Branded In-Store Meal Kits

Walmart's Meal Kits are Convenient and Affordable

— March 13, 2018 — Lifestyle
In an effort to make matters as convenient for the consumer as possible, Walmart meal kits have appeared inside of over 250 locations, offering shoppers a delicious and last-minute alternative to preparing a full meal.

The pre-portioned kits arrive at two price points: $8 and $15. The kits come complete with all the necessary ingredients and tools, in addition to comprehensive instructions that can be followed by even beginner chefs. With these kits, consumers can make restaurant quality meals for a fraction of the price, and with little to no hassle.

The Walmart meal kits drew inspiration from meal kit subscription models and offer the same immediacy and convenience, without the commitment.
