Walmart's Thanksgiving Meal Deal Returns To 2019 Low Price Levels

Gas prices are approaching $3, but food inflation remains a concern, particularly with a severe cattle shortage previously impacting prices. Walmart is offering an exceptionally affordable Thanksgiving meal package this year, reminiscent of 2019 prices. The package includes 20 items and a Butterball turkey at a low per-pound price. This complete meal basket, serving ten people, costs less than $40. Walmart's CEO highlighted their commitment to affordability and quality for the holiday. The included items consist of a variety of Thanksgiving staples such as stuffing, rolls, and vegetables. Other grocery chains like Aldi are also offering competitive meal deals around the same price point. This competition arrives amidst increasing financial struggles for various income levels of consumers. Goldman Sachs research shows Walmart leading the trend with significant discounts on groceries. The Thanksgiving meal deals show major retailer's attempt to provide accessible holiday options.
