Walmart’s holiday grocery rollback
According to Walmart’s press release, you can get this year’s Thanksgiving meal at last year’s price. And it looks like the same goes for your Christmas or Hanukkah meal as well, because the reduced prices are good through December 26th, 2022.
This discount includes holiday staples for from-scratch meals — including turkey, ham, potatoes, yams, pecans, canned pumpkin, premade pie crusts, and even whipped cream.
It also includes pre-made and convenience items, including pumpkin and pecan pie, macaroni and cheese, stuffing mix, gravy, and more.
Amazingly, you can also get kitchen prep items at the rolled back price — including tin foil, baking pans, plastic wrap, and more.
You can see all the roll-backed items here, but some of the biggest savings include:
- A frozen Honeysuckle turkey for 98 cents per pound. The average cost for a frozen turkey was $1.24 per pound the first week of November, according to the USDA.
- A can of whipped dairy topping for $2.94 instead of $3.48.
- A 5-lb bag of russet potatoes for $2.96 instead of $3.97.
- Eight ounces of pecan halves for $4.52 instead of $6.34
- A 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries for $1.50 instead of $2.18
- A 3-pound bag of yellow onions for $2 instead of $3.18
- Pillsbury pre-made pie crusts for $2.87 instead of $4.24
- A 2-pound bag of baby carrots for $1.48 instead of $1.92
In addition, Walmart+ members can save even more on holiday necessities through Walmart Rewards. The new program provides access to over $1,000 in Walmart Reward offers on hundreds of items from grocery to household essentials. The rewards can be used on future online or in-store purchases at Walmart.
There are over 50 Walmart stores within a 50-mile radius of downtown Atlanta.
