Holiday traditions are different in every household, even for the most mainstream occasions. My Southern grandmother serves lasagna for Christmas dinner each year and refuses help in the kitchen. However, my in-laws celebrate every major holiday potluck-style, and guests bring their favorite side dish and dessert.
Thanksgiving is only one week away, and whether you’re serving traditional favorites or spicing up the holiday with the unexpected, you’ll find a solution for every table at Walmart.
The Traditionalist on a Budget
You clip coupons on the regular, and you buy in bulk. You love the holidays, not just because of the family get-togethers, but also for the out-of-this-world deals that retailers offer on these special occasions.
If you’re looking to get the biggest bang for your Thanksgiving buck, it’s no surprise that Walmart is the smartest one-stop shop. Did you know you can provide a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 for only $32.64 at Walmart? That’s 34% less than the average Thanksgiving meal, according to the latest annual survey from the American Farm Bureau Federation.And, to give customers even more peace of mind, our Savings Catcher tool now includes the holiday meal centerpiece – holiday ham and turkey.
- Use Savings Catcher to make sure you’re getting the best deal on your ham or turkey.
- Look for Great Value, Marketside and Sam’s Choice products for quality, affordable groceries.
- Save time and money by making a list for your shopping trip.

The Busy Host
You don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen. You have a family, responsibilities, or more important things to do than hover over turkey. Or maybe, like me, you work during the holidays and prefer to relax and watch the parade rather than stand at a hot stove. Whatever your reason for wanting a good meal made quickly, we’ve got you covered.
Time-saving tips:
- Frozen appetizers can make time fly as guests wait for the main meal. And, they’ve gotten a gourmet upgrade this year – for example, our Sam’s Choice mozzarella cheese sticks now include asiago cheese, and our sliders now include a pretzel bun.
- Take a shortcut with ready-made frozen piecrusts, dinner rolls or some of Walmart’s pre-made pies found in the bakery section.
