WALMART shoppers can grab themselves a Thanksgiving meal that won’t see their wallets squeezed too much.
The package will hit store shelves today and costs less than $7 per person.
Bosses say that it will help shoppers lay out their tables without compromising on their Thanksgiving favorites.
Walmart chiefs announced the deal in mid-September, allowing shoppers to plan ahead to maximize budgets, as reported by Food and Wine.
“We know many of our customers are beginning to prepare for their holiday celebrations early, and we’ve adapted our approach to best meet their needs,” Latriece Watkins, the executive vice president and chief merchandising officer at Walmart US, said.
The meal includes all the traditional Thanksgiving items – ranging from turkey, which is being sold at less than $1 per pound, to the trimmings.
And desserts will also be thrown into the package.
The hamper can feed up to 10 people and contains 28 items, according to Walmart.
However, the chain has not revealed all the items as part of the holiday meal.
The meal will be sold at a lower price than last year’s feast, according to the company.
And, bosses have boasted inflation has been removed from the price.
Shoppers can buy the meal in-store or online, and it’s available between October 14 and December 25.
Customers can also order Thanksgiving meals for family and friends anywhere in the US.
The Thanksgiving meal package was also offered to shoppers in 2022 and 2023.
The offer runs until Christmas, but shoppers will not be able to buy the package from a Walmart store on Thanksgiving.
This is because all stores will be closed so workers can mark the fall holiday with their families.
It will be the fifth consecutive year that Walmart stores will be closed for Thanksgiving.
Walmart supermarkets had been open for Thanksgiving since the late 1980s, but the company departed from tradition in 2020.
Stores have been closed for the holiday ever since.
Walmart is not the only retailer that is closed on Thanksgiving.
Target, Costco, and Sam’s Club bosses also close their respective stores to mark the fall holiday.
Thousands of Walmart stores will reopen their doors for Black Friday.
