With inflation continuing to strain the budgets of Americans planning to celebrate Easter, Walmart has pledged to help customers save money to commemorate the holiday.
Nearly two-thirds of Walmart customers (65%) report that they expect inflation to have an impact on their Easter celebrations.
The retailer said in a statement that it is eliminating inflation on a Walmart-selected Easter meal, available to purchase at an even lower price than last year, so customers can celebrate their Easter traditions while staying on budget. .
Walmart noted that a full Easter meal can be purchased for less than $8 per person.
According to the company, the company’s investments allow it to offer savings during some of the most important celebrations of the year. For example, Walmart saved customers more than $1 billion on seasonal baskets and Rollbacks in 2023.
“As customers still feel the burden of high food costs, Walmart is reducing the cost of a curated Easter meal, available for purchase at an even lower price than last year,” said John Laney, executive vice president Walmart US Food
“Customers will be delighted to discover that the meal includes all the Easter main dishes, from ham and sweet potatoes to all the ingredients for deviled eggs, apple pie and more. Best of all, the meal can serve up to 10 people and is available for an average price of less than $8 per person,” the statement said,” Laney added.
Walmart will have an Easter basket filled with candy, fun accessories, and paper grass on sale for under $20.
You’ll also have several seasonal must-haves available, from Easter bunny inflatables to deck out your front yard, to Peeps plushies and flocked Easter bunnies to freshen up any space.
Consumers can take advantage of savings on Easter food in stores and online through March 31. Same-day delivery or curbside pickup is available for both food and basket with just one click.
