Bentonville, AR-based Walmart Inc. BB #:143789 announced its holiday promotions “earlier than ever” this year, citing consumers starting their shopping as early as August and September.
And that includes holiday meal shopping. From the release:
Walmart is once again removing inflation to offer a traditional Thanksgiving meal at an even lower price than last year to help customers set their holiday table without compromise. This year, Walmart’s holiday meal offering serves up to 10 people and includes 28 customer favorites – everything from turkey (under $1/lb.!) and trimmings to dessert – for an incredible value of less than $7 per person.
Walmart will offer its inflation-free holiday meal weeks earlier this year to give customers even more opportunity to save. Starting Oct. 14-Dec. 25 in stores and on Walmart.com with one easy click, customers can take advantage of savings on all the holiday meal essentials to make Thanksgiving, Christmas or Sunday night dinner easier and more affordable, all season long. New this year, customers can gift the complete holiday meal for pickup or delivery to neighbors, friends and family anywhere in the country, making it easier to celebrate with those near and far.
And during this season of giving, Walmart and The Salvation Army are working together to give customers options to support families served by The Salvation Army in their community – in big and small ways.
- New this year, customers can donate the equivalent of the holiday meal to a local family with one easy click when purchasing a holiday meal on Walmart.com or round up any purchase on Walmart.com.
- At Walmart stores, customers can donate to the Red Kettles outside or buy gifts for children in need through the Angel Tree program.
Last year, customers and members raised more than $34 million to support local Salvation Army units. This year’s campaign builds on Walmart and the Walmart Foundation’s long-term support of The Salvation Army, awarding more than $7 million over the last five years.
Experience holiday magic through ultimate convenience options
Whether customers prefer to shop online, through the app or in store, customers can trust that their items will arrive on time, even for those last-minute gifts. Walmart’s best-in-class pickup and delivery meet customers’ needs, lifestyles and preferences, with Early Morning delivery starting at 6 a.m. and Express Delivery available in as soon as 30 minutes. New this year, the retailer is using new AI technology to expand its delivery scope to reach an additional 12 million households.
Walmart prepares all year long to make the holiday shopping season remarkable for its customers, and the retailer is ready to serve them with its next-gen supply chain and world-class team of associates. The retailer’s recent investments to create a more connected supply chain means customers can have confidence that Walmart will have the things they want, need and love, at the speed at which they want it, all season long.
The retailer has also been hiring associates throughout the year and will first offer additional hours to current associates where needed. Walmart stores will be closed once again on Thanksgiving Day so associates can spend the day with their families.
From the hottest deals to delicious meals, customers can trust that Walmart will help them win the season with consistently low prices and a convenient experience no matter when, where or how they choose to shop.
