Walmart Makes Christmas and New Years Meals You Can Afford

Filed under Blog Tours, Product Reviews
With the holidays comes all the family gatherings and meal preparations to feed what seems like an army of people. I know how easy it is these days to go to the store for just a few simple things and you wind up spending nearly a hundred dollars and feel like you come home with next to nothing. With the current state of the economy, I think families are truthfully struggling to keep food on the table and finding ways to make a holiday meal and or party memorable on a budget can sometimes be tough.
Walmart is helping families celebrate without breaking the bank and they are offering fresh and affordable holiday meals to help eliminate some of the stress that comes from footing the bill in hosting a large gathering. Walmart’s Christmas Dinner for Eight under $30 provides all the ingredients necessary for a traditional meal, including a 10-lb Spiral Cut Half Ham, three cans of Del Monte green beans, one 10-lb bag of russet potatoes, Sara Lee dinner rolls, and a pumpkin pie! The New Year’s party basket for 10 for under $40 includes a Shrimp Tray, Vegetable Tray, Hillshire Farms Little Smokies, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, Land O’Lakes Egg Nog, and a Red Velvet cake. And to give your recipes some pizazz Aaron Sanchez of Food Network is sharing some cooking tips and unique, delicious recipes he created with Walmart’s basket of holiday and New Year’s ingredients. I am amazed at how much you can get for under $40 to make a really great event! Not only that their holiday meal pages offer some great recipes and tips.
We do a lot of our pantry staple items at Walmart simply because they offer prices that are well below the supermarkets in our area. I think that offering meals that the whole family can enjoy without the additional stress of finding out how to pay for all of it is a great way to give families a leg up. One less worry makes our job as Moms a little easier so we can enjoy the holidays as well.
DoubleBugs, Walmart and Mom Central would love to give two lucky readers a $30 Walmart gift card to buy the perfect celebration meal for your family and friends.

My favorite holiday meal features a standing rib roast. Wal-Marts low prices allow more bang for the buck. One meal for under $40 would feature their garlic studded pot roast.

My favorite is when I’m having steak and baked potato cooked on the grill.For under $40. I can get enough food for 10.Everything would be delicious too. Love the red velvet cake and vegetable tray. Yum on all of it. What a great way to bring in the new year.
We love to have Christmas sugar cookies for dessert during the holidays.
What I love about Walmart’s prices and meals under $40 is that they list everything, including rolls and dessert, that you would need to execute a holiday dinner. I think that’s very helpful.

Christmas Eve we always have ham, potato salad, baked beans & lots of Christmas cookies!
One of our favorite meals is a simple pot roast in the crockpot. I usually get a 2.5-3lb beef roast, put in 1-2 cups of broth, and add a layer of chopped carrots, onions and potatoes on the bottom. I put the roast on top and set to low for about 8 hours. Always very good, and fairly economical. It feeds at least six people, I would think, as we usually have a fair amount of leftovers.
I have done a lot of cost comparison in our area, and find that Walmart often has comparable or better prices to Aldi or Kroger, especially when they have sales on milk. I find a lot of good deals on dairy at Walmart.
My mom makes a great lasagna
Our family tradition is baking cookies for santa – and I love how Walmart’s meals are so healthy and put together – very convenient and affordable for our family!
We love turkey. Walmart is good, because it is cheap.
my mom always makes stuffed shells
It has been tradition in our family for at least 35 years to have beef fondue on Christmas Eve. Shopping at WalMart lets us afford to buy a better cut of meat for the dinner and have enough left over for dessert!
Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings
My favorite tradition is watching my daughter open her gifts on Christmas morning 🙂 I also love Wal Mart’s prices because they are better than any place else. You can make multiple dinner’s for under $40.00
I think Walmart is fabulous for recognizing that there are a lot of struggling families out there, and I applaud them for doing what they can to address the problem. My favorite food tradition is that I was always allowed to have Shirley Temples or Roy Rodgers for the holidays when I was a kid, and when my kids are a little older, they can have them too.
My favorite meal is turkey, mashed potatoes, coleslaw and pumpkin pie. I like Walmart’s meals for under $40 because you can serve a lot of people for a little money.
My favorite family meal is fried chicken and the meals are great under 40 bucks.
My favorite family meal is turkey roast, fresh corn, and homemade mashed potatoes and gravy.
I love WalMart because they offer the widest selection at the best prices. What mom doesn’t love saving money!?

Thank you for the giveaway. I love turkey, pie and other goodies during the holidays. Delcious but, bad for my thighs!! The things I love about Walmart (I shop there often) is that they will price match other grocery stores so on top of the savings they offer, you can save even more if an item is on sale elsewhere.
My favorite holiday meal is roast turkey with green bean casserole and cranberry relish. The other trimmings are good too and we can afford them when we shop at Wallie World.

Our traditional Christmas Eve meal is roast beef and mashed potatoes, and then a big lasagna on Christmas Day. Walmart is pretty far out of the way for me for grocery shopping on a regular basis, but when I do get out there I notice how much lower their prices are on lots of the basics.

Our favorite holiday meal is Italian- salad and pasta. Its easy to save a few bucks if you go to Walmart.
walmart has the best prices around here on so many food products.we rarely spend more than $40 for a meal… My favorite is hot ham & cheese on a roll
July 4th is our favorite holiday for food. Going to Walmart, the hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken and rolls and fixings for the BBQ are the lowest prices in town. The shelves are always being restocked and I love the variety of chips and pickles and mustards and so many things to mention. Even the decorations are at great prices to make this holiday a real day to celebrate.

We like having a big assortment of cheese and crackers to snack on all day Christmas day. (and who doesn’t love lower prices?)
my favorite family meal to make is lasagna. You can make a lot of it fairly simply and I have a really good recipe for it. Add in some garlic bread, a salad…great meal!
My favorite meal is cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli casserole, green beans and creamed corn. It’s great saving money with the lower priced groceries at Walmart.
Our favorite family meal is honey baked ham, green bean casserole, cheesy potatoes, and cole slaw.
Mom’s lasagna keeps everyone happy. We all stretch a dollar where we can, and the fact that Walmart is increasingly ecofriendly makes us feel better about shopping there.

I love to make soups. They are healthy and really stretch the budget. Walmart prices help even more. Thanks for the chance.

My kids don’t quite get the meaning of the word “tradition”. They consider our best holiday traditions to be:
1. My sister gets lost on the way to our house and goes by the airport (a 20
minute detour – so 40 minutes altogether)
2. My father comes in for Christmas dinner and bangs his head on the Christmas
wind chimes

I love Walmart because they have such a huge selection and they will price match so I don’t have to run all over the place to get the best deals
My favorite holiday meal is Christmas Eve dinner. We’ve combined what we love best from hubby’s Finnish tradition and my Polish tradition and it works out to be a spectacular dinner rich in flavor and memories.
What I love about Walmart’s prices and holiday meals is that they’ve enabled folks to share a holiday feast with their family for a very low price. I know how much that helps in today’s economic climate!
My favorite family tradition is when everyone brings the same food to the Christmas party. We have been doing this for so long and it never gets tiring. And people seem to perfect their meals to make them better every other Xmas or so. And the desserts are always amazing. My favorite dessert is Watergate Salad!!! You can find the recipe on the back of the marshmellow package. We like to change it up a bit sometimes, but its always soooo delicious. I can easily make myself very sick from that one! I love Walmarts prices. I do most if not all of my grocery shopping there and save a lot of money with their Great Value products, which are exactly like the name brands. Meals for under $40 is great because you can serve some delicious foods without going over your budget. Who says you have to eat with expensive foods? Not me!!! Thanks for the amazing giveaway.
Our favorite family tradition is putting up the tree the day after Thanksgiving. I love Walmarts prices because everything is a lot cheaper then other stores. There food items are great and for nice prices.
Our favorite meal is a baked ham, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. The other side items vary each holiday!
My favorite holiday meal is Turkey at Thanksgiving. Walmart keeps the prices low and helps me afford feeding the whole extended family.
Anything with pumpkin pie for after dinner is a meal
My favorite meal is turkey and mashed potatos, I think walmarts’ prices are lower than most other places and getting a family dinner for $40 is great
WE have fondue every Christmas eve. So yummy! I love the great prices at Walmart.
My kids love when we have the big turkey feast.
My mom always wips out the Christmas Ham during the holidays. YUM.
I love shopping for gifts at Walmart because there’s about a $1-5 difference between Walmart and the other stores!

I like wal marts price matching garuntee, i have used it three times!
one thing i love about Wal-Mart are the saving when i buy Pet food for my 2 Rescue Cats i do save on household needs paper goods etch money goes much farther shopping Wal-Mart
Our holiday meals are pretty set as to the basic menu–turkey (sometimes with ham as well), dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes with gravy, a couple of vegetables, and a couple of types of pie. We actually picked up the remainder of the items we needed for tomorrow’s dinner yesterday at Walmart, and although I didn’t get out for $30, it really wasn’t the fault of those food items! Like you, the prices there are generally less than at the various supermarkets in the area, so most of our basic grocery shopping is done at Walmart. It is rather nice to know that if we stuck to their menu strictly, we could really feed the family for the amount they say–however, we usually have a few extras that put it up somewhat.
my favorite family meal is my mom’s mashed potatos and peas! she makes the best! organic and fresh!
I Love Green Bean Casserole…
My favorite family meal must include grandma’s sweet potato casserole! I love Walmart’s low price and meals under $40 is super awesome and convenient to get for the busy holiday schedule.

I like our Thanksgiving meal. We have it at my sister’s house since she is the cook of the family. I bring the ham and she cooks most of everything else. We let all the kids play while we put the final touches on the meal. Then we all eat while watching a little football. It’s a lot of fun getting the whole family together. Thank you!
Ham or turkey says holiday to me, as long as there’s a side of sweet potatoes. What’s cool about WalMart is you can stock up on the same name brand products but at lower prices.
Every year I make buttermilk pie for dessert on Thanksgiving.
My favorite holiday meal is turkey and all the trimmings, I make my husband his favorite stuffing to go in the turkey (Hungarian style) its an old recipe handed down to me by a close hungarian friend and the whole family looks forward to this stuffing every holiday, and for me shopping at walmart is great place to save and get great deals on holiday items and everyday items too, thanks for the great giveaway

My husband makes home-made, boneless wings… they are delicious! We use a variety of sauces for an interesting New Years Eve! We also include cream-cheese roll-ups as well as a cheese-ball. Yummy!
Wal-Mart helps make this New Years snack extravaganza possible each year with their low prices which has been even more important this past year as I lost my job in November 2008. I can always count on the Wal-Mart price to be lower and making my shopping easier with two little ones!
Everything at Christmas dinner is great, but my dad’s brown sugar ham is the best. 🙂

Our favorite family meal is Chicken n Dumplings. My kids can’t get enough of them. I always shop at Walmart because not only do they have great prices but if I find a lower advertised price they will match it. You can’t beat that.

I love the turkey meal I can get at Walmart. Also love making cookies with the kids on Christmas Eve.
I like the Stouffers lasagna with a tossed salad, toasted bread with garlic butter and brownies! Yummy! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
We always have a baked ham for Christmas dinner and with Wal-Mart’s great prices it doesn’t break our budget.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love that we make cookies for Santa the day of (they must be fresh you know) and also leave carrots out for the reindeer… Walmart helps keep the budget within the budget
Gotta have ham and mashed potatoes!
We always have either a turkey or ham on any major holiday!
Walmart has great prices — a lot cheaper than the local grocery stores! You can always count on that!

If the weather is nice, we BBQ a turkey. Otherwise, we have a ham or Cornish Game Hens, depending on the number of people. You can ALWAYS count on Walmart to have the lowest prices anywhere! You can fix a great meal for less if you shop there!

We have the traditional dinner for Christmas (turkey, dressing, gravy, potatoes,etc). My grandmother always burns the rolls which makes us laugh. It’s almost a tradition in itself. I also love Walmarts convenience, variety, cheap meals that have saved our family in this economy!
We Love Glazed ham and Candied yams
My favorite family tradition is the whole family coming together for the holidays. We are all spread out throughout the country and the holidays is the only time that we all come together to spend time together.

Every New Year’s Eve we have a game night at my in-laws. It’s very casual and fun and of course we shop at Walmart to help make it affordable!
What I love about Walmarts meals for under $40 is that since it is just my husband and myself,it stretches our dollars even further
We ususally have ham for our Christmas dinner. Along with plenty of side dishes and vegetables. Walmart makes buying dinner less expensive and has everything I need.
ham,beans,potatoes,salads.thanks

my favorite family meal is the first summer cook out
http://twitter.com/HMB99/status/7240761867
I like that Walmart makes it affordable for families to still cook a good traditonal holiday meal.
My favorite holiday tradition is getting to enjoy my mom’s homemade egg nog and sugar cookies by the tree on Christmas Eve as we exchange one gift apiece before going to bed — we eat so many cookies, we practically make a meal out of them! Walmart’s a huge help around the holidays, with both gifts and meal planning — I was able to put together a pretty great spread, with a pork roast and all the fixings, for about $35 this year, and I bought several great gifts from the home decor and electronics department at amazing “doorbuster” prices. Thanks!

Our family meal is my spaghetti sauce and meatballs!
What I love about Walmart’s prices is that they are the best anywhere, and I never have a problem finding what I need.
The meals for under $40 is something I like because it shows that you can entertain and still not go broke.
My favorite is veggie lasagna. I like that I can buy enough for my whole family for a low price.
My favorite tradition is eating greens on Christmas. I love that Walmart meals won’t make you broke. You can feed a whole family on a lot less money.

My favorite meal tradition is turkey and dressing. In fact I am cooking one right now for New Years – that I bought at Walmart. I can afford more with their great prices.

We have a very traditional Christmas meal and a great part of that tradition is that we all bring something to help out the host/hostess, so they do not have to prepare everything. I love that we all help each other out by bringing a part of the meal. Thanks!
Our favorite tradition is opening a new game on Christmas eve and having a family game night. I love the low prices at Walmart, because my budget can go a little further, and I love the challenge of feeding my family a healthy meal for a reasonable price.

My favorite meal tradition is Saturday morning breakfast with my mom – we have such fun times.
We have to have a ham and turkey with homemade cornbread dressing for Christmas.Thanks!
My Pap-pa used to say that for every black-eyed pea you eat on New Year’s Day, you’ll earn a dollar in the New Year. If that was true in his day, then only imagine what each pea must be worth in 2010! We always ate black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day as part of a full meal, but now, I pretty much only eat black-eyed peas all day, starting with my first bowl right after midnight. In this economy, I need all the help I can get!
My fave meal- lasagna with a huge salad

Also I forgot to mention that I love how Wal-mart has made some suggestions of how to create a holiday feast for less than $40.
I hope they’ll develop something along these lines for hurricane season. A lot of people think they have to spend a ton of money, wait ’til the storm’s headed into shore, buy a bunch of expensive stuff they probably really don’t need OR they buy nothing and complain that the government needs to feed them. $30 or $40 at Wal-mart in May could buy you enough supplies to last for a week if something happens.

My favorite tradition is to make sugar cookies with my family. Walmart always has the best prices and my family is big so making a holiday meal for 10 people for only $40 dollars is a great bargain. I like the Chipotle Mashed Potatoes recipe.

My favorite food tradition is all of the appetizers we have on Christmas Eve. We make all kinds of stuff so it can be kind of expensive. We like to get all the ingredients at Wal-mart.
