Whether it’s an all-purpose seasoning blend or heat and serve sides, there are plenty of options available to make hosting this year’s harvest day feast a breeze. And the Arkansas-based supermarket chain is ready to deliver shopping lists tailored to fit any budget and skill level so you can look like the ultimate host this year.
Beginning November 1, Walmart will be offering three different baskets featuring holiday essentials for shoppers to choose from. Priced at $30, $70 and $77, the cheapest option includes a 16-pound turkey, chicken stuffing mix, canned turkey gravy, French-fried onions, canned corn, instant mashed potatoes, canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup, canned cranberry sauce and a pack of rolls. While the $30 basket is a bit more budget-friendly, you may want to jazz up the meal by adding in fresh herbs or your favorite embellishments to amp up the flavor.

For shopper’s looking for name brand ingredients, the $70 option is the perfect choice. This basket delivers ready-made products from trusted brands, while also offering a few items you’ll have to make yourself. Included in the mid-tier basket you’ll find Bob Evans Mac and Cheese, Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce, Marie Callender's Pecan Pie and more.
If you have a bit more cash and time to spare, the $77 package includes whole ingredients like sweet potatoes, celery, cranberries and dry macaroni — which allows more flexibility in the final product. Regardless of which basket you choose though, each one can feed 8 to 10 people, and comes packed with everything you need to make this year's dinner as memorable as the last.
If Costco happens to be your grocer of choice and you’re still looking for a ready-to-go Thanksgiving dinner, you can place a pre-order for the chain’s gourmet Thanksgiving dinner that's sure to be a hit with all of your guests.
