Walmart helps customers combat inflation for Easter celebrations

Easter is fast approaching and this year, inflation continues to affect how customers plan to celebrate the holiday. According to Walmart, nearly two-thirds of customers reported they expect inflation to have an impact on their Easter celebrations.

To help customers save during the holiday, the retailer says it is once again removing inflation on a Walmart-curated Easter meal, available to purchase at a price even lower than last year, so customers can celebrate their Easter traditions while staying on budget this year.

“Saving customers money is central to Walmart’s mission, and that’s never more in focus than during important holiday celebrations,” John Laney, executive vice president of food at Walmart U.S., said in a news release. “We’re proud to offer an Easter meal priced even lower than last year, so our customers can celebrate without sacrificing the essentials this holiday season and deliver on our promise of helping them save money and live better.”

Walmart says it continues to make significant investments on top of its Every Day Low Prices to offer deep savings during some of the year’s most important celebrations. This commitment saved customers more than $1 billion on seasonal baskets and Rollbacks in 2023, according to the release.

With customers still feeling the burden of high food costs, Walmart says is lowering the cost of a curated Easter meal, available for purchase at a price even lower than last year.

Customers will discover that the meal features all the Easter mainstays, from ham and sweetpotatoes to all the ingredients for deviled eggs, to apple pie and more; the meal can serve up to 10 people and is available for an average price of less than $8 per person, according to the release.

Customers can purchase an Easter basket — complete with candy, fun accessories and paper grass — for under $20 at Walmart this holiday season.

“Easter baskets full of treats, stuffed bunnies and egg hunts are all synonymous with Easter celebrations,” Julie Barber, executive vice president of general merchandise at Walmart U.S., said in the release. “We have made sure that our customers can not only get their entire meal at a great price at Walmart, but we’re also offering amazing prices on the seasonal extras that really add to the holiday celebrations and memory-making.”

Customers can take advantage of the savings on the Easter meal in-stores and online through March 31. Same-day delivery or curbside pick-up are available for both the meal and basket in just one easy click by visiting walmart.com/EasterSavings and walmart.com/EasterBasket, respectively.
