With fresh produce like seedless watermelon, Bentonville, Ark.-based Walmart has created a summer grilling basket to make filling up the cart for Memorial Day Weekend gatherings as easy as possible.

The basket will continue to be available through July 15 at $5.99 per person for a 12-person meal, or about $80.

And the price is lower than it was in 2022, according to a news release.

The summer grilling basket includes barbecue classics like hot dogs and hamburgers with all the fixings and popular sides, including pasta, coleslaw, chips and corn on the cob.

The offering is part of a growing trend of offering shoppers complete meal solutions to grab the dollar from foodservice channels, provide convenience and value.
