Walmart Offers Significant Savings on Holiday Meals Compared to
National Average from American Farm Bureau Federation
BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
Walmart
customers shopping for a traditional Thanksgiving meal can plan a
10-person dinner for $32.64, 34 percent less than the national average
of $49.41 reported by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) today.
“As the largest grocer in the U.S., we’re committed to helping our
customers find low prices on grocery items every day, especially during
the holidays when our customers are planning for multiple meals and
celebrations,” said Jack Sinclair, executive vice president of grocery,
Walmart U.S. “We’re focused on offering competitive pricing on
everything our customers are looking for this holiday season – from
staples like turkey and pumpkin pie to new ingredients some customers
are incorporating into their Thanksgiving recipes, like honey bourbon
bacon and flavored hams.”
Customers can shop Walmart with confidence for all their holiday meal
essentials. The retailer recently expanded its Savings
Catcher tool* earlier this month to
include holiday turkey and ham.
The American Farm Bureau Federation’s informal
annual survey incorporated information from a total of 179 shoppers
in 35 states across the country. The volunteer shoppers visited local
grocery stores to gather pricing on Thanksgiving staples, including
turkey, stuffing, pie shells and pumpkin pie mix. The products Walmart
used in the analysis are comparable to the items used in the Farm Bureau
report.
