With 92% of Walmart customers expressing some level of concern
about inflation1 and how it will impact holiday celebrations,
Walmart is doubling down on its commitment to saving customers more
money. Today, the retailer kicks off the holiday season
announcing:
- Unprecedented savings: Over the past year, Walmart saved
its customers more than $1 billion on seasonal baskets and
Rollbacks, from Thanksgiving to Easter to the back-to-school
season. Saving customers money is in Walmart’s DNA, and at a time
when customers need it most, the retailer is pulling out all the
stops this holiday season to again deliver unprecedented
savings.
- Inflation fighting: Starting Nov.1, Walmart is again
removing inflation to offer a traditional Thanksgiving meal on
customers’ favorite brands at an even lower price than last year,
making it even easier and more affordable for customers to set
their holiday table so they can focus on what matters, spending
time with loved ones.
- Unmatched convenience and assortment: Walmart is
delivering exceptional value this holiday, no matter when, where or
how customers shop. The company is offering even deeper savings
with more frequent deals on top of its Every Day Low Prices on an
expanded assortment of must-have gifts from top brands. An improved
shopping experience with expanded pickup and delivery options make
shopping easier, faster and more fun, from Black Friday to Cyber
Monday to last-minute gifts.
“Saving money remains a top priority for our customers, and this
holiday season, we’re building on the investments we made last year
knowing they need it now more than ever,” said John Furner,
president and chief executive officer, Walmart U.S. “We’re better
positioned than ever before to deliver on our purpose, to help
customers save money and live better, especially during the most
exciting time of the year. We’re ready to deliver the omni shopping
experience we know our customers want and need, it’s going to be a
great holiday season at Walmart.”
Celebrating A Year of Saving Customers Money
In the face of record-breaking inflation last year, Walmart made
significant investments on top of its everyday low prices to offer
a traditional Thanksgiving meal at 2021’s price – and the retailer
didn’t stop there. Walmart made additional investments throughout
the year, from Easter to summer to back-to-school so customers
could focus on celebrating life’s most exciting moments.
Walmart’s saved customers more than $1 billion over the last
year, at a time when customers needed it most, underscoring
Walmart’s commitment to help customers save money and live
better.
Even Bigger Thanksgiving Meal Savings – Starting Nov.
1
To meet customers’ needs, Walmart is offering two Thanksgiving
meal options at an even lower price than last year, one with
ingredients for customers who like to cook from scratch, and one
for customers who like more convenient, ready-to-bake options.
Walmart’s Thanksgiving meal includes customers’ favorites and
fixings including many national brands, from turkey (for under
$1/lb.!) and ham to stuffing and pumpkin pie. Best of all,
customers can effortlessly purchase these meal baskets with a
single click on Walmart.com or the Walmart app for quick and easy
pickup or delivery in as soon as 30 minutes and up to 90
minutes.
Starting Nov. 1 and valid through Dec. 26, 2023, customers can
take advantage of these savings for all their holiday meals. No
matter when, where or how customers prefer to shop, they can feel
confident Walmart will have a strong supply of in-stock turkeys,
hams and all the fixings at even better prices than last year.
More deals, More often, All Season Long
Customers can trust Walmart to deliver with deeper savings on
the most popular gifts across apparel, beauty, electronics, home,
toys and more. This holiday season, Walmart will have more deals,
more often, as well as offering thousands more Rollbacks across key
gifting categories so customers can save even more. With 60% of
Walmart customers reporting inflation will affect holiday budgeting
and lead to more intentional gifting2, Walmart is helping customers
save early and often on the best gifts of the season, with many
more exciting deals events to come.
To help customers find exactly what they’re wishing for, Walmart
has aggressively expanded its assortment of holiday gifts with more
items, more exciting new brands and more Walmart exclusives. In
toys alone, Walmart has over 1,000 new items, more than 500
Walmart-exclusives and more than 25 of Walmart’s 2023 Top Toys are
under $25, including list toppers from Barbie, LEGO, Pokémon and
Squishmallows. For customers searching for the perfect gift,
Walmart has an expanded assortment of lab-grown diamonds at a
fraction of the price elsewhere, picture-perfect matching family
pajamas (for pets too!) and top electronics from Apple, LG and
others.
Customers can shop the endless aisles on Walmart.com to find
incredible prices on hundreds of millions of items including gifts
from top brands including Carote Cookware, Dyson, Michael Kors,
Reebok, Samsung, Sony and Vitamix.

At Walmart, holiday inspiration is a click or store visit away
