Walmart Introduces New ‘Inflation Deal’ To Help Customers Save During The Holiday Season
Holiday shopping has commenced, which means that everyone is searching far and wide for the best deals possible. This season is looking to be a particularly challenging one for those on a tight budget and Walmart is hoping to alleviate some of the pressure with a new “Inflation Deal.” According to the retail giant, 92% of customers have expressed some concern about how inflation will impact holiday celebrations.
From skyrocketing grocery prices to France’s government forcing corporations to cut prices, inflation is causing major changes worldwide. In fact, according to NerdWallet, over half of this year’s holiday shoppers won’t even be able to purchase every gift they’d like and some are still paying off debt from last year’s spending.
As the world’s largest retailer, Walmart is uniquely positioned to help customers have the best holiday season possible. Beginning November 1st, the company will be offering an “Inflation Deal” of sorts and cutting added inflation costs from Thanksgiving-related foods. The deal hopes to continue Walmart’s goal of saving customers money — last year, customers saved more than $1 billion on seasonal baskets and Rollbacks.
“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 US.
Until December 26, customers can purchase two Thanksgiving meal basket options at reduced prices. One basket consists of ingredients that can be prepared from scratch like turkey (for under $1/lb), ham, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and more. The other includes more convenient, ready-to-bake options. Each basket can be purchased on Walmart.com or the Walmart app for pickup or delivery.
