Inflation is finally starting to ease, but let’s face it: prices are still high. And that means celebrations like Easter cost more than they did last year — unless you shop at Walmart.
For Easter 2024, Walmart kept prices low on things like eggs, so you could order a complete Easter meal and stock up on Easter basket essentials without inflation bumping up your total. We did the math and found out that for a family of four, you could get a 3-course Easter meal and a bunch of low-priced basket stuffers — all for under $100.
Will Walmart repeat this type of deal next year? While we won't know the details for what Walmart has in store for 2025 until next year, here's a look back at Walmart's Easter meal and Easter basket essentials 2024 deals.
