Holiday Feast With Walmart (Gift Card Giveaway!)
I love cooking for the holidays. I have all of my traditional dishes that I have to cook every year (or it wouldn’t be the holidays!). My meal includes ham, a family-favorite potato dish, jello, rolls, beans, salad, and pies. Feeding my own family of 7 is pricey enough, but adding friends and family for the holidays can get pricier for sure.
The current economy impacts overall holiday plans for the majority of moms, emphasizing the importance of deals like these when it comes to ensuring that Americans everywhere have the opportunity to enjoy holiday meals with their families. And with many of us planning to entertain more than 7 people for the holidays, Walmart’s fresh and affordable holiday meals help eliminate some of the stress that comes from hosting a large get-together. And to give your recipes a new spin, Aarón Sánchez of Food Network fame shares cooking tips and unique, delicious recipes he created with Walmart’s basket of holiday and New Year’s ingredients.
Walmart’s $30 Christmas feast for eight starts with family-favorite ingredients, including:
- • One 10-pound spiral cut half-ham
- • Three 8-ounce cans Del Monte Green Beans
- • One 10-pound bag of Russet potatoes
- • One 12-count package of Sara Lee dinner rolls
- • One 10 inch Pumpkin Pie
Chef Aarón Sánchez has tips for turning a New Year’s party into an extra-special affair to remember. Using standard party ingredients, such as cocktail shrimp, a veggie platter, and crescent rolls, Chef Aarón created a party-ready fiesta spread for 10 for as low as $40. It includes:
- • Shrimp Tray
- • Vegetable Tray
- • Hillshire Farms Little Smokies
- • Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- • Land O’Lakes Egg Nog
- • Red Velvet cake
Now for the good news: I have two $30 Walmart giftcards to give away to two of my readers! Here are the details on how you can win one:

Coupons! I never used to fool with coupons because I thought they really weren’t worth the trouble. Fifteen cents or twenty-five cents off a two dollar product just didn’t seem like much of a bargain to me. But I’ve been keeping an eye on coupons online and now I find them for fifty cents, a dollar off, sometimes free! It’s a great way to save money!

Walmart is a life saver especially this time of year. My money saving tip is to shop early for the holidays so there is no last minute spending and always get the sales flyers emailed to you so you can comparison shop. This will ensure you are getting the lowest price.

My best money saving tip for the holidays really is to start in the spring and I can find deals as I go. Yes, there is the chance that the person buys what you had in mind, but I have only had that issue once. This way I’m not panicking and can take my time finding the perfect bargains.

My money saving tip is to research research and do a little researching ..I signed up for deal alerts and on line deal sharing forums and found out about a couple of awesome deals this year. Got my daughter an awesome laptop (that I keep sneaking and using when she’s at school) for half the price of retail. Saved me 200!!

I was very busy with my garden this summer and got a ton of fruit from the garden. I baked, dehydrated, canned, preserved and put up as much as I could. Now, for Christmas, very special people are getting fabulous home made jars of blackberry jam, spiced apple slices, dried raisins, and some extra special people are even getting blackberry liquour! Lots of time, but not lots of money. And I know that the people who are getting these gifts appreciate the home made, organic, pesticide free, delicious goodies.

My biggest money saving tip is to stock up year round, and look for meal ideas that utilize what you have in the pantry. Like I know that my husband likes green bean casserole at the holidays, and so I look for coupons related to meals that I know we’ll be eating. And always having items like flour, sugar, butter, etc., on hand is very helpful. Thank you so much for this giveaway.

Expected a crowd or hosting an important business function? Never mind the “Rubber chicken dinner” everyone despises: Serve Brunch instead. Several Quiches, Breakfast sausages, One or two waffle Irons,Mix, and plenty of toasted bagels with flavored cream cheeses, fruit, coffee, and danishes for dessert: all this will cost much less, taste great and will impress your guests.
[Reply]

Best money saving tip for this time of the year is family members should draw names, rather than buying for all family members that are not in your immediate family (mom, dad, kids).
Then for the immediate family no more than three presents for each, because Jesus was only given three gifts by the wise men for his birth.

I have stocked up on the groceries as they were on sale for months before I needed them. Before Thanksgiving the turkys and hams were on Sale. I also bought a hen to make my dressing and dumplings. Chicken broth and cream of chicken are staples for my pantry. I stocked double. Never wait till the week of a big dinner to buy for it. I have about 50 for Christmas. You plan and WRITE everything down and recheck it over for weeks before so you don’t miss anything.
[Reply]
I save money for Christmas by doing my shopping waaaaaay in advance when i see things on sale during the course of the year
[Reply]
For my holiday shopping, I made a list of things I need (to prevent impulsive buying), used coupons and took advantage of products that had rebates. I also checked and compared prices online before buying in the department stores and bought them when they were on sale. For Christmas gifts, instead of buying gift sets, I made my own gift sets and creatively designed them.

We stock shop. So, every week we stock up on only those items with extreme price cuts that we also combine with doubled coupons. More times than not, the items come out for free or next to nothing.

My best tip is to know what you are going to serve and be sure to have all ingredients/supplies on hand! And make/bake ahead as much as you possibly can.
[Reply]
Buy gifts throughout the year when you see something you know one of your giftees will like – then you don’t have to spend a lot at the holidays!

Shop the dollar stores for gift wrap. Many of them have beautiful wrapping paper, gift bags, and ribbons and bows for a fraction of the price you would pay elsewhere.
[Reply]
Stick to your list to avoid impulse buying.
[Reply]
My best money-saving tip for the holidays (and indeed, any day) is to make a list before I go shopping and try to adhere to it. There are always little impulse items waiting to trip you up (notice how they put a lot of them right by the register where you have to stare at them while waiting in line?). I’m not so strict as to say you can’t give in to the occasional impulse item, especially during the holidays; but if half the stuff in your cart is impulse items, you may be in for a rude awakening when the cashier totals your purchases up. Be like Santa: make a list, check it twice, and stick to it!
[Reply]
We buy out of season items, like summer clothing in the winter, and use coupons.
[Reply]
My money saving tip for the holidays – is to start early and take advantage of coupons like Kohs’s $10.00 off a $20.00 purchase. If you start early and pay attention to clearance items you can get a lot for your $20.00, then use the coupon and only pay $10.00

I buy a lot of things way in advance of the holiday season. Sales in the New Year and during the Spring is a great way to save money on presents that increase in cost when there is higher demand during November and December. Don’t believe the Black Friday and before Christmas sales! The best sales are earlier in the year when no one is paying attention!

My Tip is to use Coupons , when shopping @ Walmart and Always check the Clearance section!

Combine coupons with the items on sale for the holidays and stock up on non-perishable and frozen items.

My tip is to do a Christmas exchange after the holidays for gifts you don’t want as it might be exactly what someone else wants!

I do all of my shopping at Walmart. If I see a better price at another local store I take their sales ad in to Walmart and they price match. Thank you!

My tip is to draw names for large families when exchanging gifts.

My best tip is to have a potluck for your holiday meal and have everyone bring something. That way the cost is shared among all and no one is stuck buying and preparing all the food.

I am the Ooupon Queen!! I cut out coupons and share them with other family and friends who loves to save money and we save at Walmarts!

Shop with a list. If you need the item and it’s on sale buy in bulk otherwise don’t. Coupons, sales and bulk buying are good ideas.

My tip is to go shopping in the morning–it’s too crowded at night1

I avoid last minute spending by shopping for Christmas gifts throughout the year taking advantage of sales! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net

I save money by shopping the sales and using my coupons. I do this all year too. I rarely pay full price for anything at the supermarket. It really does make a big difference. Most times, I cut my grocery bill almost in half.

My best money saving tip is to always use coupons, and buy only what you need. Thanks

My best money-saving tip is to try and wait until the day or two after Christmas to buy gifts for friends and family members you won’t see on the big day — that way, you can take advantage of the amazing sales without the recipients catching on. I’ve also found that if I do wait to buy a few gifts, I’m more likely to use any cash or gift cards I receive on the 25th to purchase them rather than dip into my own funds!

My best money saving tip is to comparison shop. Too many people assume that the prices are lowest at store X just because when store Y might have the same thing on sale for half price. Also, buy things off season when possible… start stocking up for next xmas right now at 50 and 75% off sales.
[Reply]
Shop on sale, on discount, and at scratch & dent stores.
[Reply]
My money saving tip is to search the internet before buying and also I search beatmyprice.com to see if any other place has it cheaper.
[Reply]
