Walmart on Wednesday announced a sale lowering prices on common holiday foods for the rest of 2023 to help cushion the impact of inflation.
From November 1st to December 26th, Walmart will reduce prices on customers’ favorite foods including many brand names such as turkey, ham, stuffing, pumpkin pie ingredients and more.
According to a news release, Walmart announced that a customer survey found that 92% of shoppers are concerned about inflation.
The company cut prices for the 2022 holiday season, lowering food prices to 2021 levels, and plans to do the same this year.
Arizona’s inflation rate has fallen by 3.7%, but Walmart plans to temporarily offer lower prices to satisfy money-conscious customers. Here’s what you need to know:
