Montana families looking for a budget‑friendly Thanksgiving can now turn to Walmart’s 2026 holiday meal basket. Priced at $35, the basket provides enough food for ten people, delivering a traditional feast without the usual price pressure.
What’s Inside the $35 Basket
The basket contains 26 items, including a Butterball turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and a pumpkin pie with whipped cream. At roughly $3.50 per person, the deal offers a full holiday spread at a fraction of typical grocery costs.
Additional Savings with a Promo Code
Several shoppers have reported using the promotional code DOUBLE10 on the Walmart app. When applied to qualifying online purchases of $35 or more, the code reduces the total cost by an additional $10, potentially bringing the basket’s price down to about $25. The discount applies to the basket itself as well as the Butterball turkey, which Walmart advertises at $0.97 per pound.
How to Purchase in Montana
The meal basket is available in Walmart stores across Montana and through the Walmart app through December 24, 2026. Shoppers can either gather the items themselves or have the pre‑assembled basket delivered or set for in‑store pickup, depending on local store availability. No Walmart+ membership is required to take advantage of the offer.
Local Impact
Rising grocery prices have strained many Montana households, especially during the holiday season. This deal provides a tangible way for families to celebrate Thanksgiving without sacrificing other essential expenses. By freeing up cash, parents can focus on creating memories and even have extra funds for Black Friday shopping or other holiday needs.
Considerations
Actual costs may vary based on the weight of the turkey purchased, product availability at individual stores, and any applicable service charges. Nevertheless, the advertised $35 price point is confirmed by Walmart’s promotional materials.
Overall, the Walmart Thanksgiving basket aligns with the community’s desire for affordable, family‑centered celebrations, reinforcing the importance of traditional values and prudent stewardship of household resources.
