With the Holidays quickly here and the economy making money tight for all, Wal-Mart has shown shoppers how to plan their Christmas meal for eight for as little as $30.
Chef Aaron Sanchez, co-host of Food Network’s, Chefs vs. City, has teamed up with Wal-Mart to create easy and affordable recipes for entertaining your guests this season. With options to create a Christmas meal for 8 at the price as little as $20 and a New Year’s meal for 10 for under $40, who could say no?
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
I’ve been trying to learn new recipes and I have to say, with ideas like Chipotle Mashed Potatoes and Creamed Corn Gratin, I would love to share these with my family.
Saving money with the Holidays is always a big deal. From Christmas toy shopping to entertaining guests, things can be expensive so shopping at Wal-Mart for your meal is just one way to help save money.

The Mexican shrimp cocktail sounds interesting.
I save money during the holidays by shopping at Walmart and Amazon.com. I think those 2 places seem to have the lowest prices.
Coquito (Puerto Rican style egg nog) sounds yummy!
This holiday season we saved money by baking cookies instead of buying gifts.

The mushroom recipe actually sounds good even though I have never ate a mushroom before.
This year I tried to combing sale prices with coupons and I was amazed at how much I saved. I also simplified the menu – instead of 10 side dishes we only had a few. It was great!

I never buy wrapping paper. Every package that comes in the mail is filled with perfectly good brown paper. I save it and wrap presents with it. Then let the kids decorate it. It’s much more personalized and you can’t get better than free!
