Walmart said that this year’s Thanksgiving meal is its “best offer yet,” including over 20 national and private brand items and its lowest-priced turkey since 2019.

We expect a continuation of current strategies.”

A Walmart director told Newsweek: "The trust of our customers and the integrity of our platform remain paramount."
