For many people, living on a budget after retirement is a fact of life. That, paired with rising grocery prices, means it can feel like every trip to the store is an opportunity to go broke. But it doesn’t have to be that way — savvy shoppers know that planning means you get more bang (and Easter goodies!) for your buck.
Here are Walmart’s best deals to help you create a memorable (and delicious!) holiday meal without straining your retirement budget.
Rotisserie Chicken Under $6
Skip the expensive ham and grab Walmart’s Freshness Guaranteed Traditional Rotisserie Chicken for just $5.97. It’s perfect for smaller Easter gatherings and comes already cooked, saving you time and money that would be better spent with and on your family.
Party-Size Appetizers
For pre-dinner snacking, choose Doritos Party Size chips, which cost $5.94 for a 14.5-ounce bag. These crowd-pleasers help stretch your entertaining budget further, and grandkids love them.Â
Easter Candy Deals
Speaking of grandkids, if the Easter Bunny visits them at your house this year, stocking up on sweet treats early is good. For Easter basket treats and dessert table décor, grab Cadbury Mini Eggs for $4.48 per 9-ounce bag or Reese’s Milk Chocolate Snack Size Peanut Butter Eggs for $4.48 for a 9.6-ounce bag.
Easter Morning Essentials
Easter morning just got a whole lot cheaper! Great Value Whole Vitamin D Milk is just $2.56 per gallon — perfect for Easter morning breakfast and coffee.

Baby Carrots for the Easter Spread
Are you planning a vegetable platter or making classic glazed carrots? Walmart’s 1-pound bag of baby peeled carrots is just $1.07 — an unbeatable price for this Easter dinner staple.
