The day America celebrates in red, white and blue is just around the corner and for all your Fourth of July needs, look no further than Walmart. With everyday low prices and a wide selection of festive goods, this retailer is a go-to for stocking up on holiday supplies, while saving money.
To help you score the best finds, GOBankingRates spoke to Hope Ware, frugal living expert and founder of Under the Median.
Here are her top four picks for high-quality, tasty and affordable snacks that are sure to get you and your loved ones in the patriotic spirit. Even better? The total bill for all five comes in at just $11.53.
Star-Shaped Patriotic Mini Sugar Cookies
- Price: $4.78
Attending a Fourth of July party? These festive mini star-shaped sugar cookies are perfect for keeping spirits high and costs low.
“Walmart’s star-shaped sugar cookies with a flag motif have no frosting,” Ware said. “Instead, each cookie was nicely dusted with a simple coating of red or blue sugar. They are a crunchy, light finish to a holiday gathering.”
At just 48 cents per ounce, they’re a budget-friendly way to sweeten up your snack spread.
Great Value Freedom Ice Pops
- Price: $1.87
Cool off after a parade or a day in the sun with Great Value Freedom Ice Pops — a refreshing and nostalgic summer treat that won’t leave your wallet crying.
“If you can keep them frozen, Great Value Freedom Pops are exactly that — a great value,” Ware said. “Honestly, you’ll pay under $2 for 12 of them. I remember fondly as a youngster having these frozen goodies as an after-dinner treat at family events. They are just as good today.”
These popsicles fall at just 9 cents per ounce — a pretty appetizing price for a crowd-pleasing classic.
Utz Ripples Original Potato Chips
- Price: $2.26
Watching the fireworks requires something crispy, crunchy and perfectly salty to snack on. Grab a bag of Utz Ripples Original Potato Chips for a crowd-pleasing classic that’s a little extra lighter on the budget this summer.
“Chips — you gotta have them at a party,” Ware said. “The Utz Rippled Chips were less per ounce than the name brand version, but deliver on flavor, without being super greasy. Plus, the rippled surface holds on to dips very well.”
With pricing less than name brands, they’re a simple — and equally melt-in-your-mouth — way to cut costs.
Dean’s French Onion Dip Plastic Tub
- Price: $2.62
Fourth of July wouldn’t be complete without a classic chip and dip duo and Dean’s 16-Ounce French Onion Dip is the perfect tangy, slightly sweet addition to your spread.
“Dip — you need it for the chips. Dean’s French Onion Dip was the only name-brand product we bought,” Ware said. “It’s competitively priced, creamy and full of flavor. You won’t regret buying it.”
At just 16 cents per ounce, it’s a budget-conscious dipper’s dream available at Walmart. Pair it with chips, carrots or celery for a crowd-pleasing snack.
