It’s a great feeling after you file your taxes to learn you’ll be getting some of your hard-earned money back in the form of a refund. While it was always your money to begin with, that lump sum can be incredibly helpful for a lot of Americans.
Since groceries are among the items that have increased in price the most over the past few years of high inflation, this year, consider putting your tax refund toward groceries that will go the furthest and last the longest for a great price at Walmart.
Before you get your refund check, plan ahead. Here are seven of the best grocery deals to spend your refund on.
Great Value 100% Pure Beef Burgers
Walmart’s Great Value brand of frozen burger patties lives up to its name with this 3-pound bag of 100% pure beef burgers. You’ll be happy to put some refund money toward this meat, which is 85% lean and 15% fat, and easy to thaw for a night of burgers on the grill, stovetop or for a hamburger-helper style pasta dish at any time. You won’t have to worry about waste, either, as they’ll store in the freezer for much longer than if they were fresh. You get 12 burger patties for just $13.97, which is less than the price of two fast food burgers at some establishments.
King’s Original Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls
Feel like you’re splurging on these King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet dinner rolls, a richly tasty combo of sweet and savory, not to mention fluffy, for only $4.68 for 12 rolls. These rolls pair perfectly with almost any meal or can almost be dessert-like with a layer of jam or Nutella. Warm them up or eat them at room temperature. Either way, you’ll taste money well spent.
Fresh Whole Russet Potatoes
If there is a vegetable more versatile than the potato, it’s hard to imagine. Baked, mashed, French fried, sliced, hashed, roasted, scalloped and more, potatoes are a staple food at any time of year. Not only are they tasty, they’re quite nutritious, packed with protein, carbs and vitamin C. This 5-pound bag of whole russet potatoes will keep well in a cool place and bring you potato joy for months to come. It costs $3.54.
Great Value Frozen Broccoli Florets
While not the most exciting food choice, broccoli is one of the healthiest, and making it palatable to kids or other family who are wary is not difficult with a handful of tasty spices, butter and a good oven. This 12-ounce bag of broccoli florets comes frozen, which is ideal for keeping it longer, but once it thaws, throw it on an oven rack for crispy roasting or toss it into a sautéed veggie medley and you’ll feel good about spending your refund money on yours or your family’s health. For just $1.16, this is money very well spent.
Maruchan Ramen Noodle Chicken Flavor Soup
Ramen noodles may not be at the top of your most nutritious foods list, but they’re an excellent option for anyone who needs a quick, filling meal that takes very little effort to prepare and lasts on the shelf for a long time. Even teens can make themselves a meal with ease. You can get 12 3-ounce packages of Maruchan’s ramen noodle soup in chicken flavor for less that an actual bowl of soup would cost out at a restaurant, $3.28.
Great Value Fully Cooked Chicken Nuggets
Another truly great value you’ll be happy to put refund money toward is this Great Value brand 32-ounce package of cooked, frozen chicken nuggets. Made with boneless chicken meat and breaded with tasty seasonings, each serving offers 11 grams of protein in an easy to prepare package. Whether you microwave them, stick them in the oven or pop into the air fryer, you’ll find these go-to bites great for a meal or a snack at any time. This bag is just $5.97.
Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles
Frozen is the way to go to stretch your food and your tax refund dollars. As either the main course or a side dish, this 12-ounce bag of Reames Homestyle egg noodles will satisfy picky eaters and go down smooth. For just $3.38 you can make the pasta lovers in your home happy and limit prep and cooking time.
