Trump Highlights Walmart Thanksgiving Deal
President Donald Trump recently used Walmart's Thanksgiving meal bundle to argue that grocery prices have dropped. Walmart advertised a 25% price reduction on their 2025 Thanksgiving bundle compared to last year, with the package priced under $40.
Key Details About the Bundle
However, this year's bundle contains fewer items than in 2024. Walmart's 2025 bundle offers 15 items, down from 21 last year. Counting each can or separate item, there are 22 items in 2025 versus 29 in 2024.
The missing items include onions, celery, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, poultry seasoning, muffin mix, marshmallows, whipped topping, and pecan pie. Additionally, more items in the 2025 bundle come from Walmart's Great Value store brand.
Trump's Statement
“Grocery prices are way down, and Walmart just announced that the cost of their standard Thanksgiving meal — this is the greatest, their greatest,” Trump said at the American Business Forum on Wednesday. “It is 25% lower than one year ago. That’s a big deal.”
Market and Consumer Context
- Walmart's price cut reflects a promotional adjustment, not a simple across-the-board price drop.
- The reduction in bundle items means consumers are getting fewer products despite the lower price.
Summary
The Walmart Thanksgiving meal bundle’s lower price in 2025 results partly from fewer included items, a detail President Trump omitted while highlighting reduced grocery costs.
