As the NFL Playoffs get into full swing, all the football parties are on the calendar. From the first round to the Big Game in February, all the gridiron action deserves a hearty food spread. Luckily, Walmart’s Game Day meal basket is the winner for any and every football fan.
Food costs continue to be a concern for most consumers. Over the past year, Walmart has made a conscious effort to create meal bundles for various occasions. While there were always Rollback prices across the aisles, these curated packages simplify the process for shoppers.
The new Walmart Game Day meal basket has 13 different items. It is designed to feed a group of eight and is priced at $8/person. The special offer is available through February 8, 2025.
The Walmart Game Day meal basket includes:
Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies, 10 oz

Looking at this list, it has all the popular football party foods. Chips, dips, heavy appetizers, chicken wings are all included at a reasonable price.
One thing that host might want to add is a vegetarian friendly food choice. While there are dips and chips, some vegetables or plant-based food option would make the menu more inclusive. It is curious that Walmart did not think to include one of those items in its bundle.
Also, Walmart did not include pizza, but a few bettergoods pizzas would be a good choice to add to the list. The flavors are elevated, yet the price is cost effective. For larger parties, a few pizzas with all the other food items would make for a well-rounded party spread.
