Walmart has deals on everything from snack items to pantry staples to fresh produce, but the best items to put in your cart are those just in time for seasonal dishes and holiday treats (particularly when you’re headed into the spooky season).
Feeling hungry? Here are the grocery items to put on your list to help you save money shopping at Walmart this October as you stock for the busy autumn season.
A rotisserie chicken is the meat that keeps on giving. Grab one for the week, and you’ll have everything from chicken salad to rotisserie chicken sandwiches to protein for fall salads.
Nothing says a fall morning like the smell of flaky, buttery biscuits in the oven. While you could make them yourself, there’s no need when you can buy a pack of biscuit dough to pop in the stove for under $3.
3. Totino's Pizza Rolls
Price: $1.97
If you’re inviting friends over to watch football this fall, then you need snacks. And there’s no snack more classic than a pizza roll. Grab a few packs of these frozen rolls to have on hand for the next time your team plays.
It’s not officially fall until you’ve had that first sip of pumpkin spice. Grab these K-cup coffee pods, and you’ll make 22 coffees for the price of just two pumpkin spice lattes at an actual Starbucks location.
5. Fresh Gala Apples
Price: $3.68
Whether you prefer to eat them raw, toss them in a pie, or bake them with a pork chop, apples are the flavor of fall. Have a bag of apples in the pantry at all times, and you’ll always have a healthy addition to your meals (remember, an apple a day keeps the doctor away!).
6. Hidden Valley Gluten Free Buffalo Ranch Dipping Sauce, Topping and Dressing
Price: $4.38
If you're tailgating this autumn, grab a bottle or two of this buffalo ranch dipping sauce. Whether you pick up chicken nuggets or go the veggie route with celery and cucumber, this sauce will be the hit of your spread.
There are two options here. You can either stock up on this pumpkin pie mix for your Thanksgiving desserts — or you can start making your first pumpkin pies of the season in October. We won’t judge.
When you’re just trying to get everyone out the door in the morning, the idea of making a hot breakfast seems impossible. Those are the days you turn to Cheerios. Easy, quick, always delicious, and on sale this month at Walmart.
9. Canada Dry Caffeine Free Ginger Ale Soda Pop
Price: $5.98
The crisp taste of ginger ale is always nostalgic, particularly in the fall. Keep it on hand for a refreshing beverage, or use it as a mixer in your autumn cocktails. Either way, paying under $6 for a 12-pack is nearly unheard of these days.
10. McCormick No Artificial Flavors 30% Less Sodium Brown Gravy Seasoning Mix
Price: $0.97
Gravy seasoning mix is the key ingredient in one of the best fall comfort foods: the Thanksgiving turkey. But it’s also great to have on hand for everything from a roast beef sandwich to a rotisserie chicken.
If you can’t hold out until Halloween, go ahead and treat yourself to a jumbo-size bag of snack-size Reese’s peanut butter cups. This classic trick-or-treat candy still tastes like childhood — and it’s just as good as you remember.
12. Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Apple & Cinnamon
Price: $2.87
Oatmeal is a hearty, filling breakfast that becomes even more appealing as the temperatures start to drop. Of course, there’s no easier way to get it than via these easy packets, particularly when they’re on sale.
It’s chili season, and that means it’s time to stock up on all types of canned tomatoes. Crushed tomatoes are a favorite for those who like a tomato-based chili, and this is a great price on the name brand version.
14. Great Value Pecan Halves
Price: $9.97
A good fall salad usually incorporates nuts, and pecans are a favorite of the season. Try them chopped with spinach and blue cheese, or candy them with a bit of brown sugar and butter for an even more delicious salad treat.
15. Libby's 100% Pure Canned Whole Pumpkin Mix All Natural No Preservatives
Price: $2.22
Get ready for a season of pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, and everything in between. Grab a few cans of whole pumpkin to have in the pantry, and you’ll always have what you need to whip up a delicious dessert.
Bottom line
One of the best ways to save money on groceries at Walmart is to download the app. You can find deals, check prices, and even schedule a grocery pick-up.
It makes it super easy to get what you need at the right price — something Walmart already offers, and that gets even better when you have technology at your fingertips.
Money tips that can work for everyone
No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.
Focus on paying off your debt. Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.
Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.
Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
