Walmart, Amazon offer 'Game Day' discount meals
As the Super Bowl approaches, Walmart and Amazon are offering budget options to host sports fans in your home.
Walmart and Amazon are both providing sports fans with specially discounted “Game Day” meal promotions featuring tailgate menu favorites. By coincidence or otherwise, both retailers are running these discount specials through Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025 (which happens to be Super Bowl Sunday).
Following are highlights of each retailer’s "Game Day" extravaganza:

Walmart’s "Game Day" discount meal offering follows two previous seasonal baskets. One was a holiday meal the retailer called "one last gift" from its food team featuring ham, sides and two dessert options that could serve up to 12 people for under $5 per person.
Before that, Walmart offered a discounted Thanksgiving meal, including turkey, trimmings and desserts, designed to serve eight people for less than $7 per person. Walmart has offered a budget-priced Thanksgiving meal for eight years.
