Walmart’s New $50 Game Day ‘Baskets’ Can Feed at Least 8 — With Leftovers to Spare

Walmart wants to make your game day prep way, way easier. 

In September, the Arkansas-based megastore announced the addition of its curated one-click Game Day Baskets, each meant to make tailgating or watch parties at home easier and more affordable. Two of them — the Watch Party Basket and the Tailgating Spread Basket — can each feed at least eight people for less than $50. While the Clean Up Basket has everything you need to put everything back in order when the party’s over.

Walmart also noted that those looking to add adult beverages — including beer, wine, spirits, and pre-mixed cocktails — to their order can do so via its pickup and delivery services in select states. This way, you don’t need to leave your house and miss any of the game (or any of the fantastic commercials) throughout the season.

Read on to see what you get in each bundle.

According to Walmart, this basket allows you to have enough food and drinks to host a watch party or tailgate for eight people for under $50. “This full feast for 8 people includes pizza, wings, chips and dips, soda, and more for less than $7 per person,” Walmart explained. “It’s perfect for hosting the ultimate game day watch party at home.” To get a bit more specific, the basket includes products from its Great Value line, along with Farm Rich Breaded Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, and 1.25-liter Coca-Cola. 

The Tailgating Basket, Walmart explained, is “perfect for fans who love the pre-game parking lot experience, the Tailgating Basket includes everything needed for a successful tailgate including hot dogs, chips and more for less than $50.” This basket comes with plenty of brand-name goodies, including Oscar Mayer Classic Beef Franks Hot Dogs, Nature’s Own Perfectly Crafted Brioche Style Hot Dog Buns, Great Value ketchup and mustard, Vlasic Kosher Sweet Pickle Relish, Bush’s Baked Beans, Lay’s chips, and Dr Pepper. 

Last on the list is Walmart’s Clean Up Basket, which it says, “makes post-game cleanup a breeze with trash bags, disposable plates and cutlery, ensuring hosts can enjoy the game without worrying about the aftermath.” The goodies include stacks of 50 cups, a 48-count cutlery, and a 50-count of plates, making it possible to host a rather massive bash.
