With the Holidays quickly here and the economy making money tight for all, Wal-Mart has shown shoppers how to plan their Christmas meal for eight for as little as $30.
Chef Aaron Sanchez, co-host of Food Network’s, Chefs vs. City, has teamed up with Wal-Mart to create easy and affordable recipes for entertaining your guests this season. With options to create a Christmas meal for 8 at the price as little as $20 and a New Year’s meal for 10 for under $40, who could say no? 
Walmart’s $30 Christmas feast for eight starts with family-favorite ingredients, including*:
- One 10-pound spiral cut half-ham
- Three 8-ounce cans Del Monte Green Beans
- One 10-pound bag of Russet potatoes
- One 12-count package of Sara Lee dinner rolls
- One 10 inch Pumpkin Pie
I’ve been trying to learn new recipes and I have to say, with ideas like Chipotle Mashed Potatoes and Creamed Corn Gratin, I would love to share these with my family.
Saving money with the Holidays is always a big deal. From Christmas toy shopping to entertaining guests, things can be expensive so shopping at Wal-Mart for your meal is just one way to help save money.

The Mexican shrimp cocktail sounds interesting.
I save money during the holidays by shopping at Walmart and Amazon.com. I think those 2 places seem to have the lowest prices.
Coquito (Puerto Rican style egg nog) sounds yummy!
This holiday season we saved money by baking cookies instead of buying gifts.

I commented on the Latch Mommy Must Read article. Buckle and latch the little ones up properly, they are too precious to not spend the extra time on.
I would love to try the sausage stuffed mushrooms
