Overview
- Walmart's 2025 Easter meal kit, priced at $43, serves eight people and includes nine items such as ham, potatoes, and dinner rolls but omits eggs.
- Eggs were excluded from this year's kit due to their high prices and shortages caused by an avian flu outbreak that has decimated poultry flocks since 2022.
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts egg prices will decline later in 2025, though not in time for Easter, with current prices averaging $5.90 per dozen as of February.
- Walmart has avoided imposing broad in-store purchase limits on eggs, though online purchases of 60-count cartons are capped at six per customer.
- The retailer's grocery revenue increased earlier this year, partially attributed to inflation-driven higher egg prices.
