Walmart’s $40 New Year’s Dinner for 10: Giveaway

Just when you start to get the toys put away, your house re-organized and your home cleaned after the Holiday parties, you start to look at the credit card damage “Santa” created on your behalf.  As we look forward to the year 2010, one of my New Year Resolutions will be to save money for a family vacation this Summer.

Walmart has long been known for “rolling back prices,” but I was stunned to learn that I could create an entire New Year’s Day meal for 10 people under $40!   Check out Walmart’s Holiday Meals website to learn about recipes created by Food Network star Aarón Sánchez to go with Walmart’s affordable holiday menu to help families create a delicious Christmas or New Year’s celebration on a budget.

Want to create a party your friends and family won’t forget and save money, too?  Chef Aarón Sánchez has tips for turning a New Year’s party into an extra-special affair to remember. Using standard party ingredients, such as cocktail shrimp, a veggie platter, and crescent rolls, Chef Aarón created a party-ready fiesta spread for 10 for as low as $40! It includes:

Shrimp Tray (5 servings)
Vegetable Tray (10 servings)
Hillshire Farms Little Smokies (8 servings)
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (6 servings)
Land O’Lakes Egg Nog (8 servings)
Red Velvet cake

Sound good?  Print the tips, tricks and recipes from Walmart’s Holiday Meals site and head to your local Walmart to stock up on everything you need to make your party a success!
