It used to be common for people to line up and camp outside stores on Thanksgiving night to get the best Black Friday deals, but that trend has definitely shifted significantly in recent years.

With more and more people shopping online, the big rush to go shopping in-store isn't as popular as it used to be.

You can pretty much get all the same deals without having to leave your house and it's nice for employees to have the day off to spend with loved ones.

Here’s Why Walmart Stores in New Jersey Are Closing for the Day

It's the 5th year in a row now Walmart will be closed on Thanksgiving so employees can spend the day with their families.

According to a recent statement from Walmart, they're offering inflation-free holiday meals earlier this year to help people save money.

Now through December 25th, in stores and online, you can save big on all the essentials to make your Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner more affordable.

"Walmart’s holiday meal offering serves up to 10 people and includes 28 customer favorites – everything from turkey (under $1/lb.!) and trimmings to dessert – for an incredible value of less than $7 per person."

$7 per person!

Now that's some serious savings!
