We’re always on the hunt for air fryer favorites, and this frozen, 12-ounce bag of the famous Southern staple is an out-of-the-box surprise.

With 130 calories, 3 grams of protein, and 2 grams of fiber per serving, it’s fairly healthy, too. Satisfied customers enjoy the ease of preparation and value.

Macaroni & Cheese Thick & Creamy

Bottom line

Not only can you save money on groceries at Walmart, but you can also score some pretty great deals this October. From household essentials to fall flavors, Great Value truly has some winning products.

Walmart often has brand names for lower prices than competing stores as well in case you do have loyalty to some products. But you should try the house brand at least once.
