Kroger has introduced Easter meals priced at $6 per person, offering a budget-friendly holiday menu for gatherings. Available from April 7, 2025, the meal includes spiral ham, sides, and dessert, designed to serve traditional favorites without exceeding $6 per guest. The retailer emphasizes affordability through its private-label products and digital coupons.
The Easter meal bundle features items like macaroni and cheese, garden salad, and bakery pies, with additional DIY recipe ideas on Kroger’s blog, The Fresh Lane.
Customers can order online via Kroger Pickup, Delivery, or in-store, with no price differences between shopping methods. The promotion coincides with Kroger’s broader spring savings initiatives, including over $600 in weekly digital coupons.
