As one of the most economical grocery chains in the U.S., Walmart is a great place to shop for food and household staples. And despite its inherent affordability, the chain routinely offers deals to shoppers. This October, Walmart customers will find price cuts on all sorts of foods, from Halloween treats and sweets to bulk snacks and inexpensive dinner options. We're highlighting the best finds and included links to each product for easy ordering (though pricing and availability may vary by location). 

Walmart is able to maintain low prices due to its budget-minded operational model, as well as its dominance of the retail market, which gives it an edge with suppliers when negotiating costs. That means name brand items at Walmart are often more affordable than other grocery stores. The chain also has several private brands, including Great Value, which are less expensive than big name competitors. Along with these affordable finds, here are the best items new to Walmart this October to round out your shopping list.

Outside of the reduced price, all you need to know about this 40-count variety pack is a customer review dubbed it, "A big box with lots of crunchy goodness." You get eight snack varieties, including barbecue chips, crunchy cheese curls, and ranch flavored tortilla chips.
