Wal-Mart deli trays?

[WDWAurora]

Has anyone used Wal-mart for a deli tray? Due to current craziness (I'm 6mos pregnant, we're moving in less than 2 weeks, DH packing everything in the kitchen except the food and some paper plates 2 weeks ago, etc.), we are doing a deli tray, rolls, fruit, a salad, and chips/dip for DS's 2nd birthday. Not my typical plan, but it's what I can manage this year.

Wal-mart's tray is $20 cheaper than Lowe's Food, and $25 cheaper than Harris Teeter. I'm just trying to figure out if the quality is at all ok. We can pay $6 and upgrade to their "premium" tray, which I can see possibly being worth it, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort to try to call them. I haven't ever bought cold cuts from the deli there at all, so...

Any opinions? Definitely trying to keep this party on a budget with all the moving expenses coming up! I know we could do cheaper food, but without any kitchen supplies...This is what I can handle.

Well I have never ordered a party tray from Walmart but we order their fried chicken from the deli for almost every party and its great! You get 50 pcs of chicken for 35.00 and I think thats a pretty good deal and its really good!

We order deli trays for after our Sunday School Christmas program and they are very good and there is a ton of food. One of the best values is the one with the cubes of meat and cheese. These are great with a big salad nearby and actually they're very tasty on their own. The fried chicken, at least at our store, is awful. Overcooked and not much meat on the bones. But I definitely recommend the cold deli trays!!

Our Sams club has a sandwich ring which feeds 16 -18 and its $20 and we like them. We have had them on several occasions. I think you will be just fine. Think of it this way it all boils down to slices of lunchmeat. How can you go wrong with lunchmeat. Right! Plus it simple for you. Your guest will get to create their our sandwiches. Their,(walmart) cakes are good to. May as well make it one stop for all your party stuff.. Have fun.

Not the tray, but we have done the big sandwich from there a time or two. Super convenient and pretty good quality.
