Walmart has brand-names under $50

TL;DR: Get a new air fryer and make healthier cooking fast and easy — Walmart has plenty on sale right now for under $50, including top brands like Farberware and Hamilton Beach.

The holidays may be over, but there are still plenty of opportunities to have a party. The playoffs are here and the big game is around the corner. Plus, awards season has begun and that’s a lot of red carpet snark on your horizon. Which means plenty of fried foods to stuff in your face while you watch all the action unfold. There goes your New Year’s resolution to eat healthier, no biggie. 

Here’s an idea: Why not use an air fryer instead to cook up those guilty pleasure foods, like wings, fries, taquitos and such? These easy-to-use countertop appliances are perfect for making all the delicious snacks you love just a wee bit healthier, which means you can eat more during half time and not feel guilty at all. That’s the story and you’re sticking to it. 

Air fryers use little to no oil for cooking, instead utilizing a convection process that circulates hot air around the food at high speed. This gives all the crispiness and crunch of a normal fry, but without all the added grease, and in less time. Is it any wonder that they are quickly becoming the latest must-have kitchen gadget? 

Right now you can find top brand air fryers for under $50 at Walmart — like the 3.2-quart Farberware for only $49 (normally $69), or the 2.5-liter Hamilton Beach at just $45.99 ($53 off the regular price of $99).  You can even go bigger and save 43% on the Power Air Fryer Elite 5.5-quart 6-in-1 (with a cake pan included), normally $97 down to $49.99.

So get cracking on all those delicious snacks and apps for your guests — jalapeno poppers, pizza rolls, gourmet mac ‘n cheese balls (the ones with the fancy cheese, because it’s a party), or those veggie tempura sticks — because no New Year’s resolution is going to hold you back from fun. Not this time.
