If you bake even occasionally, here’s a deal worth snagging before it disappears: Walmart has the 9” Anchor Hocking Essentials Glass Pie Plate [AFFILIATE:walmart] for just $3.68, with free store pickup available at select locations.
That’s less than a slice of pie at most diners — and this plate will help you make dozens of them.
Why This Deal Is Worth Your Attention
Anchor Hocking is a name that belongs in any honest conversation about reliable American kitchenware. Their glass pie plates are a staple in Southern kitchens for good reason: glass distributes heat evenly, so your crust bakes through without scorching at the edges. You can also see the bottom of the crust browning through the glass — no guesswork involved. The plate handles the freezer-to-oven transition without cracking, and cleanup is easy since glass doesn’t cling to fillings the way disposable aluminum pans do.
At most major retailers, a comparable glass pie plate runs $8 to $15. Finding one from a brand like Anchor Hocking for under $4 is genuinely unusual.
Who Should Grab This
This deal is an easy yes for a few different situations:
- Home bakers who need a spare. Peach and blueberry season is ramping up across the South right now. If you’re bringing pies to potlucks and family gatherings all summer, having a backup plate means you can send one home with the host without worrying about tracking it down later.
- New cooks or first apartments. At $3.68, this is the kind of foundational kitchen piece you grab without overthinking it.
- Hostess gift builders. Tuck this into a gift basket with a pie recipe card and you’ve got something that feels thoughtful on a very small budget.
- Anyone doing a lot of freezer-meal prep. Glass handles the freezer-to-oven shift better than metal, and this standard 9-inch size fits virtually every classic recipe.
A Few Things to Know
Free store pickup is available at select Walmart locations — worth checking your local store’s inventory before assuming it’s on the shelf. If your store doesn’t have stock, the free pickup option may not appear at checkout. Walmart bakeware pricing at this level tends to move fast, so don’t sit on this one if you want it.
No coupon or promo code required — this is the straight listed price. The deal includes one 9-inch glass pie plate.
How It Compares
Similar 9-inch glass pie plates from other brands at major retailers typically run $8 to $12. Even generic store-brand options at grocery chains often land at $6 to $8. This is one of those rare cases where the name-brand option is actually the cheapest one going.
The Bottom Line
If you bake pies — or plan to this summer — pick up the Anchor Hocking 9” Glass Pie Plate at Walmart [AFFILIATE:walmart] for $3.68 with free store pickup. It’s a workhorse piece of bakeware at a price that’s genuinely hard to justify skipping.
