"Mayo" is a shorter way to say mayonnaise, a creamy condiment made by emulsifying oil with an emulsifier (often egg yolk) plus vinegar or lemon juice and seasonings. It’s popular as a spread, dip base, and binder in many recipes.

• Texture: Smooth and spreadable for easy layering.
• Flavor: Mild and slightly tangy, so it plays well with other ingredients.
• Common uses: Sandwiches, potato or pasta salads, coleslaw, dips, and sauces.

On Walmart, you’ll see a range of mayo styles and flavors, so you can choose what best fits your taste and the dishes you make most.

Both packages work well; the right pick depends on how you use mayo most often.

• Squeeze bottles: Handy for neat, quick sandwiches and topping burgers or wraps. They can offer better portion control and less mess on busy days.
• Jars: Convenient for measuring by the spoonful and mixing into salads, dips, or sauces in a bowl. They’re useful if you cook and batch-prep.
• Capacity and space: Squeeze bottles often fit well in door shelves; jars may take more shelf space.
• Shopping tip: On Walmart, you can filter by package type and size, then choose pickup or delivery for convenience.

Always follow the storage instructions on the package after opening.

These mayo styles vary in taste, texture, and how they fit into different dishes.

• Classic: Rich, creamy, and full-bodied. Great for sandwiches, dressings, and sturdy salads where you want a pronounced, traditional mayo taste.
• Light or reduced fat: Typically milder with a lighter texture. It can be useful when you prefer a subtler flavor in spreads or salads.
• Made with avocado or olive oil: Uses different oils for distinct flavor notes. Some people like these for aioli-style spreads, marinades, or dips.
• Flavored varieties: Options like spicy or citrus add quick, built-in seasoning.

Use Walmart’s category filters (like Condiments or Dietary & Lifestyle) to narrow to the style that fits your taste and recipes.

Proper storage helps maintain quality and flavor.

• Refrigerate after opening: Most mayo labels recommend refrigeration. Check and follow your jar or bottle’s instructions.
• Keep it sealed: Close the cap or lid tightly to limit exposure to air.
• Mind utensils: Use a clean, dry spoon or knife when scooping from a jar. Avoid double-dipping.
• Care for squeeze tips: Wipe the nozzle if needed so it stays clean.
• Avoid temperature extremes: Don’t freeze mayo, and try not to leave it out for long periods.
• Check dates and appearance: Look at the “best by” date and your senses; if the product smells or looks off, consider replacing it.

Pick a size that matches how often you use mayo and how you cook.

• Occasional use or small households: Smaller bottles or jars can help reduce waste.
• Frequent use or family meals: Larger, family-size options can be practical for regular sandwiches, salads, and dips.
• Recipe planning: If you’re making big-batch salads or party dips, consider upsizing so you have enough on hand.
• Storage space: Choose packaging that fits your fridge layout comfortably.
• Shopping tip: Use Walmart’s size filters to compare options, then choose pickup or delivery for an easy restock.

When in doubt, start smaller and size up once you know your household’s pace.
