If you’re looking to save a few pennies on your grocery run (aren’t we all?), pick up a tube of Great Value Buttermilk Biscuits at Walmart. These sell for about half the price of the competitors.
So what do you get when you pop open a can of Great Value biscuits? “A very round and golden biscuit,” according to Sarah.
While these Walmart-exclusive biscuits lacked flaky layers like other biscuit brands, our team still found these to be very satisfying. “The outside is thin with a good crunch to it,” explains Sarah. This crispy exterior contains a soft, tender inside that’s flavored with a bit of butter and a very slight sweetness.
No, these won’t pass for homemade, but our team is certain you won’t have any leftovers when you serve these up to a hungry dinner crowd.

While canned biscuits may be the most common store-bought biscuit, Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. Buttermilk Biscuits encourage you to take a stroll down the frozen aisle.
These Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. biscuits were unlike any other kind we tried. The second our team removed them from the box, they looked different: less uniform and akin to something homemade.
And the flavors were more from-scratch as well. According to Josh Rink in the Test Kitchen, “This brand feels like it uses real ingredients like a homemade biscuit.” And Josh is right: Flour, buttermilk, butter, milk, sugar, baking powder and salt are the only ingredients Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. uses. Those are the same ingredients you’ll find in this top-rated buttermilk biscuit recipe.
Those ingredients are all very prominent when you take a bite of one of these petite biscuits. You get buttermilk and butter—the two ingredients that make these baked goods so hard to resist!
Before you pick up a box, know that these biscuits aren’t going to give you that canned biscuit texture or size. These biscuits are smaller and denser and not appropriate to use in a recipe that calls for their canned counterparts. Instead, a box of these is just right to serve up alongside your favorite soup or even with sausage gravy for a hearty breakfast.
And we won’t tell if you try to pass off a package of these biscuits as homemade when you’re short on time! You don’t even need to defrost these before popping them in the oven.
