I turned a $22 grocery haul into 39 filling, realistic meals—and you can too. 💛 When your grocery money is running low, it’s easy to feel stuck. In this video, I’m sharing 6 ultra-budget one-pan meals I made using just $21.90 of ingredients from Walmart. These meals are simple, comforting, and actually taste good—even when money is tight. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, these recipes are for you. I bought all the ingredients at my local Walmart in Utah—just $21.90 total before tax. That’s 6 meals × 6+ servings each = 39 single servings!
If this video helps you—or someone you love—please consider sharing it. And if you’re in a tough spot, don’t hesitate to reach out to local food banks, churches, or community support programs. If you’re in a position to give, even a small donation to a local pantry can make a real difference 💙 Thank you so much for all of the support 🌼

I love your ideas but I just can't get behind buying food from Walmart.
did the total come out to $20 for everything?
idk where you are but those prices are cheap compared to Tennessee
Black bean pasta was our favorite!
Thank you again Julia!! ❤❤❤
Although I'm on a restricted diet and not able to eat some of this it looks delicious and is probably a big help to those on a restricted budget. Videos and recipes like this are always helpful for people that just need a change on their menu without breaking the bank. Thanks.
Trump's America making these sort of trips usual.
5:22 "Add in a teaspoon of Italian seasoning" Adds two tablespoons 🤣🤣
As a Nicaraguan, a lot of our meals are very cost-conscious. If you feel "adventurous", I highly suggest looking up and making Nicaraguan Gallopinto, Nicaraguan Arroz a la Valenciana, Nicaraguan repocheta, Nicaraguan guiso de papa or pipian, and all meals can be accompanied by Nicaraguan red silk beans; fried, scrambled, or boiled eggs; maduro (sweet plantains fried or boiled. No need for packaged foods, these are very simple meals. I'd be happy to give more info for anyone interested 🙂
