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 🌼

  1. I know having no money. Biggest saving tip: Oatmeal or no meal for breakfast. With a little suger, milk, it's still absolutely inexpensive and still nutritious. If you can afford add 1 banana or half an apple, also inexpensive in most countries.
    Prep it in a bowl in the mikrowave, less cleaning, less energy use.
    If by all means you don't like oats, use grits.

  5. I'm watching this video from Canada and it's shocking to see the price differences even with exchange rates. Where I live is really rural and very expensive . Pasta sauce is $2.25 for great value brand, hunts may go on sale for $2.50 sometimes. A gallon of milk is $8 , a gallon of chocolate milk is $11. A pound of butter is $7-9 depending on brand. A bag of shredded cheese less than 1 lb is $6-8 . We also can't get the frozen ground turkey rolls . We can get fresh but 1 lb of that is $7 or $8 depending on store

  6. Anyone using canned chicken if you heat it up in a frying pan and season it with garlic, Italian seasoning and some salt and pepper (trying to stay within what she is using, I would use way more) then add it to your sauce. It will taste so much better. I don't know about other but canned chicken just has that taste I am not a fan of unless I do this no matter the sauce I add it to. It brings it back to life.
