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 don't eat big portions and just cant see this making 39 meals. Maybe 21 meals.
Even if you are not on an "extreme budget," you can still get some good meal ideas, especially if you are someone with limited time or limited cooking skills. The beauty of these kinds of meals is that you can easily sub in whatever you have kicking around.
39 whole meals???
What a great video! I have a (stupid) question though, what are the portion sizes for each meal? For some of the recipes you use a cup of rice or half a pound of pasta/meat to make 6-7 meals, but that would be around 30-40grams of rice/pasta/meat per meal. To me that sounds like very little. Am I miscalculating or misinterpreting something?
You got to be the sweetest lady on the internet!!
I guess me and my spouse eat too much bc each of these recipes would be one meal for each of us lol
