    Hi everyone! My last post on $10 Walmart Budget Meals received a lot of positive feedback, so I’m excited to share more! I’ve planned enough meals for the next 4 weeks and will aim to post one each week until they’re all shared. [Link to Week 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/budgetfood/comments/1f7ldft/comment/ll849d7/)

    Here’s my goal, from the previous post:

    >My goal of creating this list was so that anyone could walk into Walmart with $10 and some change, and come out with enough ingredients for a healthy, tasty, and balanced meal enough to feed a family of 4. All of these recipes are fairly simple to cook and require no special appliances beyond what can be found in an average American home.

    New Notes:

    * Prices are adjusted for September 2024. It may be different depending on your exact location, but it should be consistent for most people. 
    * The cost of certain ingredients, such as onions and zucchini, vary based on weight. Walmart estimates the average cost for a yellow onion is $0.91 which is around ~0.8 lbs. Your exact total may be more or less than this. 
    * I added cooking instructions at the bottom. (Sorry for the tiny text!) I recommend using these only as reference points and making adjustments as needed!

    You don’t happen to have any of this on Facebook do you? The reason I ask is I’m in a group with a lot of senior citizens, most of whom live on very low incomes. What to do for meals comes up pretty often and this information would be so helpful for them.

    If you don’t have it on Facebook, would you be OK with me getting snaps of it and sharing it in the group?

    Wow! Makes me wish for half a second that I live in the states. Those prices are half of our above the border. Maybe it is worth it for the trip and xchange.
