Wal-Mart Meals Under $15

Prices based on my local Wal-Mart in western PA

All meals are priced with gluten-free items - meals will work with regular items also making total prices lower

I don't count basic essentials like eggs, milk, or spices towards total price.

Sloppy Joe Boats - bake texas toast according to package directions. while toast is baking - brown meat, then add sauce and simmer. when toast is done, push centers of the slices down to form a divet. add meat mixture to toast, then top with cheese. place back in the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt cheese. serve with corn on the side (or fav veg)

Sausage Pasta - cut sausage into bite sizes. over medium/high heat, saute sausage, and 1 cup of diced onions. season with garlic powder. add can of chicken broth, can of rotel, 1/2 cup milk, and half box of pasta. cover and cook for 15 minutes or until pasta is done. when done, add in 2 handfuls of chopped spinach and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. stir and add additional cheese on top.

Chicken Unkabob - slice red onion. spread everything onto a sheet pan, season, and coat with bbq sauce. Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes (or until chicken is done) top with additional bbq sauce if desired.

*any gluten free items may not be suitable for those with celiac or other specific allergies to wheat/gluten

Eating on a budget doesn't mean sacrificing quality or taste. In this article, we highlight three delightful meal ideas that can feed your family for under $15, all sourced from Wal-Mart in western Pennsylvania. 1. **Sloppy Joe Boats**: This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner. Start by baking Texas toast according to package instructions. Brown your meat and mix in your favorite Sloppy Joe sauce, then fill the toast with the mixture and top it with cheese before melting it in the oven. Pair with corn for a complete meal. 2. **Sausage Pasta**: A hearty dish that your family will love! Sauté diced sausage and onions, then add chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and pasta. Cook until the pasta is tender, fold in fresh spinach, and top with cheese for a nutritious and fulfilling meal. 3. **Chicken Unkabob**: This is an easy sheet pan meal that makes cleanup a breeze. Simply chop the chicken and veggies, season them well, and roast them in a BBQ sauce glaze. Serve hot with your favorite sides for a crowd-pleasing meal. All these meals can be made gluten-free without losing any flavor, and they utilize common ingredients from your local Wal-Mart, ensuring that you stick to your budget while enjoying tasty meals.
