✝️Traditional Easter Dinner on a Budget!

Walmart Easter Dinner for less than $15

Prices based on my local Wal-Mart in western PA

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

No fuss, no fancy cooking — just fast and simple Easter dinner for 3-4.

🔥 How to Make It:

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 425

2️⃣ Prepare scallop potatoes according to package directions (the box kind works here too and will save $$)

3️⃣Place ham on one half of a sheet pan and veggies on the other half.

4️⃣ Season as desired - I prefer s/p and veggie seasoning on the asparagus and honey on the carrots

5️⃣ Bake for 15 minutes or until desired doneness

6️⃣ Plate it all up & enjoy!

*BONUS*

Have eggs already on hand? Hard boil eggs and make simple deviled eggs for an app or additional side - mayo, mustard, garlic and onion powder, paprika, and a splash of pickle juice or vinegar

If you're looking to keep your Easter dinner budget-friendly, Walmart offers a variety of ingredients that can help you create a feast without spending a fortune. For example, delicious scalloped potatoes and ham, which can be easily seasoned with your favorite spices or honey, are both economical and satisfying options. Moreover, adding in seasonal vegetables like asparagus or carrots boosts nutrition while keeping costs low. Experimenting with creating simple sides can enhance your meal; try making deviled eggs with just a few common ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, and spices. Additionally, planning your Easter meal around sales and discounts at your local stores can maximize your savings. It's essential to keep shopping smart, especially during holiday seasons when prices can vary. Overall, a traditional Easter dinner can be as festive and flavorful as you'd like, even on a limited budget. Embrace this opportunity to make treasured memories with family and friends over a meal that speaks to the spirit of the holiday.
