7 Low Budget Summer Meals for $70 (Week #30)
Sometimes I have so many meal ideas it is hard to pick just 6 dinners, so this week we are doing 7 family dinners for $70! We are also sticking to our theme of low-effort and no oven meals.
There is a nice mix of different veggies and proteins, as well as branching out to some new flavors. All while staying on a small budget too!
This week we are shopping in Fargo, North Dakota and our total came out to $69.08 (just under $70). Keep in mind that you may already have some of these items at home, so it could be very easy to get your total lower than mine!
We updated this menu in June 2026, and the new total is $74.30. Yes, it went up, but if you already have some basics like BBQ sauce, white rice, or chicken broth, you could easily get your total under $70!
Walmart Family Meal Plan
Grocery List
If you want to see the full shopping list on Walmart in your area, all you have to do is click my Walmart Grocery list and change the zip code to your area. *This is an affiliate link, and I do make a small commission on any purchases, but at no additional cost to you!*
**** Please note, that every once in a while, an item that I pick turns out to be regional. This means that it may be a much higher price in some areas. Always double check the list and if you see an item that is much higher than normal, just adjust as needed.
Low Effort No Oven Meals
Each of these meals could easily serve 4-8 people depending on appetite. So, if you are a family of four, you could have plenty of leftovers the next day for lunches.
