Realistic Low Effort Summer Meal Plan for under $60 (Week #24)

This week, I had a few requests sent to me about the menu so let’s see if we can hit them all! Here are the messages I got:

• Less Dairy (not dairy free but just less cheese)
• Use the 3-3-2-2-1 method
• No Oven and low effort meals
• More Pantry Staples!!!

I have to admit that I am a huge cheese lover so that one was a little tough. If you want to check out the 3-3-2-2-1 method, you can see this post with the free PDF.

I had already mentioned that we will not be using the oven this summer, but we went super low effort this week! This means we also used a lot of pantry staples too!

$60 Walmart Meal Plan

Grocery List

As you can see, our total was only $58.05 at the Walmart in Joplin, Missouri this week. You can easily get this lower by checking your pantry first before heading to the store. Already have ranch dressing, chili seasoning, and pickles? Well cross them off!

Yummy Meals this Week

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.
