Walmart Meal Plan for a Family of 4 ($91)- Week 12
This week is all about new and exciting twists on great dinners. We are going to have pizza, Buffalo Chicken, Pesto Chicken, and 2 different kinds of Egg Rolls.
Now before anyone asks, I may have gone a little overboard on the cheese, but I really love cheese and you can always lessen the amounts if you are not a big fan of it. Don’t forget the cheese adds lots of protein and flavor to all kinds of dishes.
We always strive to be under our $100 grocery budget goal, and I am happy to say we came out to $90.96 at the Super Walmart in Chicago, Illinois.
Meal Plan Overview
Walmart Grocery List
I’ve included some visuals of some of items. These may be ones that you are not familiar with if you don’t shop regularly at Walmart.
Daily Plan with Recipes
I have broken down this meal plan into daily menus. This is just to give you an idea of how I would make this work. You do not have to do it this way, you can easily move the days and dishes around to suit your family.
I have noted on day one, that an easy way to prep ahead, would be to go ahead and bake all your chicken breasts in the oven. This will cut down your cooking time for most of the dinners this week!
Where is Day 7?
I purposely leave Day 7 as leftovers all day long, because this is a great way to eliminate food waste. In the US, we have a bad habit of throwing away food and it gets worse every year.
Day 7 typically falls on a Saturday at my house, so we make it a challenge to use up all leftover items in our fridge before we buy groceries for the upcoming week. I challenge you to do the same!
Free Printable PDF
So many people have told me that they like to have a physical copy of the meal plan, so we now offer a totally free PDF that you can save or print at home. We make this in black and white to cut down on ink costs.
I have switched this up to be vertical instead of horizontal. Let me know if you have a preference!
We checked out prices at other Chicago, IL area grocery stores, and Walmart did come out the cheapest with a total of $90.96. Here are the totals for the same grocery list at other local stores:
