5 Easy Walmart Meals For $5: Extreme Grocery Budget Challenge

I've got six eggs, a 12-ounce pack of sweet peas, one bag of Alfredo pasta sauce, a bag of yellow rice, a tomato, an onion, one head of garlic, and one potato.

I will also use salt and pepper, a bit of margarine, and some green onions for garnish.

I started by making up my rice according to the back of the package, and I made up the noodles as well. According to the back of the package, the only thing that I changed is instead of putting milk in, I put in water and substituted that.

Now that my rice and noodles were cooking and almost done, I started dicing up my potato. I used half of the potato to make a baked potato, and the other half, I went ahead and diced it up. It ended up being about half a cup of cubed potatoes.

Then I diced up about half a cup of cubed potatoes and my tomato. I diced most of it small and left a few slices just for garnish. I also diced up most of my onion, left some in slices, and a couple in rounds.

1. Yellow rice stuffed potato

For our first dish, I went ahead and melted a tablespoon of margarine in a pan and added In a teaspoon of minced garlic and two tablespoons of diced onion.

I followed that up with half of a cup of our yellow rice and half a cup of our frozen peas and let that all heat through, and the flavors marry.

Then I baked my potato in the microwave and added salt and pepper. I garnished it with about a tablespoon of our diced tomato. There you have our first meal of the week.

2. Fried rice with potatoes

For this, you will start by melting a tablespoon of butter and adding a tablespoon of those sliced-up onions and a teaspoon of your minced garlic.

I added half a cup of diced potatoes and some salt and pepper to start flavoring them up so that they would absorb some of that flavor as they cooked.

Then I added a cup of rice and a fourth cup of peas to this dish. I added two eggs in a separate skillet and scrambled them in the pan.

I added a bit of salt and pepper to those eggs and then added those into our main dish and folded those eggs into the rest of the rice mixture. When I had those potatoes in the pan, I cooked them for five minutes.

I poured everything onto my plate and finished with some of those sliced green onions just for a bit of a pop of color, adding freshness.

3. Garlic tomato pasta and peas

I started with a tablespoon of margarine, added two tablespoons of our diced onion and a teaspoon of that minced garlic, and stirred everything around.

I then added a fourth cup of diced tomatoes and a fourth cup of water. I mashed them with the back of my spatula. I also went in with a fork to keep things smoother.

I added a pinch of salt and pepper to help season what will be like a sauce for our noodles, then added a cup of our garlic Alfredo noodles.

I then added a fourth cup of water and just stirred it. I added half a cup of the peas, scraped all of that onto my plate, and added a garnish of the tomatoes I had sliced earlier and a little bit of the green onion.

The tomatoes are very subtle in this dish, but I felt I added a nice little twist so that it's not always Alfredo pasta throughout the week.

4. Alfredo pasta and peas with hard-boiled eggs on the side

I added in my tablespoon of margarine and two tablespoons of the cut-up onion, and let those get a bit browned, then added in the rest of my Alfredo pasta which was just over a cup of prepared pasta with the sauce.

I mixed that a little bit and added half a cup of our peas, a bit of salt, and a bit of pepper to help flavor the peas I had added. I added two hard-boiled eggs to this dish.

I plated my food, then I cracked those hard-boiled eggs and peeled and sliced them on the side and added a tomato rose, salt, and pepper to the eggs. I felt like this was a perfect combination.

5. Bibimbap variation

Our next dish is a twist on bibimbap, which I'm calling bibi not because it's not quite bibimbap.

I added a tablespoon of margarine, two tablespoons of our minced onion, a teaspoon of garlic, which ended up being about the last of our garlic, and half a cup of peas. I stirred all of that around until the peas were tender.

I added in the rest of our yellow rice, a cup and a half. I poured our finished pea mixture over one side of the dish and added half a cup of our diced tomato. This was the dish I used everything up on that we had left.

I added a touch of salt and pepper to those tomatoes to bring out the flavor a little bit more. In a little skillet, I fried up my last egg.

I went ahead and put that on the side of the dish and just folded it into a little corner, adding that half, the halves of the hard-boiled egg that I had made in that previous batch of hard-boiled eggs, sliced up on the side, a couple of slices of the onion, and a little salt and pepper on that fried egg I had just prepared.

I know it's not the traditional bibimbap, but it makes a pretty bowl and is quite delicious.
