Walmart is rolling out all the things for fall — Walmart Halloween costumes, $6 cheap backpacks, and now, value meals and recipe ideas to solve all your weekday dinner problems.

With Walmart value meals, you can put dinner on the table for $6 or less. All you have to do is visit Walmart.com to see all the affordable meal options, then add the ingredients you need to your cart for Walmart pickup. And if you’re lost on what to cook during the week, you can visit the new Walmart Digital Recipe Hub for cheap dinner ideas.

But that’s not all. Through Oct. 15, you’ll find more Walmart Rollbacks on popular food items. And with Walmart delivery, you can now get their famous rotisserie chicken delivered right to your door — warmed and ready to eat.

Curious about how to score affordable meals at Walmart? We rounded up all the details on what’s new and available now:

 

You can serve a family of four for $6 or less with Walmart value meals.

If your weekly grocery bill is giving you wrinkles, Walmart.com has family meals for $6, $12, or $16 and under. You can browse meals by all three price points.

If you see a meal that makes sense for you and your fam, add all the listed ingredients to your cart for pickup or delivery from your local Walmart store.

Meals Under $6:

  • Meatless Stir-Fry
  • Veggie Pasta
  • Grilled Cheese & Tomato Sandwiches
  • Tomato & White Bean Soup
  • Broccolini Ranch Pasta

Meals Under $12:

  • Gardein Chick’n Wraps
  • Black Bean Quesadillas

Meals Under $16:

  • Enchilada Bake
  • Tuna Pasta Salad
  • Shrimp Scampi

TIP: Keep in mind that Walmart charges a $6.99 pickup fee if your order is under $35 and contains refrigerated items. So, if you’re buying a $6 meal, but have to pay a $7 pickup fee, it’s worth considering other options.

 

Browse Walmart’s new Digital Recipe Hub for more low-priced meal ideas.

Walmart’s Digital Recipe Hub is where you can find meal ideas and grab the ingredients you need — and yes, it’s 100% free.

Walmart (currently) has hundreds of recipes in their online hub, with prices starting as low as $2 per serving. If something catches your eye, you can add it to your saved recipes, or add the full list of ingredients to your cart with a simple click.

Some of the meals in the Recipe Hub right now include easy fish tacos, paprika chicken and rice bake, loaded baked potato salad, and a six-minute apple crisp. You can view meals by breakfast, lunch, or dinner, search by a specific cuisine, or find chicken, pasta, or vegetarian recipes in Walmart’s digital hub.

 

Walmart is now delivering hot rotisserie chickens right to your door, but Costco still has a better value.

Walmart recently announced their rotisserie chickens are available for delivery from the store. And when you order one, it’ll arrive hot and ready to eat. A rotisserie chicken from Walmart costs $6.97 and comes in two flavors: traditional or lemon pepper.

But as tasty and tempting as this seems, you’re still much better off buying rotisserie chicken at Costco, where it’s priced at $4.99.

StoreRotisserie Chicken PriceWeightPrice Per Pound
Walmart$6.972.25 lbs$3.09
Costco$4.993 lbs$1.99

Costco’s rotisserie chicken costs less and weighs more than Walmart’s chicken. So, you’re getting more for a lower price at Costco.
