Delicious Easter Dinner for Just 1 Million VND at Walmart

I know times are tough with rising food prices, but there's no way I'm giving up my annual Easter feast! There are countless ways to throw a budget-friendly party, but I took a different approach: I crafted a menu for 8 people for under 1 million VND while shopping at Walmart. To my surprise, I ended up saving even more than I anticipated!

Shopping List

• 1.8 kg ham: 350,000 VND
• 1 can of pineapple: 40,000 VND
• 6 eggs: 25,000 VND
• Hawaiian rolls: 50,000 VND
• 1 kg carrots: 50,000 VND
• 1 onion: 20,000 VND
• 2 bags of frozen corn: 50,000 VND
• 2 bags of frozen peas: 50,000 VND
• 2.2 kg potatoes: 60,000 VND
• Carrot cake: 130,000 VND

Smart Shopping Tips

First, check what you have at home. I’m sure you already have sugar, butter, flour, and some other basic ingredients, so you can make a fantastic dinner using what you have. If your pantry is bare, you can still whip up a delicious dinner with just my shopping list!

Always go shopping with a list and stick to it firmly. If you want to add something extra, ask a friend or family member to pick it up for you. Don’t hesitate to use some pre-made items; they not only save time but also free up space in the oven for the ham and other dishes.

Easter Dinner Menu

This menu combines clever tips with tried-and-true recipes to transform a simple shopping list into the perfect Easter dinner. Some dishes can be served right away, while others can be enhanced with ingredients you have on hand.

Honey-Baked Ham with Pineapple

My honey-baked ham is sweet, savory, and incredibly juicy – the perfect dish for the holiday. I used a honey-baked ham recipe for this Easter dinner plan. This dish is super easy to prepare and still packed with flavor, even if you skip the spices!

Just roast the ham for about 20 minutes per kg at 180°C, wrap it in foil, and you’re done! Many hams come with a seasoning packet, which you can also use if you don’t have any other spices. On average, each person will eat about 113g of ham, but I adjusted it so everyone can enjoy around 227g for this meal.

Mashed Corn

Making mashed corn from scratch is easier than you think! It’s a fantastic side dish for holiday gatherings, using simple ingredients. If your pantry is short on staples like sugar and flour, you can just steam the corn and add a bit of butter, and you’re good to go.

Steamed Peas

I love mashed peas, but wanting to avoid too many mashed dishes, I opted for steamed peas instead. Steamed peas are classic, inexpensive, and extremely easy to prepare. Just place the peas in a microwave-safe bowl, add water, and heat for a few minutes.

Hasselback Potatoes

Hasselback potatoes are a great way to turn a bag of ordinary potatoes into an attractive side dish for dinner. You can use whatever oil you have on hand and season them as you like. This side dish is easy to make, making it perfect for Easter dinner.

Hawaiian Rolls

I made simple Hawaiian rolls by spreading a bit of glaze mixture from a ham and cheese sandwich recipe on top, then baking them in the oven. It’s an easy way to make these rolls special for the Easter dinner.

Deviled Eggs

No Easter menu is complete without deviled eggs, as they are always a holiday favorite. This is a low-cost recipe I created, requiring only mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and basic seasonings. If you’re short on ingredients, you can make a simpler version with just mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.

Glazed Carrots

Glazed carrots require just 5 ingredients and 20 minutes to prepare. They’re ideal for busy dinners or parties. You can roast, steam, or air-fry the carrots while keeping things simple with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is one of those desserts I find truly worthwhile. I opted for a beautifully made carrot cake that I sliced into 8 pieces. Of course, you can bake your own carrot cake, but that depends on the ingredients you have and the time you can dedicate to cooking.

In the end, no matter how you prepare the dishes, the most important thing is gathering with loved ones. Enjoy the dinner and the joyful moments together!
