Target may be better known for its extensive apparel, toys and housewares aisles, but savvy shoppers also know that the red-and-white brand has a wide array of grocery options to choose from that won’t break their budget.
Those seeking meals on the cheap while shopping at Target won’t be disappointed. Here are some of the most inexpensive, yet tasty, dinners that can feed your whole family for less than $15.

Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches
- Total price: $14.56
This one is simple and done in a matter of minutes! Simply stock up on some of Target’s private label Good & Gather seasoned pulled pork in bourbon barbecue sauce ($7.99 for 16 ounces), which contains three servings. The Pepperidge Farms butter slider buns come in at just $3.39 for 12 buns, a perfect handheld treat. And you’ll have plenty left over to use for other meals.
A bottle of ranch dressing from Target store brand Market Pantry will set you back just under two bucks ($1.99), and together with an 8-ounce bag of Good & Gather tri-color coleslaw ($1.19), you’ve got yourself a slaw — perfect on the side or on the bun alongside the pulled pork!
Pizza Night, With Salad and Dessert
- Total price: $12.57
Who doesn’t like to kick back, have a slice of pizza, and enjoy the latest and greatest on Netflix with the family?
If that sounds like a perfect evening to you, start with a three-serving Market Pantry pepperoni thin crust pizza ($3.79) and add on a Good & Gather Caesar salad kit ($3.79), which also serves three, to complete the main course.
A cool $4.99 nets you a 48-ounce tub of creamy Breyers natural vanilla ice cream to serve as dessert.
Cheesy Tacos and Street Corn
- Total price: $14.17
Who doesn’t love a good taco? And when combined with one of the year’s hottest trend in side dishes — a heaping helping of street corn — it’s the perfect pair. And if you shop at Target, you can get this meal for cheap.
Target sells a Taco Bell cheesy double decker taco kit for $3.39 (currently on sale for $2.99), which comes with six crunchy taco shells, six soft taco shells, cheese sauce and seasoning. That’s enough for a family of three to have two tacos each.
Simply add the protein of your choice – Good & Gather 80/20 ground beef sells for $6.69 per pound — and voilà !
Accompanying your tacos is Alexia gluten-free frozen Mexican-style street corn in a 10-ounce serving for just $4.49. Reviewers rave about the taste and ease of preparation. The corn could also be added to your taco for a bit of a flavor explosion!
Traditional Fish and Chips
- Total price: $13.27
Those looking for an old-school seafood meal might consider chowing down on a fish and chips meal for dinner. This is a perfect meal to feed a larger family.
Gorton’s offers 10 whole fillets of Alaskan pollock, which serves five, for $7.19. A 32-ounce bag of Market Pantry crinkle-cut French fries will set you back just $3.39, and it contains 11 whole servings, so you’ll have plenty left over.
If you’d like some green on your plate, pick up a package of Birds Eye garlic butter broccoli, which comes in a 9-ounce bag, for $2.69.
