Ingredients

Prices are from Walmart the week of October 4, 2026. Sale prices change every week and differ by store.

Steps

  1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and chop.
  2. Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until combined.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the bacon skillet, then pour in eggs. Let them sit 30 seconds before gently stirring until soft curds form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Fold in bacon pieces, then transfer to plates. Serve with mandarin oranges on the side.

Why it’s cheap

2 of the 6 ingredients were on sale at Walmart the week of October 4, 2026, led by marketside sizzle and pop glazed thick cut bacon at $5.97 instead of $8.44.

The sale items rang up $4.61 under their regular prices.

Penny Meals prices a dinner by the share of each package you actually cook, adds an estimated shelf price for anything that wasn’t on sale, and counts pantry staples like oil and salt as free. That came to $1.26 a serving, or $5.04 for 4 servings.
