Food City Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week at Food City, the Boston Butt does double duty: you roast it on Monday with baked potatoes, then turn the leftover pork into a skillet hash on Thursday. The 8 lb bag of Jumbo Baking Potatoes at $5.00 stretches across Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and the Tomatoes on the Vine show up on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, so very little goes to waste. Tuesday's Chicken Breast Tenders, 2 lbs at $3.98, make a fast pan-seared dinner, and Friday's Cooked Shrimp only needs a quick warm-up in the skillet to close out the week. Everything is dairy-free, relying on pantry basics like oil, garlic, spices and broth or water.
