Food City Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan stretches a few Food City sale items across several dinners, so you can shop once and still get variety. One $5.00 bag of Jumbo Baking Potatoes covers both Monday's slow-roasted Boston Butt and Wednesday's stuffed baked potatoes. The 3 lbs of Tomatoes on the Vine at $5.97 go into Tuesday's chicken tender skillet, Thursday's black bean skillet, and Friday's no-cook shrimp and pineapple plate. Thursday is meatless and Friday needs no stove at all, so the end of the week is easy. Since everything needs to be gluten-free, check the labels on the Food Club Shredded Cheese and the Luck's Beans before they go in your cart, and remember the 3 lbs of Ground Round is the amount the sale price calls for, so the extra can go in your freezer.
