Food City Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week at Food City, you get a different main nearly every night: chicken tenders on Monday, a slow-roasted Boston Butt on Tuesday, ground round patties on Wednesday, cooked shrimp on Thursday, and baked gourmet burgers on Friday. The Boston Butt at $4.98 for 2 lbs and the chicken tenders at $3.98 for 2 lbs are easy low-carb wins to grab first. Tomatoes on the Vine show up on Monday and Thursday, and one $5.00 package of Food Club Shredded Cheese covers Monday and Friday, so you buy it once and use it twice. Wednesday's 3 lbs of ground round lets you freeze half for later, and Tuesday's roast reheats well if you want to cook ahead.
