Food City Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week at Food City, you get five low-carb dinners built around sale proteins, with pork showing up twice: Monday as pan-roasted loin slices and Friday as pan-fried center cut chops. The Whole Boneless Pork Loin is $3.98 for your 2 lbs, and the Boneless Chicken Breast for Tuesday's sour cream skillet is $5.98. Wednesday's taco-seasoned ground beef skillet skips the tortillas and rice, and the 2 lbs of Food City Fresh ground beef is also $5.98. Steamin' Easy Vegetables are an easy side for both Monday and Thursday, and the Thursday tilapia is the one splurge at $13.49 for 1.5 lbs. Tuesday and Friday both lean on Garden Salads dressed with oil and vinegar, so check that the salad has no sugary dressing.
