BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week at Food City, pork leads the way on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, with the boneless pork loin at $2.24 and the mixed pork chops at $2.98 making those nights easy to fill. Tuesday brings boneless chicken breast ($5.98) with firecracker Brussels sprouts, and Friday closes the week with the Certified Angus top sirloin steak at $13.49. One 10 lb bag of russet potatoes ($3.99) covers both Monday's roasted wedges and Friday's smashed potatoes, so you only buy it once. Wednesday's sausage and sweet potato hash and Thursday's pork chops with Kinder's BBQ sauce and cornbread muffins keep the sides varied from night to night.
