5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Seared Assorted Pork Chops with Roasted Sweet Corn and Carrots
Description: One bone-in pork chop is seared in a hot skillet until golden and cooked through, then served alongside oven-roasted sweet corn cut from the cob and tender baby carrots tossed in olive oil and garlic. This simple, satisfying plate comes together in under 30 minutes and is completely dairy-free.
Sale items used: Assorted Pork Chops ($4.49 each), Sweet Corn ($1.99 for 5 ct tray), Giant Peeled Baby Cut Carrots ($1.99 for 2 lb. bag)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 pork chop from the pack (freeze the remaining chops individually for later use). Use 1 ear of corn from the 5-count tray and roughly 0.5 lb of carrots from the 2 lb. bag. Store remaining corn and carrots for Friday's stir-fry.

Tuesday
Meal: Smoked Sausage and Green Bean Skillet with Vidalia Onions
Description: Sliced smoked dinner sausage is browned in a skillet with sweet Vidalia onion rings and tender-crisp green beans, all seasoned with garlic, black pepper, and a splash of chicken broth for a savory one-pan dinner. The natural sweetness of the Vidalia onions balances the smoky sausage beautifully.
Sale items used: Giant Smoked or Fresh Dinner Sausage ($3.99 each), Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts ($2.99/lb), Vidalia Onions ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use roughly half the sausage link (about 6 oz) and freeze or refrigerate the rest for another use. Buy 0.5 lb of green beans (estimated cost $1.50) and 0.5 lb of Vidalia onion (estimated cost $1.00). Use about half the onion this meal and save the rest for Wednesday.

Wednesday
Meal: Slow-Braised Pork Picnic Roast with Vine Ripe Tomatoes and Onions
Description: A small portion of pork picnic roast is slow-braised in a covered pot with chopped vine ripe tomatoes, sliced Vidalia onion, garlic, and herbs until fork-tender and deeply flavorful. This is a low-effort, high-reward meal that fills the kitchen with incredible aroma.
Sale items used: Whole Pork Picnic Roast ($1.99/lb), Vine Ripe Tomatoes ($1.99/lb), Vidalia Onions ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, approximately 2 to 2.5 hours total braising time
Serving note: Buy approximately 1.5 lbs of pork picnic roast (estimated cost $2.99) - ask the butcher to cut a small portion if possible, or freeze the remainder after cooking. Buy 0.5 lb of vine ripe tomatoes (estimated cost $1.00) and use the remaining Vidalia onion from Tuesday. Make-ahead tip: start the braise early in the afternoon so it is ready by dinnertime; leftovers reheat well the next day.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Cooked Gilbert's Chicken Sausage with Iceberg Lettuce Wraps and Grape Tomatoes
Description: Sliced Gilbert's chicken sausage links are pan-cooked until lightly caramelized, then served in crisp iceberg lettuce cups topped with halved grape tomatoes, a drizzle of mustard, and a squeeze of fresh lime for a light and refreshing dairy-free dinner. The lettuce wraps make this feel fresh and summery with almost no cooking required.
Sale items used: Gilbert's Chicken Sausage ($3.99 each), Iceberg Lettuce ($1.99 each), Nature's Promise Organic Grape Tomatoes ($3.99 each), Nature's Promise Organic Lemons or Limes ($2.99 for 3 ct pkg)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 to 3 sausage links from the pack and refrigerate the rest for another meal. Use 4 to 5 outer lettuce leaves as wraps and store the remaining head for salads. Use about one-third of the grape tomato container and save the rest for snacking. Use 1 lime from the 3-count package.

Friday
Meal: EZ Peel Shrimp Stir-Fry with Carrots and Green Beans
Description: Peeled and deveined shrimp are quickly stir-fried in a hot pan with sliced carrots, green beans, garlic, and a savory sauce of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a splash of lime juice for a fast and flavorful dairy-free dinner. This bright, colorful stir-fry comes together in under 15 minutes and uses up the remaining carrots and green beans from earlier in the week.
Sale items used: EZ Peel Shrimp ($11.98 for 2 lb. bag), Giant Peeled Baby Cut Carrots (already purchased Monday), Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts (already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb of shrimp from the 2 lb. bag (about 10 to 12 medium shrimp) and freeze the remaining shrimp in portioned bags for future meals. Use the remaining carrots from the Monday bag and the remaining green beans from Tuesday's purchase - no additional vegetable purchase needed today.
