Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week at Giant, you get five different dinners built around the sale proteins: pork chops on Monday, beef chili on Tuesday, pork tenderloin on Wednesday, jerk-style wings on Thursday, and garlic shrimp pasta on Friday. Pork shows up twice, on Monday and Wednesday, but one night is a quick pan-seared chop and the other is an oven-roasted tenderloin with carrots and squash, so the two don't feel alike. Everything stays dairy-free, with olive oil and Nature's Promise Organic Coconut Milk doing the work that butter or cream might otherwise do. Pork chops at $4.49 and ground beef at $3.99 make the early-week dinners especially affordable, and the Giant 90-Second Rice deal at 2 for $4.00 covers both the Tuesday chili and the Thursday coconut rice.
