Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week you get a different dinner each night from Monday through Friday: pork tenderloin on Monday, rotisserie chicken on Tuesday, ground beef on Wednesday, tilapia on Thursday, and a meatless black bean stew on Friday. The five cans of Giant Canned Beans at $4.45 cover two of those nights, Wednesday's stuffed acorn squash and Friday's stew, so one pantry staple stretches across both. Tuesday is the easiest night, since the $6.99 Giant Rotisserie Chicken needs no cooking, but check that its seasoning has no dairy. Everything is cooked in olive oil rather than butter to keep the week dairy-free, and it's worth a quick look at the label on Friday's Toufayan pitas too.
