Giant Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week gives you a different protein every night, so nobody gets tired of the same dinner: ham steak on Monday, tilapia fingers on Tuesday, sloppy joes on Wednesday, rotisserie chicken pita pizzas on Thursday, and pork tenderloin on Friday. The kid-pleasers are familiar and fun, like baked fish sticks with sweet potato wedges and build-your-own pita pizzas with warm pasta sauce for dipping. One 3.5 lb buy of Russet Potatoes at $2.42 covers both Monday's mashed potatoes and Friday's roasted potatoes, and a single $1.69 bottle of Giant Ketchup is used on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Pick up the Nature's Promise Pasta Sauce as a pair for $5.00 so you get the sale price.
