Why these meals: The two biggest stars this week are boneless skinless chicken breasts at just $1.99/lb with the digital coupon and 80% lean ground beef at $3.99/lb, and those two proteins anchor three of the five nights at very low cost. Nathan's Beef Franks at $4.99 for a full pack rounds out a fourth economical night with a fun, crowd-pleasing format. London Broil at $5.99/lb earns the one premium night: at roughly $2.25 per serving it is the most affordable of the higher-end proteins on this flyer, far below the Wagyu burgers, deli turkey, or Marc Angelo skewers. The produce sales are genuinely strong this week, with sweet corn at 8 for $2.00, green peppers at $0.99 each, and Giant Broccoli Florets at $2.49 making it easy to build out full, colorful plates without pushing the total anywhere near the ceiling.
