Giant Kosher Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The chicken leg quarters at $1.29/lb are the standout deal of the week and anchor one dinner beautifully. Hebrew National Beef Franks at $4.99 for a pack and the 73% lean ground beef at $3.49/lb on the 3-day sale price give you two more hearty, budget-friendly meat nights. The 8-piece dark meat chicken at $6.99 flat is a great value for a ready-to-finish dinner and rounds out the four economical nights. For the one premium night, Coho Salmon at $8.99/lb is the most accessible of the seafood options - it costs less per serving than the Beef Kabobs, Beef Short Ribs, or Salmon Fillet on a Plank, making it the smartest premium pick on this flyer.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Braised Chicken Leg Quarters with Eggplant and Sweet Corn (Meat)
Description: Chicken leg quarters are seared in olive oil until golden, then simmered in a seasoned broth with diced eggplant until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through. Sweet corn on the cob is served alongside, making this a satisfying, deeply savory weeknight dinner.
Sale items used: Fresh Chicken Leg Quarters (Family Size), Eggplant, Sweet Corn (White or Yellow)
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Use 2.5 lbs of Fresh Chicken Leg Quarters (4 pieces), 1 lb of Eggplant (roughly 1 medium), and 4 ears of Sweet Corn (White or Yellow) from a 10-for-$2.50 purchase; cook corn in a separate pot of water to keep the meal moving.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Coho Salmon with Asparagus and Giant Salad Blend (Dairy-Free Fish)
Description: Coho salmon portions are seasoned and pan-seared skin-side down in olive oil until crisp, then finished in the pan until just cooked through. Asparagus is roasted alongside and a fresh salad blend is served on the side, dressed simply with olive oil and lemon.
Sale items used: Coho Salmon (Farm Raised, Sashimi Grade), Asparagus, Giant Salad Blends (5 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1.5 lbs of Coho Salmon (Farm Raised, Sashimi Grade) cut into 4 portions, 1 lb of Asparagus, and 1 bag of Giant Salad Blends (5 oz.); no dairy is used in this meal.
Wednesday
Meal: Ground Beef and Portabella Mushroom Skillet with Ben's Original Ready Rice (Meat)
Description: Seasoned 73% lean ground beef is browned in a skillet with sliced portabella mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and hot house peppers until everything is cooked through and fragrant. The mixture is spooned over fluffy Ben's Original Ready Rice for a complete, filling dinner.
Sale items used: 73% Lean Ground Beef (27% Fat, Family Size), Giant Portabella Mushrooms (14 oz.), Grape Tomatoes (10 oz.), Hot House Peppers (Red, Yellow or Orange), Ben's Original Ready Rice
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1.5 lbs of 73% Lean Ground Beef at the 3-day sale price of $3.49/lb, 1 package of Giant Portabella Mushrooms (14 oz.), 1 package of Grape Tomatoes (10 oz.), 2 Hot House Peppers from a 3-for-$5.00 purchase, and 2 packages of Ben's Original Ready Rice (purchased as a 2-for-$5.00 deal) to yield about 4 cups cooked rice.
Thursday
Meal: Hebrew National Beef Franks with Sweet Corn and Mini Cucumber Salad (Meat)
Description: Hebrew National Beef Franks are pan-griddled until lightly charred and served on Ball Park Rolls alongside sweet corn on the cob. A crisp mini cucumber and grape tomato salad dressed with olive oil and mustard rounds out the plate.

Check the label: supermarket buns and rolls often contain milk or whey, which cannot be served with meat, and few are certified kosher.
Friday
Meal: Baked 8-Piece Dark Meat Chicken with Green Beans and Avocado Salad (Meat)
Description: The 8-piece dark meat chicken is baked in the oven until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through, seasoned simply with pantry spices and olive oil. Giant Green Beans are steamed and served alongside a fresh salad of sliced avocado and Giant Salad Blends dressed with olive oil.
Sale items used: 8-Piece Dark Meat Chicken Fried or Baked, Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts (12 oz. bag), Avocados, Giant Salad Blends (5 oz.)
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 package of 8-Piece Dark Meat Chicken Fried or Baked, 1 bag of Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts (12 oz.), 2 Avocados from the 5-for-$5.00 purchase, and 1 bag of Giant Salad Blends (5 oz.); chicken should go into the oven first as it takes the longest - prep the salad and beans while it bakes.
