Giant Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Catfish at $0.89/lb is the standout value this week, anchoring two dinners at under $2 for all four servings combined - that is genuinely hard to beat. Boar's Head Ovengold Turkey Breast at $4.49 each gives you a deli-quality protein for two more nights at about $2.25 per serving, and it works beautifully sliced and pan-seared or layered into a low-carb skillet. Salmon at $4.49 each ties turkey breast on price per serving, but because it is a premium seafood item it earns the one premium night slot - it is the best premium value available on this flyer since the ribeye and shrimp have no usable pricing unit. Eggs from your pantry fill the fifth night, keeping the week's grocery spend low and adding a completely different flavor profile with a frittata.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Catfish Fillets over Sauteed Green Beans with Romaine Salad
Description: Catfish fillets are seasoned with pantry spices and pan-seared in butter until golden and flaky, served alongside sauteed Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts.
