5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Smoked Sausage and Sweet Corn Skillet with Baby-Cut Carrots
Description: Sliced smoked sausage is browned in a hot skillet with fresh sweet corn cut off the cob and tender baby-cut carrots for a quick, satisfying one-pan dinner. The natural sweetness of the corn and carrots balances the savory, smoky sausage perfectly.
Sale items used: Premio Fresh Dinner or Eckrich Smoked Sausage ($2.99 each with digital coupon), Sweet Corn 5 for $2.00, Giant Peeled Baby-Cut Carrots 16 oz. bag ($1.00 each)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use about 4 oz (half a link) of smoked sausage from a single $2.99 package - the rest keeps refrigerated for another use. Use 2 ears of sweet corn ($0.80 worth) and about 4 oz of carrots from the $1.00 bag. The full bag of carrots will last the week as a snack or side.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Roasted Red Potatoes and Green Beans
Description: A single boneless skinless chicken breast is seared golden in a hot pan, then finished in the oven alongside cubed red potatoes and crisp-tender green beans for a classic, well-rounded plate. The high heat creates a flavorful crust on the chicken while the vegetables roast to caramelized perfection.
Sale items used: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Family Size ($1.99/lb with digital coupon), Giant Red Potatoes or Yellow Onions 3 lb. bag 2 for $5.00, Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts 32 oz. bag ($5.99 each)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of chicken breast at $1.99/lb, costing about $1.00 - buy the family pack and freeze the rest in individual portions. Use roughly 0.5 lb of red potatoes from one $2.50 bag and about 6 oz of green beans from the $5.99 bag; both keep well for later meals this week.
Wednesday
Meal: Ground Beef and Tomato Pasta with Kraft Shredded Cheese
Description: Seasoned ground beef is browned with diced tomatoes on the vine and tossed with al dente pasta in a simple, hearty sauce topped with melted shredded cheese. It is a comforting, flavorful weeknight bowl that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Sale items used: 80% Lean Ground Beef Family Size ($3.99/lb), Giant Pasta ($0.99 each), Tomatoes on the Vine ($1.99/lb), Kraft Shredded Cheese 16 oz. ($4.99 each)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 0.5 lb of ground beef at $3.99/lb, costing roughly $2.00 - buy the family pack and freeze the rest in 0.5 lb portions. Cook about 2 oz (dry) of pasta from the $0.99 box. Use about 0.25 lb of tomatoes on the vine at $1.99/lb, costing about $0.50. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese from the $4.99 bag, which will last the week.

Thursday
Meal: Slow-Braised Bone-In Pork Butt Taco Bowl with Corn and Romaine
Description: A small portion of bone-in pork butt is slow-braised until fork-tender, then shredded and served over sweet corn and crisp chopped romaine in a satisfying taco bowl. The rich, juicy pulled pork pairs beautifully with the fresh crunch of romaine and the sweetness of corn.
Sale items used: Whole Fresh Pork Butt Bone-In ($2.49/lb), Sweet Corn 5 for $2.00, Nature's Promise Organic Romaine Hearts 3 ct. bag ($3.99 each), Old El Paso Dinner Kit or Taco Shells ($3.00 each)
Prep time: 30 minutes active, 3 to 4 hours total braising time
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of pork butt at $2.49/lb, costing about $2.49 - the bone-in cut yields roughly 0.6 lb of cooked meat, giving you a generous serving plus leftovers. Use 1 ear of sweet corn ($0.40 worth) and 1 romaine heart from the 3-pack. Make-ahead tip: braise the pork in the morning or the night before and simply reheat at dinnertime; it reheats beautifully and the flavor deepens overnight.

Friday
Meal: Garlic Butter Large Raw EZ Peel Shrimp Stir-Fry with Sweet Corn and Tomatoes
Description: Plump raw shrimp are quickly stir-fried in garlic butter with fresh sweet corn and juicy tomatoes on the vine for a bright, summery skillet meal that cooks in minutes. The natural sweetness of the corn and tomatoes creates a light, flavorful sauce that coats every shrimp.
Sale items used: Large Raw EZ Peel Shrimp 31-40 ct. ($5.99/lb with digital coupon), Sweet Corn 5 for $2.00, Tomatoes on the Vine ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use about 0.5 lb of raw shrimp at $5.99/lb, costing about $3.00 - that yields roughly 8 to 10 shrimp, a perfect single serving. Use 1 ear of sweet corn ($0.40 worth) and about 0.25 lb of tomatoes on the vine at $1.99/lb, costing about $0.50. Buy only what you need at the seafood counter if possible, or freeze the remainder of the bag immediately.
