Giant Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: You'll get a lot of mileage out of a few Giant sale buys this week. Chicken shows up twice, with leg quarters roasted over potatoes and onions on Monday and boneless, skinless breasts seared with squash and peppers on Thursday. Cabbage ($1.48 for 2.5 lbs) covers both Tuesday's pork chops with apple sauté and Wednesday's ground beef haluski, so one purchase becomes two very different dinners. Hothouse Peppers also do double duty on Thursday and Friday, and the week ends with garlic shrimp over 90-Second Rice, a 25-minute dinner for when you're ready to be done cooking. Most of the flavor comes from pantry staples like garlic, lemons, and smoked paprika, so your cart stays focused on the sale items.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters with Potatoes and Onions
