5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Sheet-Pan Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters with Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli Crowns
Description: One crisp-skinned chicken leg quarter roasts on a single pan with chunks of sweet potato and broccoli florets. The sweet potato caramelizes while the broccoli edges char, so you get a full dinner with one pan to wash.
Sale items used: Fresh Chicken Leg Quarters ($1.00/lb), Sweet Potatoes ($0.39/lb), Broccoli Crowns ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 50 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 leg quarter (assume about 1 lb total), 1 medium sweet potato cut in 1-inch cubes (about 0.5 lb), and about 0.5 lb broccoli crowns cut into florets. Roast at 425 F for 35 to 40 minutes, tossing everything in oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Buy about 1 lb of sweet potatoes for the week, since the second one is used Wednesday.

- Sheet Pan Chicken and Sweet Potatoes with Broccoli
- Sheet-Pan Jerk Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Crispy Collard Greens
Tuesday
Meal: Roasted Half Boneless Pork Loin with Granny Smith Apples, Yellow Onions and Brussels Sprouts
Description: A small portion of pork loin roasts alongside wedges of tart Granny Smith apple, sliced onion and halved Brussels sprouts. The apple and onion soften into a sweet-savory pan sauce that glazes the pork.
Sale items used: Half Boneless Pork Loin ($2.99/lb), Granny Smith Apples ($1.79/lb), Giant Yellow Onions ($1.99 each), Giant Brussels Sprouts ($2.49 each)
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Ask the meat counter to cut a 0.75 lb piece from the half pork loin (assumed 0.75 lb total), or buy a small packaged portion. Use 1 Granny Smith apple (about 0.5 lb), 1/2 yellow onion, and about 1 cup (a handful of about 6 to 8) halved Brussels sprouts. Roast at 400 F for 30 to 35 minutes until the pork reaches 145 F, then rest 5 minutes before slicing. Leftover pork can top a sandwich or salad for lunch.

Wednesday
Meal: Cheesy Ground Beef, Cabbage and Sweet Potato Skillet
Description: Browned ground beef, shredded cabbage and diced sweet potato cook together in one skillet until tender and slightly crisp. A handful of melted shredded cheese on top makes it hearty and comforting.
Sale items used: 80% Lean Ground Beef ($4.49/lb), Cabbage ($0.79/lb), Sweet Potatoes ($0.39/lb), Giant Shredded Cheese ($1.49 each), Giant Yellow Onions ($1.99 each)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Buy 0.5 lb ground beef (assumed 0.5 lb total), but use about 1/3 lb (about 5 oz) tonight and freeze the rest in a small bag for a future burger or taco night. Use 1 small diced sweet potato (about 0.5 lb), 1 cup shredded cabbage (about 0.25 lb), 1/4 onion, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Dice the sweet potato small so it cooks in about 12 minutes, and cover the skillet to steam it.

Thursday
Meal: Chicken Drumstick, Carrot and Cabbage Soup
Description: Two drumsticks simmer in broth with sliced carrots, cabbage and onion until the meat falls off the bone. It makes a warming, brothy bowl that stretches the budget.
Sale items used: Fresh Chicken Drumsticks ($0.99/lb), Giant Cooking Carrots ($1.99 each), Cabbage ($0.79/lb), Swanson Canned Broth ($1.00), Giant Yellow Onions ($1.99 each)
Prep time: 45 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 drumsticks (assume about 0.75 lb total), 2 carrots sliced (about 1 cup), 1.5 cups chopped cabbage (about 0.25 lb), 1/4 onion, 1 can broth plus 1 cup water. Simmer about 30 minutes, then shred the meat off the bones and return it to the pot. Season with salt, pepper, garlic and dried thyme. Saving the remaining carrots for snacking or Friday sides is an easy use.

Friday
Meal: Garlic-Lime Skillet Shrimp with Asparagus, Pan-Crisped Baby Potatoes and Avocado
Description: Jumbo shrimp sear in a hot skillet with plenty of garlic and a squeeze of fresh lime, alongside tender asparagus spears. Golden pan-crisped baby potatoes and sliced avocado round out the plate.
Sale items used: Jumbo Raw EZ Peel Shrimp ($6.99/lb), Asparagus ($3.99/lb with digital coupon), Giant Baby Potatoes ($2.99 each), Hass Avocados ($0.99 each), Limes (3 for $0.99)

Start the potatoes first, cut-side down for about 15 minutes, then cook the shrimp and asparagus in the same pan for about 5 minutes. The remaining baby potatoes can be roasted with the next meal after this plan.
