5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Baked Giant Pasta with Prego Sauce and BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella
Description: A single-serving baked pasta dish built from one portion of Giant pasta tossed with Prego marinara sauce, then topped with sliced BelGioioso fresh mozzarella and baked until bubbly and golden. It is a satisfying, cheesy weeknight dinner that comes together quickly with pantry-friendly sale items.
Sale items used: Giant Pasta ($0.99 each), Prego Sauce ($1.99 each), BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella or Snacking Cheese ($4.99 each)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Cook about 3 oz of dry pasta (roughly one-third of a 1 lb box), use about half a jar of Prego sauce, and slice or tear about 2 oz of fresh mozzarella over the top before baking at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. The remaining pasta, sauce, and mozzarella keep well for later in the week - make-ahead tip: assemble the dish in an oven-safe single-serve dish so it goes straight from fridge to oven.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Scrambled Egg and Vine Ripe Tomato Tacos with Mission Carb Balance Tortillas
Description: Two or three Mission Carb Balance tortillas are filled with fluffy skillet-scrambled eggs and diced fresh vine ripe tomatoes for a bright, protein-rich vegetarian taco dinner. A pinch of hot sauce and a dollop of Giant sour cream round out the flavors without any extra shopping.
Sale items used: Mission Carb Balance Tortillas ($2.99 each), Vine Ripe Tomatoes ($1.99/lb), Giant Sour Cream ($1.99 each)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Use 3 large eggs (from your home supply or picked up separately), about 0.25 lb of vine ripe tomatoes (roughly one medium tomato, estimated cost $0.50 for that portion), and 2 to 3 tortillas from the pack. The remaining tortillas and sour cream store well for the rest of the week.

Wednesday
Meal: MorningStar Farms Veggie Burgers on Nature's Own Rolls with Iceberg Lettuce and Vine Ripe Tomatoes
Description: A juicy MorningStar Farms veggie burger is pan-seared and served on a Nature's Own roll piled with crisp iceberg lettuce and sliced vine ripe tomato for a classic burger experience without any meat. Giant ketchup and mustard from the sale make ideal condiments to keep the cost low.
Sale items used: MorningStar Farms Breakfast, Burgers or Entrees ($2.99 each), Nature's Own Bread or Rolls (BOGO), Iceberg Lettuce ($1.99 each), Vine Ripe Tomatoes ($1.99/lb), Giant Ketchup or Yellow Mustard ($1.99 each)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Cook 1 veggie burger patty from the package (the box typically contains 4 patties, so the rest freeze well), use 1 roll from the Nature's Own pack, 1 to 2 leaves of iceberg lettuce, and about 0.15 lb of vine ripe tomato (2 to 3 slices, estimated cost $0.30 for that portion). The BOGO Nature's Own rolls means you pay for one pack and get one free - buy the smallest available size; use one roll this week and freeze or use the rest.

Thursday
Meal: Cottage Cheese and Roasted Brussels Sprouts Bowl with Giant Parmesan Cheese over Giant Pasta
Description: Roasted Brussels sprouts are tossed with olive oil and served over a bed of cooked Giant pasta, then topped with a generous scoop of creamy Breakstone's cottage cheese and a shower of Giant Parmesan for a high-protein, satisfying vegetarian bowl. The combination of warm pasta and cool cottage cheese creates a pleasant contrast that makes this simple dish feel restaurant-worthy.
Sale items used: Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts ($2.99/lb), Giant Pasta ($0.99 each), Breakstone's Cottage Cheese ($2.99 each), Giant Parmesan Cheese ($1.99 each)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use about 0.5 lb of Brussels sprouts (estimated cost $1.50 for that portion), roasted at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes. Cook about 3 oz of dry pasta, top with about half a cup of cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan. The remaining cottage cheese and Parmesan keep well in the fridge for snacking or future meals.

Friday
Meal: California Pizza Kitchen or DiGiorno Detroit Style Pizza with Nature's Promise Salad Blend Side Salad
Description: A California Pizza Kitchen or DiGiorno Detroit Style frozen pizza bakes up into a crispy, cheesy Friday night treat that requires zero prep beyond preheating the oven. A simple side salad made from Nature's Promise Salad Blend with a drizzle of Litehouse dressing keeps the meal balanced and fresh.
Sale items used: California Pizza Kitchen or DiGiorno Detroit Style Pizza ($5.99 each), Nature's Promise Salad Blend ($1.99 each), Litehouse Dressing ($2.99 each)
Prep time: 25 minutes (mostly oven time)
Serving note: One frozen pizza is technically more than one serving - enjoy a generous portion tonight and save the remaining slices for lunch the next day, making this an excellent value. Use about half the bag of salad blend for the side salad and save the rest for weekend snacking.
