Giant Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan keeps dinners meatless and varied by letting a few Giant sale items do double duty: canned beans anchor both Monday's burrito bowls and Friday's pita pockets, and the carton of eggs becomes Tuesday's crisp skillet hash. Wednesday's ricotta-stuffed baked squash and Thursday's pasta with plum tomatoes and mozzarella add cheesy, filling protein, and you can roast the squash a day ahead to keep Wednesday easy. Broccoli covers both Tuesday and Thursday, and plum tomatoes show up Thursday and Friday, so the 2 lbs of each on your list get used up. The five cans of beans are only $4.45 together, and the second salsa or guacamole in the 2-for-$7.00 pack is saved for Friday, so nothing sits forgotten in the fridge.
