Kroger Gluten-Free Meal Plan

📅 Week of October 07 through October 13, 2026 🍽️ 4 people gluten-free

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week you buy two packs of Private Selection Gourmet Potatoes for $7.00 and use them on Monday in the smoked sausage skillet and on Wednesday in the turkey hash with fried eggs, so nothing sits in the fridge. Kroger Tri-Color Peppers show up on both Monday and Thursday, first pan-fried with the sausage and then stuffed with ground beef, cheese and rice. Tuesday brings fresh Atlantic Salmon at $13.49 for 1.5 lbs, served with broccoli and Ben's Original Ready Rice, and Friday finishes with quick pan-seared chicken over a Dole Salad Kit. Since most of the cooking happens in one skillet, your main job at Kroger is to check the labels on the sausage, rice and salad dressing, and to toss the croutons from the salad kit.
