Kroger Low-Carb Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week keeps carbs low by building every dinner around meat, seafood, eggs, cheese, and simple vegetables, so there are no buns, breadcrumbs, or sugary glazes to worry about. Your Kroger 80% Lean Ground Beef (2.5 lbs for $12.48) covers two nights, Monday's bacon cheeseburger skillet and Thursday's baked meatballs, and the three Kroger Cheese at $3.87 make appearances on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. One package of Kroger Carrots ($1.99) is split between Tuesday's sheet-pan spiral ham (2 lbs for $3.98) and Wednesday's broiled lobster tails, which are your big treat of the week at $24.00 for four tails. Thursday and Friday share the $4.99 carton of Simple Truth Cage-Free Eggs and the $2.99 package of Nature Sweet Glorys Tomatoes, so you can finish the week with a easy tomato and cheese frittata.
