VEGETARIAN NOTE

This week's Kroger flyer is heavily skewed toward meat and seafood with very few vegetarian proteins on sale. All meat and seafood items are excluded per the dietary requirement. Vegetarian proteins will be drawn from the following confirmed sale items: Impossible Entree (frozen, $6.99), Spreadable Cheese ($2.99), Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt ($4.79), Eggo Protein Waffles ($5.99), and Totino's Pizza Rolls ($3.49), along with the strong produce sale items. Pantry staples such as eggs, canned beans, lentils, tofu, and pasta will be noted in the pantry staples section to fill protein gaps across the week.
