5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Ground Beef and Fusilli Pasta with Cherry Tomato Sauce
Description: Seasoned ground beef is browned in a skillet and tossed with al dente fusilli pasta and a bright cherry tomato sauce for a satisfying weeknight dinner for two. A drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs finish the dish beautifully.
Sale items used: Fresh ground beef 85% lean ($10.99/32 oz.), Italiamo fusilli pasta ($2.99/17.6 oz.), Italiamo cherry tomato sauce ($1.69/11.6 oz.)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 1 lb (16 oz.) of ground beef for two people, leaving the remaining 1 lb for another use or freeze it. Use half the bag of fusilli (about 8.8 oz. dry) and one full jar of cherry tomato sauce. Make-ahead note: brown the beef ahead of time and refrigerate; reheat with sauce while pasta cooks to keep total active time under 20 minutes.
Tuesday
Meal: Air-Fried Crispy Wings with Roasted Yellow Potatoes and Nocellara Olives
Description: Perdue Air Fryer Ready crispy wings cook up golden and crunchy while yellow potatoes roast alongside with olive oil and seasoning for a hearty two-person meal. Whole nocellara olives add a briny, savory contrast on the side.

Wednesday
Meal: Del Real Birria Tacos with Tortilla Chips and Bruschetta Topping
Description: Rich, slow-cooked Del Real birria is warmed and spooned into tacos for a bold and flavorful meal for two, with the consomme used for dipping. Crunchy tortilla chips are served alongside with bruschetta topping as a fresh, herby dip.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Fried Fish Sticks with Roasted Yellow Potatoes and Balsamic Glaze Drizzle
Description: Crispy pan-fried fish sticks are served over a bed of golden roasted yellow potatoes left over from the 5 lb. bag, finished with a sweet balsamic glaze drizzle for an easy and satisfying dinner for two. The balsamic glaze adds an elegant touch to a simple, budget-friendly plate.
Sale items used: Frozen fish sticks ($2.99/15.8 oz.), Italiamo balsamic glaze ($1.99/8.4 fl. oz.), Yellow potatoes (already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use the full 15.8 oz. box of fish sticks split between two people (about 7-8 sticks each). Cube and roast the remaining yellow potatoes from Tuesday's purchase (approximately 1.5 lbs). Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze per plate just before serving.
Friday
Meal: Del Real Grilled Chicken and Vegetables Fajita Kit Skillet with Tortilla Chips
Description: The Del Real fajita kit comes fully prepped with grilled chicken and vegetables, making this a quick and flavorful skillet meal for two that is ready in minutes. Serve with the remaining tortilla chips from Wednesday for scooping and dipping.
