Lidl Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week you get five different dinners with no repeats: pork loin on Monday, whiting tacos on Tuesday, chicken breast cacciatore on Wednesday, chicken sausage and egg wraps on Thursday, and garlic shrimp on Friday. One $2.39 bag of rice covers Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the $1.59 bag of red onions also stretches across those same three nights. The $1.89 pack of flour tortillas becomes fish tacos on Tuesday and scramble wraps on Thursday, and the iceberg head is shared between those two nights as well. Everything is dairy-free, cooked with olive or canola oil, so the whole week works for the table without any substitutions.
