Lidl Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Since you're shopping at Lidl for four, this plan is built on naturally gluten-free staples, starting with one 3.5 lb Smithfield pork loin at $6.27 that covers both Monday's pan-seared medallions and Friday's egg fried rice. The 48 oz bag of long grain rice at $2.39 stretches across Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, while Tuesday's ground beef lettuce cups skip it for something lighter. Wednesday's baked chicken breast (2 lbs for $3.98) and Thursday's garlic butter gulf shrimp keep the week from feeling repetitive. The mini avocados work double duty in Tuesday's lettuce cups and Thursday's avocado tomato salad, so the 6 ct pack gets fully used. Just pick up a gluten-free tamari for Friday and check the label before it goes in the pan.
