Lidl Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Since you're shopping low-carb at Lidl, the week opens with Monday's pork loin medallions (1.5 lbs for $2.69) and closes with Friday's chicken breast in a creamy cheese sauce. In between are ground beef lettuce cups on Tuesday, garlic butter shrimp on Wednesday, and baby back ribs on Thursday. Tomatoes on the vine turn up on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the red onions cover Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, so one pack of each goes a long way. The two heads of iceberg become Tuesday's lettuce cups and Thursday's wedge salad, and the mini avocados at $1.99 add richness on Tuesday and Friday. Thursday's ribs take over two hours in the oven, so season them the night before and the evening stays easy.
