Lidl Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Note: the ranking above is listed by per-serving cost, so the sliced steaks ($1.00) are listed to match; please read the order as eggs, kielbasa, steaks, wings and pork chops, sausage, tenders, London broil, salmon.
Why these meals: This week brings a different protein most nights: party wings on Monday, pork rib chops on Tuesday, kielbasa and eggs on Wednesday and salmon on Thursday, followed by a meatless spaghetti Alfredo on Friday. A few buys work twice so nothing goes to waste. The $1.99 bag of lemons covers Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, the $2.49 box of spaghetti stretches to Tuesday and Friday, and the $2.49 sourdough round is split between Thursday and Friday. Tuesday's pound of brussels sprouts also shows up next to Thursday's salmon, so you only buy them once. The salmon at $11.99 is the one treat, and every dinner takes between 25 and 50 minutes.
