5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Spaghetti with Tomato, Basil & Garlic Sauce and Shaved Parmesan
Description: A classic and satisfying weeknight pasta for two, built on thin spaghetti tossed in a ready-made tomato, basil, and garlic sauce and finished with a generous shower of shredded Parmesan. The whole dish comes together in under 20 minutes and leans entirely on pantry sale finds for maximum value.
Sale items used: Combino thin spaghetti (16 oz.), Combino tomato, basil & garlic pasta sauce (24 oz.), Combino shredded Parmesan cheese (5 oz.)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use half the 16 oz. box of spaghetti (about 8 oz.) for two generous portions; use roughly half the 24 oz. jar of sauce and save the rest for the week; top each bowl with about 1 oz. of shredded Parmesan from the 5 oz. bag.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Fried RANA Gnocchi with Broccolini and Sliced Sharp Cheddar
Description: Pillowy RANA gnocchi are pan-fried in a little olive oil until golden and crispy on the outside, then tossed with quickly sauteed broccolini and topped with melted slices of sharp cheddar for a rich, satisfying dinner for two. The combination of textures - crispy gnocchi, tender broccolini, and gooey cheese - makes this a weeknight standout.
Sale items used: RANA gnocchi (12 oz.), Broccolini (6 oz.), Milbona sliced sharp cheddar cheese (16 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: The full 12 oz. package of gnocchi serves two perfectly; use the entire 6 oz. package of broccolini; lay 2 to 3 slices of cheddar per person over the hot gnocchi just before serving so it melts naturally.
Wednesday
Meal: Baked Cheese and Sweetpops Tomato Pizza on Jus Rol Pizza Dough with Arugula
Description: A fresh homemade-style pizza for two, built on Jus Rol pizza dough and topped with sliced sharp cheddar and halved Sweetpops tomatoes, then baked until bubbly and finished with a handful of peppery baby arugula right before serving. The bright tomatoes and fresh arugula balance the richness of the melted cheese beautifully.
Sale items used: Jus Rol pizza dough (14.1 oz.), Sweetpops tomatoes (1.5 lb.), Milbona sliced sharp cheddar cheese (already purchased Tuesday), Peak Harvest organic baby arugula (5 oz.)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: The full 14.1 oz. dough sheet makes one pizza that comfortably feeds two; use about half the 1.5 lb. container of Sweetpops tomatoes, halved; scatter 4 to 5 slices of cheddar across the pizza; top with about half the 5 oz. bag of arugula after baking.

Thursday
Meal: Simmered Mrs. T's Pierogies with Crispy Fried Onions and Red Bell Pepper
Description: Mrs. T's classic onion pierogies are simmered until tender, then finished in a hot pan with sliced red bell pepper and topped with a generous handful of crispy fried onions for crunch and savory depth. This hearty vegetarian dinner for two is ready in about 25 minutes and feels far more indulgent than the effort involved.
Sale items used: Mrs. T's frozen pierogies classic onion (32 oz.), Red bell peppers (2 ct.), Kania crispy fried onions (17.6 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about 16 oz. (roughly half the 32 oz. bag, approximately 8 pierogies) for two people; use both red bell peppers, sliced thin; top each plate with a generous 2 to 3 tablespoon handful of crispy fried onions from the family-size bag - the remainder keeps well in the pantry.
Friday
Meal: Pan-Heated Vitasia Frozen Edamame Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce and Avocado
Description: Vitasia's edamame spring rolls are pan-heated until crispy and golden, then served alongside creamy sliced avocado and a generous bowl of sweet chili sauce for dipping - a light yet satisfying end-of-week meal for two. The cool, buttery avocado is a perfect contrast to the crispy, savory rolls.
Sale items used: Vitasia frozen edamame spring rolls with sweet chili sauce (8.8 oz.), Large avocados (2 ct.)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: The full 8.8 oz. package of spring rolls serves two as a main with sides; buy 2 individual avocados at $0.69 each and slice one per person alongside the rolls; the sweet chili dipping sauce is included in the spring roll package.
