Why these meals: Pork chops at $2.49/lb and Italian sausage at $3.49/lb are the real workhorses of this week, each feeding four people for well under $6, so they anchor two of the five nights with completely different flavor profiles - one pan-seared with tomatoes and one simmered with peppers and potatoes. Polska Kielbasa and organic chicken drumsticks round out the economical nights with a smoky skillet dinner and a baked drumstick meal, keeping every one of those four nights under $2.25 per person for protein alone. Pollock at $6.99/lb earns the one premium night because it is the least expensive seafood option on this flyer by a wide margin - haddock runs nearly $5 per serving versus pollock's $3.50, and swordfish or wolffish would push the week well over budget. The combination of produce deals like $0.99/lb tomatoes, $1.00 for two cucumbers, and $1.50 frozen vegetables keeps the supporting cast affordable and the full five-night total comfortably within range.
