Meijer Gluten-Free Meal Plan

📅 Week of August 26 through September 01, 2026 🍽️ 4 people gluten-free

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: The real star of this week's flyer is the Pork Loin Assorted Chops at just $1.49/lb - that is one of the best meat prices you will find anywhere, and it anchors Monday's dinner for under $3 total. Jennie-O Ground Turkey at $3.99 a package is another standout, giving you a full pound of lean protein for about a dollar a serving. Chicken Wings at $2.79/lb and Boneless Chicken Tenderloins at $3.99/lb round out the economical nights with variety in both texture and cooking style. The Black Pearl Atlantic Salmon Burgers at $4.99 each are the clear premium pick this week - you need one per person, which adds up to nearly $20 just for the protein - but salmon burgers are a genuinely fun Friday dinner and the most interesting premium option on this flyer. The Swanson Broth and Ben's Original Ready Rice are both on sale and pull double duty across multiple meals, keeping the pantry spend lean. The Certified Angus Beef Boneless Ribeye at $14.99/lb was deliberately skipped because even a modest portion for four people would push the weekly total well past a comfortable range on its own.
