Meijer Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week leans on Meijer sale items that work across more than one dinner: one $1.99 bag of russet potatoes and one $1.79 bag of yellow onions cover both Tuesday's ground beef hash and Thursday's braised chuck roast, so you buy once and use twice. Chicken shows up twice in different forms, thighs with sweet potatoes on Monday and crisp orange-glazed wings on Friday, and beef also lands twice, as ground beef on Tuesday and chuck roast on Thursday. Wednesday's bone-in portion ham gets a $0.99 pack of fresh cranberries and garlicky greens, and one bag of long-grain rice covers both Wednesday and Friday. Every dinner is gluten-free as written, so just check labels on the ham, the beef broth and the baking powder when you shop.
