Why these meals: The anchor of this week is the BOGO 40% off ground beef, which works out to under $1.20 per pound and is genuinely one of the best protein deals on the entire flyer, so it earns two appearances in different flavor profiles. Chicken thighs at $3.19/lb are another standout, giving you juicy, forgiving pieces that are hard to beat at that price. Ground turkey at $4.99 a package rounds out the everyday nights with a lighter option. The smoked salmon earned the one premium night because the BOGO 40% off deal brings it closer to an accessible price point than the sirloin steak at nearly $12 a pound, and salmon works beautifully as a no-cook or quick-prep centerpiece that keeps the rest of the meal simple and inexpensive. Pork cuts, bratwurst, bacon, and shellfish are excluded entirely to keep all five dinners strictly kosher.
