Meijer Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week gives you five different proteins, one per night, from Monday's BBQ chicken drumsticks to Friday's sausage and tomato skillet, with no shells, rice or bread anywhere. The 1 lb of Dietz & Watson Cheese at $6.99 covers two nights, melting over Tuesday's taco bowls and again on Friday's skillet. The $4.99 bag of sweet onions works on four nights (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday), and the Cherub Tomatoes show up on Monday and Friday. Wednesday's pan-seared Atlantic Salmon with stuffed mushrooms ($15.98 for the two portions) and Thursday's mustard-glazed pork tenderloin ($5.24 for 1.5 lbs) round out the week.
