Meijer Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week you get plenty of variety: chicken thighs on Monday, ground chuck sliders on Tuesday, pork chops on Wednesday, sausage casserole on Thursday and chicken tenderloins on Friday. A few shared ingredients keep the cart simple. The 2 lbs of Bulk Granny Smith or Gala Apples at $1.98 cover both Wednesday's pan sauce and Thursday's casserole, and the sweet onions split between Monday and Wednesday. The two Sargento packages ($2.00) go to Tuesday's sliders and Thursday's casserole, while the Pascal Celery bunch ($1.79) and four bell peppers ($1.25) stretch across Thursday and Friday. Don't skip the $1.00 loaf of Fresh from Meijer Italian Classic Bread on Wednesday, because it's perfect for mopping up that apple and onion sauce.
