Meijer Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Meijer's sale shelf shaped this week, and a few buys do double duty. The $1.50 pack of two broccoli crowns covers both Monday's frittata and Tuesday's baked mac and cheese. The 8 lbs of squash at $7.92 becomes butternut soup on Wednesday and spaghetti squash boats on Thursday, so roast both batches together to save time. Apples (3 lbs for $2.97) go into Wednesday's soup and come back sliced on the side of Friday's bread pizzas, and the two loaves of Italian bread at $2.00 cover Wednesday's grilled cheese and those same pizzas. Cheese in some form is on the table every night, from the frittata to the cottage cheese in the squash boats, so you never have to hunt for a protein.
