Why these meals: This week's best protein deals are clearly the chicken and ham options. Boneless skinless chicken breast at $1.79/lb is an outstanding price and anchors one dinner easily, while a whole roasted chicken at $1.69/lb gives you the most meat per dollar of anything on the flyer. The smoked ham at $1.79/lb for the shank portion is a slow-cooker dream that stretches beautifully across a full family dinner. Tenderized pork chops at $2.49/lb round out the week with a fast weeknight option. The New York strip at $6.79/lb is the most practical premium pick for one special night since tilapia at $9.99 for just 8 oz would cost nearly $40 to feed four people properly and was skipped entirely. The corn deal at 4 ears for $2 and beefsteak tomatoes at $0.99/lb make it easy to build colorful, satisfying sides without spending much.
