Why these meals: Ground turkey and ground round are the two best deals on this flyer at roughly $1.12 per serving each, so they anchor two of the weeknight dinners. Boneless skinless chicken breasts at $2.59/lb are a reliable mid-week workhorse at about $1.30 per serving, and pork chops at $3.99/lb round out the economical half of the week at roughly $2.00 per serving. The beef cube steaks at $6.99/lb are the most affordable of the steak options and earn the one premium night at about $3.50 per serving, a noticeably better value than the sirloin, top round, swai, or shrimp also on the flyer this week. The sirloin, top round, swai, and shrimp were all skipped because their per-serving costs would push the weekly total well above the comfortable range for a family of four.
