Piggly Wiggly Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Since you're shopping Piggly Wiggly for four on a dairy-free plan, I built the week around 8 lbs of Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters at $6.32, which cover both Monday's roasted chicken with potatoes and Friday's soy-garlic braise over rice. Pork gets two nights too, with sirloin chops on Tuesday and country style ribs on Wednesday, and Thursday's ground chuck chili rounds out the week with sliced avocado standing in for cheese. The two-bag deals do a lot of the work: Green Giant Potatoes (2 for $6.00) go into Monday's roast and Wednesday's baked potatoes, and Baby Bella Mushrooms (2 for $5.00) show up on Tuesday and Friday. Just check the Best Choice Frozen Vegetables labels for butter or cheese sauce, and skip the cheese packet in the Dole Garden Salad bags on Wednesday and Thursday.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters with Roasted Potatoes and Frozen Vegetables
Description: Fryer leg quarters roast at high heat with chunks of potato until the skin is crisp and the potatoes are golden. A bag of Best Choice Frozen Vegetables is steamed on the side for an easy, filling dinner.
