Piggly Wiggly Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The four everyday nights lean on the cheapest proteins on this flyer: bone-in chicken breasts at $1.69/lb, bone-in sirloin pork chops at $1.69/lb, Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage at $3.99 for the package, and Fresh Ground Chuck at $4.99/lb - all genuinely low-cost cuts that keep each of those nights well under $2 per person just for protein. The single premium night goes to Sea Best Frozen Fresh Tilapia Fillets at $4.79 each, which is the most affordable seafood option on the flyer and a much better value than the flounder or the sirloin steaks. The Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes at 2 for $7.00 and Birds Eye Vegetables at $4.99 anchor the sides across multiple nights without overlap, and the Old El Paso Taco Seasoning at $0.99 adds a flavor punch to the ground chuck night for almost nothing. This is a flyer with a strong lean toward economical pork and chicken cuts, which works very well for a budget-conscious gluten-free week.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Bone-In Chicken Breasts with Roasted Red Potatoes and Bell Peppers
Description: Bone-in chicken breasts are seasoned and seared in a skillet until golden, then finished in the oven alongside cubed red potatoes and sliced bell peppers for a colorful, satisfying one-pan dinner. The potatoes soak up the chicken drippings and the peppers soften into a sweet, savory side that rounds out the plate beautifully.
Sale items used: Bone-In Chicken Breasts Family Pack Fresh/Previously Frozen, Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (5 lb bag), Red, Yellow or Orange Bell Peppers
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase 2 lbs of bone-in chicken breasts (roughly 1 large breast per person), 1 bag of Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (use about 1.5 lbs of the 5 lb bag for this meal), and 2 bell peppers (1 pack of 2 for $3.00). Total time is about 55 minutes; no make-ahead needed.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Ground Chuck Taco Bowls with Rice and Avocado
Description: Seasoned ground chuck is browned in a skillet with Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, then spooned over Ben's Original Ready Rice and topped with diced beefsteak tomato, sliced avocado, and a dollop of Mayfield Sour Cream. Each bowl is hearty and fresh, with the creamy avocado and cool sour cream balancing the warm, spiced beef.
Sale items used: Fresh Ground Chuck Family Pack, Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, Ben's Original Ready Rice, Beefsteak Tomatoes, Avocados, Mayfield Sour Cream
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1.5 lbs of Fresh Ground Chuck, 1 packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning ($0.99), 2 pouches of Ben's Original Ready Rice (2 for $5.00), about 0.75 lb of beefsteak tomatoes (roughly 2 medium tomatoes), 3 avocados (1 pack of 3 for $2.00), and 1 container of Mayfield Sour Cream ($1.99). Each person gets a generous rice bowl with about 6 oz of seasoned beef.

Wednesday
Meal: Simmered Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage and Cabbage with Potatoes
Description: Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage is sliced and browned in a large pot, then simmered together with shredded green cabbage and cubed potatoes in a savory broth until everything is tender and the flavors meld into a comforting, rustic one-pot meal. This is a naturally gluten-free dish with deep, hearty flavor from the pork fat rendering into the vegetables.
Sale items used: Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage (16 oz), Green Cabbage, Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (5 lb bag)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 package (16 oz) of Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage, about 1.5 lbs of green cabbage (roughly half a small head), and about 1.5 lbs of potatoes from the second 5 lb bag purchased Monday. The 5 lb bag purchased Monday has plenty remaining; no second bag needed this night.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Fried Sea Best Tilapia Fillets with Roasted Potatoes and Steamed Birds Eye Vegetables
Description: Sea Best Frozen Fresh Tilapia Fillets are thawed, seasoned with Lawry's Seasoned Salt, and pan-fried in butter until golden and flaky, served alongside oven-roasted potato wedges and steamed Birds Eye Vegetables for a complete, colorful plate. The mild, tender tilapia pairs well with the crispy potatoes and bright vegetables, making this an easy weeknight dinner that feels a little special.
Sale items used: Sea Best Frozen Fresh Tilapia Fillets (16 oz), Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (5 lb bag), Birds Eye Vegetables (32 oz), Best Choice Butter (16 oz), Lawry's Seasoned Salt (16 oz)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 2 packages of Sea Best Frozen Fresh Tilapia Fillets (2 x $4.79 = $9.58) to yield about 4 fillets for 4 people. Use remaining potatoes from the bag purchased earlier in the week (about 1.5 lbs of wedges). Use 1 bag of Birds Eye Vegetables ($4.99). Purchase 1 container of Best Choice Butter ($3.99) and 1 bottle of Lawry's Seasoned Salt ($3.99) - both will be used again Friday and kept as pantry staples after this week. Thaw tilapia in the refrigerator overnight for best results.

Friday
Meal: Stovetop-Braised Bone-In Sirloin Pork Chops with Sauteed Bell Peppers and Sour Cream Topping
Description: Bone-in sirloin pork chops are browned in a skillet and then braised low and slow with sliced bell peppers and beefsteak tomatoes until the chops are cooked through and the peppers are silky and saucy. Each chop is served topped with a spoonful of Mayfield Sour Cream and a side of Sargento Shreds melted over the top for a rich, satisfying finish.
Sale items used: Bone-In Sirloin Pork Chops Family Pack Fresh, Red, Yellow or Orange Bell Peppers, Beefsteak Tomatoes, Mayfield Sour Cream, Sargento Shreds
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 50 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase 2 lbs of Bone-In Sirloin Pork Chops (roughly 1 chop per person), 2 bell peppers (1 pack of 2 for $3.00), about 0.5 lb of beefsteak tomatoes (1 medium tomato), 1 container of Mayfield Sour Cream ($1.99), and 1 bag of Sargento Shreds ($2.99). Total braising time is about 45-50 minutes; start the chops by 5:15 for a 6:00 dinner.
