Piggly Wiggly Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The star of this week is the Fresh Whole Boneless Pork Loin at just $1.99/lb, which is one of the best meat prices you will find anywhere and anchors Monday's dinner for about $4 total. Pork chops at $2.39/lb and chicken tenderloins at $2.59/lb are both outstanding everyday values and fill two more nights without stretching the budget. Earl Campbell's Smoked Sausage at 2 for $5.00 is a fun, kid-friendly pick that rounds out a fourth economical night. For the one premium night, the Mowi Single Serve Salmon Fillets at $5.00 each are the most practical premium choice this week because the 6 oz single-serve format means zero waste and no guessing on portions - four fillets feed four people cleanly. The New York Strip at $12.99/lb and the shrimp at $16.99 for 2 lbs were deliberately skipped because both push well above what a budget week can absorb, and the salmon delivers a fun, different Friday-night feel at a fraction of those costs.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Pork Loin Slices with Buttered Red Potatoes
Description: Thick slices cut from the whole boneless pork loin are seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then seared in a skillet until golden and cooked through - a method kids recognize and love. Diced red potatoes are boiled until tender and tossed with Blue Bonnet Spread for a buttery, comforting side.
Sale items used: Fresh Whole Boneless Pork Loins (Sliced Free), Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (5 lb bag), Blue Bonnet Spread Bowl (45 oz)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 lbs of pork loin, sliced into 4 portions (ask the butcher to slice free at checkout). Use approximately 1.5 lbs of potatoes from the 5 lb bag. One 5 lb bag of potatoes will be used across multiple meals this week.
Recipes:
- One-Pan Roast Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Ground Chuck Cheeseburger Pasta
Description: Browned ground chuck is stirred together with cooked pasta, Ragu cheese pasta sauce, and melted Kraft Singles for a creamy, cheesy one-pan dinner that tastes like a cheeseburger in pasta form - a guaranteed kid crowd-pleaser. Everything comes together in one skillet in well under 30 minutes of active cooking.
Sale items used: Fresh Ground Chuck (Family Pack), IrResistable Pasta (14.5 oz), Ragu Alfredo or Cheese Pasta Sauce or Kettle Cooked Pasta Sauce, Kraft Singles (10.7-12 oz, Selected Varieties)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1.5 lbs of ground chuck. Use 1 package of IrResistable Pasta and 1 jar of Ragu cheese pasta sauce (2 for $4.00 deal - buy 2 to use the second jar later in the week or as a pantry backup). Use 4 slices of Kraft Singles stirred in at the end. Kraft Singles require purchase of 5 participating products to get the sale price; plan your cart accordingly.
Wednesday
Meal: Baked Chicken Tenderloins with Corn on the Cob
Description: Fresh boneless skinless chicken tenderloins are coated in a simple seasoned breadcrumb mixture and baked until crispy and golden - familiar chicken tender flavor kids adore, made at home. Birds Eye corn on the cob rounds out the plate with a sweet, easy side that needs no prep beyond the microwave or boiling.
Sale items used: Fresh Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenderloins (Previously Frozen), Birds Eye Corn on the Cob (6 ct)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 lbs of chicken tenderloins. Use 1 bag of Birds Eye Corn on the Cob (6 ct) - 4 of the 6 ears serve the family, with 2 ears leftover. Breadcrumb coating uses pantry staples.
Thursday
Meal: Smoked Sausage and Potato Skillet with Tomatoes
Description: Earl Campbell's Smoked Sausage is sliced into coins and pan-fried until browned, then tossed with diced cooked red potatoes and fresh tomatoes on the vine for a hearty, colorful one-pan dinner kids find fun and filling. The smoky sausage flavor does all the heavy lifting with no complicated seasoning needed.
Sale items used: Earl Campbell's Smoked Sausage (12-13 oz), Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes (5 lb bag), Tomatoes On The Vine
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 packages of Earl Campbell's Smoked Sausage (2 for $5.00). Use approximately 1.5 lbs of potatoes from the same 5 lb bag purchased Monday. Use about 0.75 lbs of tomatoes on the vine, roughly 2 medium tomatoes.
Recipes:
- Easy Skillet Smoked Sausage and Potatoes
Friday
Meal: Oven-Baked Mowi Salmon Fillets with Buttered Corn
Description: Four Mowi Single Serve Salmon Fillets are seasoned with a little butter, salt, and lemon pepper, then baked in the oven for about 12 to 14 minutes for a mild, flaky fish dinner that is approachable even for kids who are new to seafood. The remaining Birds Eye corn on the cob from Wednesday makes a sweet, no-fuss side that pairs perfectly.
Sale items used: Mowi Single Serve Salmon Fillets (6 oz), Birds Eye Corn on the Cob (6 ct), Blue Bonnet Spread Bowl (45 oz)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Buy 4 individual Mowi Single Serve Salmon Fillets at $5.00 each - one per person, no portioning needed. Use the 2 remaining ears of corn from the Birds Eye bag purchased Wednesday. Blue Bonnet Spread Bowl was purchased Monday and is used again here.
