5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Assorted Pork Chops with Roasted Broccoli and Buttered Egg Noodles

Sale items used: Assorted Pork Chops (Family Pack) at $1.59/lb, Broccoli Crowns at $1.99/lb
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of assorted pork chops (2 chops, about 0.5 lb each) for $1.59; purchase approximately 0.75 lb of broccoli crowns for $1.49; use egg noodles from pantry. Toss broccoli with a little oil and roast at 400 degrees F while chops cook on the stovetop to keep everything finishing at the same time.
Tuesday
Meal: Baked Breaded Fish Fillets or Sticks with Baby Carrots and Heinz Dipping Sauce
Description: Crispy baked breaded fish fillets come out of the oven golden and flaky, making them a fun and familiar dinner that kids aged 5-12 will happily eat. Crunchy baby carrots and a side of Heinz dipping sauce add color and a little interactive fun to the plate.
Sale items used: Mrs. Paul's or Van De Kamp's Breaded Fish Fillets or Sticks (Family Size, 19-24.6 oz) at $5.99 each, Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb) at $0.99 each, Heinz Ketchup or Specialty Ketchup (13-20 oz) at $2.99 each

Serving note: One family-size box at $5.99 provides plenty of fillets or sticks for 2 people with leftovers; one 1 lb bag of baby carrots at $0.99 is more than enough for two servings; one bottle of Heinz dipping sauce at $2.99 will last well beyond this week. Bake fish per package directions, typically 18-22 minutes at 425 degrees F.

Wednesday
Meal: Jimmy Dean Sausage and Pasta Skillet with Classico Tomato Sauce
Description: Sliced Jimmy Dean sausage is browned in a skillet and tossed with pasta and Classico tomato sauce for a hearty one-pan dinner kids will ask for again. It comes together quickly on a weeknight and the familiar flavors of sausage and red sauce make it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Sale items used: Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage (16 oz) at $3.99 each, Classico Pasta Sauce (15-24 oz) at $2.49 each, Barilla Pasta (8.8-14.5 oz) at 2/$4.00
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: One 16 oz roll of Jimmy Dean sausage at $3.99 is the right amount for 2 people with a little left over; one jar of Classico sauce at $2.49 covers the full skillet; purchase one box of Barilla pasta (half of the 2/$4.00 deal, so $2.00 per box) and cook about half the box for two servings. Use the remaining pasta later in the week or store for another meal.
Thursday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Whole Chicken with Russet Potatoes and Baby Carrots
Description: A whole Springer Mountain Farms chicken is seasoned simply and roasted until the skin is golden and the meat is juicy, filling the kitchen with a smell kids love. Russet potatoes and baby carrots roast right alongside the chicken in the same pan for an easy, minimal-cleanup dinner.
Sale items used: Fresh Whole Chicken (Springer Mountain Farms) at $1.69/lb, Best Choice Russet Potatoes (5 lb bag) at $2.99 each, Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb) at $0.99 each
Prep time: 20 minutes prep, 75-90 minutes roasting
Serving note: A small whole chicken of approximately 3.5 lbs is ideal for 2 people, costing about $5.92 at $1.69/lb; the 5 lb bag of russet potatoes at $2.99 provides plenty for this meal and leftovers; use the second bag of baby carrots already purchased Tuesday or buy one additional bag at $0.99. Make-ahead note: season the chicken the night before and refrigerate uncovered for crispier skin and less active prep time on Thursday evening.
