Piggly Wiggly Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan leans on simple, familiar flavors your kids will actually eat without a fuss, from Monday's baked chicken leg quarters with mashed potatoes and corn to Tuesday's sloppy joes piled high on Hawaiian rolls. Wednesday keeps things easy with grilled pork steaks and sliced tomatoes, while Thursday brings back that same sweet corn alongside a quick skillet sausage dinner the whole family can help make. Friday closes the week with a gentler option, baked salmon fillets with rice and steamed vegetables, giving everyone a nice change of pace before the weekend. Sweet Bi-Color Corn shows up twice, on Monday and Thursday, so you get good use out of that sale item, and sale picks like Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters at $1.38 and Family Pack Fresh Pork Steaks at $4.38 help stretch your cart further. Every dinner is straightforward to prep and built around proteins and sides kids already recognize and enjoy.
