Piggly Wiggly Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week at Piggly Wiggly, you get a different protein every night in dishes kids already know: chicken rice bowls on Monday, spaghetti with ground chuck on Tuesday, sheet-pan smoked sausage on Wednesday, pancakes with eggs and bacon on Thursday, and turkey shepherd's pie on Friday. A few buys do double duty, so the 10 lb bag of Idaho potatoes ($3.99) covers both Wednesday and Friday, and the two bags of Sargento Shreds ($5.00) go to Tuesday's spaghetti and Friday's shepherd's pie. Monday's bowls let the kids build their own, and since Friday's dinner takes the longest, mash the potatoes and cook the turkey filling earlier in the day so you only have to assemble and bake at dinner time.
