Why these meals: This week Piggly Wiggly is genuinely stacked with chicken deals, so chicken anchors three of the five weeknights and keeps the per-person cost very low. The boneless skinless chicken breast at $1.79/lb is the best pure value on the entire flyer, and the whole chicken at $1.69/lb is close behind, so those two carry Monday and Tuesday respectively. Ground chuck at $5.49/lb is a reasonable mid-week choice that makes a satisfying and filling burger-style bowl, and smoked rope sausage rounds out Thursday as a flavorful, fuss-free skillet dinner. The New York strip steaks earned the one premium night on Friday because, even at $6.79/lb, they are an easy crowd-pleaser that can be seared quickly and dressed up with sale produce, making them the most appealing splurge option on the flyer compared to the wings, which cost nearly as much but feel less like a proper dinner. The Tyson wings were skipped on the economical nights because at $4.99/lb they sit in an awkward middle zone, not cheap enough to be everyday and not special enough to be the premium pick. All pork, ham, and shellfish items were skipped entirely, and the Hebrew National beef hot dogs, while kosher-certified, were saved for a possible lunch and do not appear at dinner this week.
