BUDGET RATIONALE

Protein ranking (most economical to most expensive per serving for 4 people):
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts: $2.59/lb - 2 lbs for 4 people = $5.18 total, about $1.30/serving

- Butterball Fresh 85% Lean Ground Round: $2.99/lb - 1.5 lbs for 4 people = $4.49 total, about $1.12/serving
- USDA Choice Black Canyon Angus Family Pack Boneless Beef Cube Steaks: $6.99/lb - 2 lbs for 4 people = $13.98 total, about $3.50/serving
- USDA Choice Black Canyon Angus Family Pack Boneless Beef Top Round Steaks: $7.49/lb - 2 lbs for 4 people = $14.98 total, about $3.75/serving

Ground turkey and ground round are neck-and-neck at $2.99/lb and anchor two of the most affordable nights this week. Chicken breasts at $2.59/lb are actually the cheapest per pound on the kosher-compliant list and make for a very economical dinner. The beef cube steaks at $6.99/lb are the least expensive of the three beef steak options and earn the one premium night - they cost noticeably less per serving than the top round or sirloin, making them the smartest steak pick on this flyer. The top sirloin at $8.99/lb was skipped entirely because it would push the weekly total well past the $18/person ceiling on its own. With two chicken nights and two ground-meat nights anchoring the week, the cube steak night fits comfortably without blowing the budget.
