Why these meals: This week's best anchors are boneless skinless chicken breast at $1.79/lb and tenderized boneless pork chops at $2.49/lb, both of which give you a full generous dinner for four for well under $6. The Eck Rich smoked sausage at $2.99 a pack is a flavorful and satisfying weeknight protein that pairs beautifully with low-carb vegetables. The whole chicken at $1.69/lb is the standout deal of the flyer and makes a rich, hands-off roasted dinner that feeds four for about $6-7. For the one premium night, the New York Strip at $6.79/lb is the only true steakhouse cut on the flyer, and two pounds feeds four people a proper restaurant-style dinner for around $13-14, making it the best value for a Friday treat. The tilapia was deliberately skipped because even on sale you would need multiple small 8-oz packs to feed four people, pushing the cost far beyond anything else on the flyer.
