Piggly Wiggly Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Braised Chicken Leg Quarters with Broccoli and Onion
Description: Two chicken leg quarters are seasoned and slowly braised in a skillet until the skin is golden and the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. Broccoli florets and sliced onion are added to the pan to soak up the savory juices, making a complete low-carb meal for one.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters ($0.79/lb), Broccoli Crowns ($1.99/lb), Always Save Onions 2 lb bag (2/$3.00)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes total
Serving note: Use approximately 1 lb of leg quarters (2 quarters) at an estimated cost of $0.79. Use about 0.4 lb of broccoli crowns. Use roughly one-quarter of a 2 lb onion bag. Total cook time is about 45 minutes - start the chicken first and add the vegetables in the final 15 minutes so nothing overcooks.
Tuesday
Meal: Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin Sliced and Pan-Seared with Zucchini
Description: Thick slices of Smithfield marinated pork tenderloin are pan-seared over high heat until caramelized on the outside and juicy inside. Sliced zucchini is cooked alongside in the same skillet, picking up all the savory drippings for a fast, flavorful low-carb dinner.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins (18.4-23 oz, $4.99 each), Zucchini or Yellow Squash ($1.49/lb)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase one Smithfield tenderloin package ($4.99). Cook roughly half the tenderloin (about 9-10 oz) for tonight and refrigerate the rest for another meal this week or lunches. Use about 0.5 lb of zucchini. The tenderloin is already marinated so no additional seasoning is needed.
Wednesday
Meal: Carolina Pride Pork Sausage and Broccoli Skillet with Melted Cheese
Description: Crumbled Carolina Pride pork sausage is browned in a skillet with fresh broccoli florets until everything is cooked through and slightly crispy at the edges. Shredded cheese is melted over the top right before serving for a rich, satisfying low-carb skillet meal.
Sale items used: Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Roll (16 oz, $2.99 each), Broccoli Crowns ($1.99/lb), Best Choice Cheese 6-8 oz (2/$4.00)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use about half the 16 oz sausage roll (roughly 8 oz) for one serving and freeze the remainder. Use about 0.4 lb of broccoli crowns. Purchase one 6-8 oz block of Best Choice cheese at $2.00 (half of the 2/$4.00 deal - buy two to get the deal and use the second block later in the week). Shred or slice about 1.5 oz of cheese over the finished skillet.
Thursday
Meal: Family Pack Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs Braised with Onion and Tomato
Description: A generous portion of boneless country style pork ribs is slowly braised with sliced onion and diced fresh tomato until the meat is tender and the braising liquid reduces into a rich, savory sauce. This low-carb braise is hearty and deeply flavored with minimal effort.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs ($2.19/lb), Always Save Onions 2 lb bag (2/$3.00), Hothouse Beefsteak Tomatoes ($1.49/lb)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 75 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb of country style pork ribs for one person, estimated cost $1.64. Use about one-quarter of the onion bag. Use one small beefsteak tomato, roughly 0.25 lb. Total cook time is about 75-80 minutes - this braise can be started early and held warm on low heat, or made the night before and reheated.

Friday
Meal: Family Pack Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops Pan-Seared with Zucchini and Dole Salad Kit
Description: A boneless sirloin pork chop is seasoned simply and pan-seared to a golden crust, then served alongside sauteed zucchini and a portion of a fresh Dole salad kit for a complete low-carb plate. The salad kit adds crunch and a ready-made dressing so the whole meal comes together in under 25 minutes.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops ($2.19/lb), Zucchini or Yellow Squash ($1.49/lb), Dole Salad Kit 7.1-13.3 oz ($3.99 each)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of sirloin pork chops (one chop), estimated cost $1.10. Use about 0.5 lb of zucchini. Purchase one Dole Salad Kit and use half for this meal - check the kit label and skip or reduce any croutons or sweet dressings included to keep net carbs under 20g.
