Piggly Wiggly Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The four everyday nights lean on Bone-In Sirloin Pork Chops at $1.69/lb, Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage at $3.99 for the package, Fresh Ground Chuck at $4.99/lb, and Bone-In Chicken Breasts at $1.69/lb - these are genuinely some of the best-priced proteins on the flyer and all work beautifully for low-carb cooking. The single premium night goes to the Smithfield Fully Cooked St. Louis Style Ribs at $11.99 for a full rack, which at roughly $3.00 per person is actually the most reasonable of the premium options this week - the beef sirloin steaks would have cost $4.00 per person and the shoulder roast would have taken well over an hour to braise properly. Bell peppers, cabbage, avocados, and iceberg lettuce all show up at strong prices and keep the vegetable side of the plate interesting without repeating.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Bone-In Sirloin Pork Chops with Sauteed Cabbage and Avocado
Description: Thick bone-in pork chops are seasoned and seared in a hot skillet until golden brown with a juicy interior, then served alongside tender pan-sauteed green cabbage. Sliced avocado adds creaminess and healthy fat to round out the plate.
Sale items used: Bone-In Sirloin Pork Chops Family Pack Fresh, Green Cabbage, Avocados, Best Choice Butter
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 2 lbs of Bone-In Sirloin Pork Chops (4 chops, roughly 0.5 lb each). Use 1 lb of Green Cabbage, sliced thin and sauteed in 2 tablespoons of Best Choice Butter. Slice 2 avocados (from the 3 for $2.00 deal) and divide among 4 plates.
Recipes:
- Pan-Seared Pork Chops
Tuesday
Meal: Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage and Egg Scramble with Bell Peppers
Description: Crumbled Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage is browned in a skillet with diced red and yellow bell peppers, then beaten eggs are folded in and scrambled together until just set. The result is a hearty, protein-packed skillet dinner with a savory, slightly smoky flavor.
Sale items used: Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage (16 oz), Red Yellow or Orange Bell Peppers, Vital Farm Pasture Raised Large Eggs (dozen), Sargento Shreds
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 package (16 oz) of Jimmy Dean Fresh Pork Roll Sausage and 2 bell peppers (1 package of 2 for $3.00). Crack 8 eggs from 1 dozen and scramble into the skillet. Top with 1 package (5-8 oz) of Sargento Shreds divided among 4 servings.
Recipes:
- Bell pepper sausage scramble
Wednesday
Meal: Smithfield Fully Cooked St. Louis Style Ribs with Dole Coleslaw (No-Sugar Dressing)
Description: The fully cooked rack of St. Louis style ribs is heated in the oven per package directions until warmed through and slightly caramelized on the edges, then cut into individual ribs for serving. Alongside, Dole Coleslaw is tossed with Best Choice Salad Dressing (choose a low-carb ranch or Italian variety) instead of a sugary coleslaw dressing, keeping net carbs in check.
Sale items used: Smithfield Fully Cooked St. Louis Style Ribs (1 rack), Dole Coleslaw (14 oz), Best Choice Salad Dressing
Prep time: 35 minutes (oven reheat approximately 25-30 minutes plus 5 minutes rest)
Serving note: Use 1 full rack of ribs divided among 4 people. Use 1 package (14 oz) of Dole Coleslaw tossed with 4 tablespoons of Best Choice Salad Dressing (ranch or Italian). Check the rib package for exact reheat temperature; most fully cooked ribs reheat at 350 degrees F covered in foil for 25-30 minutes.

Friday
Meal: Baked Bone-In Chicken Breasts with Birds Eye Vegetables and Avocado
Description: Bone-in chicken breasts are seasoned with Lawry's Seasoned Salt and baked in the oven until the skin is golden and the meat is cooked through, then served with a side of steamed Birds Eye vegetables. Remaining avocado slices add a fresh, buttery element to finish the plate.
