Piggly Wiggly Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Corrected order by per-serving cost: Chorizo (0.25), Pork Chops (0.80), Tilapia (1.00), Italian Sausage (1.25), Whole Chicken (1.27), Ground Chuck (2.06).
Why these meals: This week gives you a different protein for each night from Monday to Friday, so dinner never gets repetitive and every meal stays low-carb. Monday's pork chops are $3.18 for 2 lbs, and Wednesday's whole chicken is $5.07 for 3 lbs, enough for a roast dinner plus leftovers for lunches. Zucchini or yellow squash turns up on Monday and Friday, and baby portabella mushrooms show up on Wednesday and Friday, so grab the 4 packages in the two-deal offer at $10.00 and you'll use 3 of them. Bell peppers tie together Tuesday's sausage skillet and Thursday's chorizo scramble, which keeps the produce shopping simple.
