5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Braised Chicken Leg Quarters with Potatoes and Onions
Description: Two chicken leg quarters are slowly braised in a savory broth with golden potatoes and sweet onions until fall-off-the-bone tender. This comforting one-pot meal is deeply flavorful and perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner for one.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters ($0.79/lb), Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes ($3.49/5 lb bag), Always Save Onions ($1.50/bag when bought as 2/$3.00)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 60 minutes total
Serving note: Use approximately 1 lb of leg quarters (about 2 pieces) at $0.79/lb = $0.79; use about 2 medium potatoes from the 5 lb bag; use half of one onion. The bag of potatoes and onions will carry over for Friday's meal. Since total cook time hits 60 minutes, prep the broth and chop vegetables while the oven preheats to save time.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs with Zucchini and Yellow Squash
Description: A generous portion of boneless country style pork ribs is seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then served alongside tender slices of zucchini and yellow squash sauteed in garlic and olive oil. This quick and satisfying meal delivers bold flavor without a long cook time.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs ($2.19/lb), Zucchini or Yellow Squash ($1.49/lb)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of pork ribs at $2.19/lb = $1.10; the family pack is large so freeze the remainder in individual portions for future meals. Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of zucchini or yellow squash at $1.49/lb = $0.75. Use one small zucchini and one small yellow squash for color and variety.

Wednesday
Meal: Johnsonville Sausage and Prego Pasta Skillet
Description: Sliced Johnsonville ground sausage is browned in a skillet and tossed with al dente pasta and a rich Prego marinara sauce for a hearty and satisfying one-pan dinner. This simple skillet meal comes together in under 30 minutes and uses pantry staples to stretch the budget further.
Sale items used: Johnsonville Ground Fresh Sausage ($3.99/16 oz), Prego Pasta Sauce (2/$4.00), Creamette Long & Short Pasta (10 for $10.00)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use about one-third of the 16 oz sausage package (roughly 5 oz) for one serving; freeze the remainder in two portions for later use. Use half of one 24 oz jar of Prego sauce and refrigerate the rest. Cook about 2 oz of dry pasta, which yields a generous single serving.
Thursday
Meal: Pan-Seared Swai Fillets with Broccoli and Tomatoes
Description: Delicate swai fillets are seasoned simply and seared in a hot pan until golden and flaky, then plated alongside steamed broccoli and fresh sliced beefsteak tomatoes drizzled with a little olive oil. This light and nutritious meal is quick to prepare and lets the fresh ingredients shine.
Sale items used: Sea Best Frozen Boneless Swai Fillets ($7.99/32 oz bag), Broccoli Crowns ($1.99/lb), Hothouse Beefsteak Tomatoes ($1.49/lb)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 fillets (approximately 8 oz) from the 32 oz bag; refreeze the remaining fillets individually for future meals. Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of broccoli crowns at $1.99/lb = $1.00. Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of beefsteak tomatoes at $1.49/lb = $0.75, which yields about one medium tomato.

Friday
Meal: Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Potatoes and Green Giant Vegetables
Description: A Smithfield marinated pork tenderloin is roasted in the oven until juicy and caramelized, then sliced and served alongside crispy roasted potatoes from the bag purchased Monday and a side of Green Giant canned vegetables. The marinade does all the flavor work, making this an impressive yet nearly hands-off dinner to close out the week.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins ($4.99 each), Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes (already purchased Monday), Green Giant Vegetables (3/$4.00), Always Save Onions (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 55 minutes total
Serving note: The Smithfield tenderloin is 18.4 to 23 oz; roast the whole piece and slice off one generous serving (about 6 oz); refrigerate or freeze the rest for lunches. Use 2 to 3 small potatoes from the bag already on hand. Open one can of Green Giant vegetables as a quick side. Since total cook time approaches 55 to 60 minutes, slide the potatoes into the oven first, then add the tenderloin partway through so both finish together.
