Monday
Meal: Baked Fryer Leg Quarters with Roasted Broccoli and Gold Potatoes
Description: Two juicy fryer leg quarters are seasoned and baked until golden and crispy, paired with tender roasted broccoli florets and golden potatoes for a satisfying, classic dinner. This is one of the best value meals of the week at under $1 per serving for the protein alone.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters ($0.79/lb), Broccoli Crowns ($1.99/lb), Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes ($3.49/5 lb bag)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 2 lbs of leg quarters (2 pieces, one per person) at $0.79/lb; use about 0.75 lb of broccoli crowns and 4 to 5 small gold potatoes from the 5 lb bag. Total cook time is about 55 to 60 minutes at 400 degrees F, so get the potatoes in the oven 10 minutes before the chicken and broccoli.

Tuesday
Meal: Braised Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs with Baked Beans and Corn
Description: Tender boneless country style pork ribs are slow-braised in a savory sauce until fall-apart soft, then served alongside smoky baked beans and sweet corn for a hearty, comforting plate. This budget-friendly cut braises beautifully and delivers big flavor for very little money.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs ($2.19/lb), Yellowstone Baked Beans ($2.29 each), McKenzie's Corn ($2.00 per bag when bought 2/$4.00)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.25 lbs of country style pork ribs for 2 people at $2.19/lb; use 1 can of baked beans and 1 bag of McKenzie's corn (you will have one corn bag left over for later). Braising takes about 90 minutes total, so start the ribs early or braise them the night before and reheat for a quick weeknight dinner.

Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops with Zucchini and Tomatoes
Description: Boneless sirloin pork chops are seared in a hot skillet to a golden crust, then finished with a quick saute of fresh zucchini and beefsteak tomatoes for a bright, summery one-pan dinner. The combination of the meaty chops with the fresh garden vegetables makes this a light yet filling mid-week meal.
