Piggly Wiggly Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The star of this week is the Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters at just $0.79/lb - that is an exceptional price that anchors Monday's dinner for well under $2 in protein. The Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs and Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops are both $2.19/lb, making them two of the best pork values on the flyer and perfect for a braised weeknight dinner and a pan-seared chop night. The Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Rolls at $2.99 each give you a hearty pasta sauce for very little money. The T-Bone steaks at nearly $25 for a family portion and the beef sirloin tip roast at over $16 were deliberately skipped to keep this week's total in a comfortable range.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Fryer Leg Quarters with Roasted Broccoli and Gold Potatoes
Description: Bone-in chicken leg quarters are seasoned and baked until the skin is golden and the meat is cooked through, served alongside tender roasted broccoli crowns and halved gold potatoes. It is a classic, satisfying oven dinner that delivers big flavor at an unbeatable price.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters (sold in 10 lb bags), Broccoli Crowns, Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes (5 lb bag)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 50 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase 2 lbs of leg quarters from the 10 lb bag (you will have remaining chicken to freeze for later use); use 1 lb of broccoli crowns and about 1.5 lbs of potatoes from the 5 lb bag. Total oven time is about 50 minutes at 400 degrees F, so start the potatoes and chicken together and add broccoli for the last 20 minutes.

Tuesday
Meal: Braised Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs with Baked Beans and Corn
Description: Boneless country style pork ribs are seared in a pan and then braised low and slow in a covered skillet with onions until fork-tender and deeply savory. Baked beans and sweet corn round out the plate for a hearty Southern-style dinner.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs, Always Save Onions Yellow Red or White (2 lb bag), Yellowstone Baked Beans (15 oz), McKenzie's Corn (20 oz)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 75 minutes total
Serving note: Use 2 lbs of country style pork ribs and half of the 2 lb onion bag. Open 2 cans of Yellowstone Baked Beans and 1 bag of McKenzie's Corn. The braise takes about 60-65 minutes covered on medium-low heat after the initial sear, so plan to start this one about 80 minutes before you want to eat; the hands-on time is minimal once it is covered.

Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops with Zucchini and Tomatoes
Description: Boneless sirloin pork chops are seasoned and seared in a hot skillet until golden brown on each side and cooked through, then served with sauteed zucchini and sliced beefsteak tomatoes on the side. The combination of the caramelized chop with the fresh summer vegetables makes for a bright, well-balanced plate.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops, Zucchini or Yellow Squash, Hothouse Beefsteak Tomatoes
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops, Zucchini or Yellow Squash, Hothouse Beefsteak Tomatoes

Meal: Carolina Pride Sausage and Prego Pasta with Green Giant Vegetables

Meal: Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin or Loin Fillet with Dole Salad Kit and Gold Potatoes
Description: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins, Picnics or Loin Fillets are cooked in a skillet or oven according to package directions, then sliced and served with a Dole Salad Kit and roasted gold potatoes for a flavorful, nearly effortless Friday dinner.
