Piggly Wiggly Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week you get a different protein every night, starting with oven-roasted fryer leg quarters on Monday and finishing with garlic shrimp pasta on Friday, with smoked sausage on Tuesday, ground beef tacos on Wednesday and pork loin medallions on Thursday. One 5 lb bag of Green Giant potatoes at $2.99 covers both Monday's roast and Thursday's mashed potatoes, and the 3 lb bag of Peruvian sweet onions at $3.49 stretches from Tuesday's sausage skillet to Friday's shrimp pasta. The Borden cheese pair at $4.00 does double duty on Tuesday's corn muffins and Wednesday's tacos. Friday's Barilla pasta (3 for $4.00) and Red Gold tomatoes (4 for $5.00) are multi-buy deals, so grab the full sets and you'll be set for the end of the week.
