Piggly Wiggly Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Here's why these meals work for your Piggly Wiggly trip: each night leans on a different sale protein, so you get chicken leg quarters on Monday, pork chops on Tuesday, ground chuck chili on Wednesday, breaded fish on Thursday, and pork sausage on Friday, with no repeat dinners. The 4 lbs of Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters at $3.16 make a roast that easily feeds all four of you, and the 2 lbs of Family Pack Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops at $3.58 turn into a quick skillet dinner over buttered pasta. A few ingredients carry across the week to keep the cart simple: the bag of Peruvian Sweet Onions covers Tuesday and Friday, the two Borden Cheese Shreds packs top Wednesday's chili and Friday's sausage and peppers, and the pair of Dole Garden Salads cover Monday and Friday. Thursday is the easiest night of all, with oven-baked fish, rice, and frozen vegetables that need almost no hands-on time.
