Piggly Wiggly Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Estimates assume about 2 lb for per-lb cuts and one package for items priced "each". Items priced "for" a multi-pack assume the number of packs shown.
Why these meals: This week at Piggly Wiggly, you get a different protein every night: pork chops on Monday, Italian sausage on Tuesday, tilapia on Wednesday, chicken wings on Thursday and beef hot dogs on Friday, so nobody gets bored. The 2 lb family pack of pork chops is just $2.98, which makes Monday's mushroom gravy dinner an easy start. Several sale items work double duty, so you can buy them once and use them twice: zucchini and Idaho potatoes on Monday and Wednesday, mushrooms on Monday and Tuesday, and bell peppers on Tuesday and Thursday. Lemons brighten both Wednesday's baked tilapia and Thursday's lemon-pepper wings, and sweet onions turn up in Tuesday's skillet and Friday's chili dip. Friday wraps up on a fun note with crescent-wrapped franks, and that $0.99 Pillsbury Grands! Crescents can goes a long way for a dinner the kids will love.
