5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Roasted Publix Whole Young Chicken with Bulk Sweet Corn and Vine-Ripe Tomatoes
Description: A whole young chicken is seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then roasted until golden and juicy - perfect for two with leftovers to spare. Fresh sweet corn and sliced vine-ripe tomatoes round out this simple, satisfying summer dinner.
Sale items used: Publix Whole Young Chicken ($1.59/lb), Bulk Sweet Corn (5 for $3.00), Vine-Ripe Tomatoes ($2.49/lb), Bertolli Olive Oil (BOGO)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 75 minutes total roasting
Serving note: One whole chicken averaging 4 lbs at $1.59/lb = $6.36; plan to roast for about 75 minutes at 400F - start the chicken first, then prep corn and tomatoes while it roasts. Use 2 ears of corn and about 0.5 lb of tomatoes for two people.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breasts with Broccoli and Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes
Description: Two boneless chicken breasts are seared in olive oil until golden and cooked through, served alongside roasted broccoli florets and baked russet potatoes. This clean, protein-forward meal comes together in under 45 minutes and is completely dairy-free.
Sale items used: Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breasts ($3.99/lb), Broccoli (2 for $6.00), Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes ($3.99 for 5-lb bag), Bertolli Olive Oil (BOGO)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of chicken breasts for two people at $3.99/lb = $3.99; buy 1 bunch of broccoli for $3.00 (half of the 2 for $6 deal, or buy 2 and save the second for another use). Use 2 medium potatoes from the 5-lb bag.

Wednesday
Meal: Publix Mild Pork Italian Sausage Skillet with Red, Yellow, and Orange Bell Peppers and Vine-Ripe Tomatoes
Description: Sliced Italian sausage links are browned in a skillet with colorful bell peppers and fresh vine-ripe tomatoes, creating a hearty one-pan meal with bold, savory flavor. Serve over rice or with crusty bread for a complete dairy-free dinner for two.
Sale items used: Publix Mild Pork Italian Sausage ($5.69 for 20-oz pkg), Red, Yellow, or Orange Bell Peppers ($2.99/lb), Vine-Ripe Tomatoes ($2.49/lb)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: The 20-oz sausage package provides generous portions for two people; use 3 to 4 links and save any remaining links for another meal. Purchase about 0.75 lb of mixed bell peppers for $2.24 and 0.5 lb of vine-ripe tomatoes for $1.25.

Thursday
Meal: Broiled Publix Assorted Pork Loin Chops with Brussels Sprouts and Bulk Sweet Corn
Description: Two pork loin chops are seasoned and broiled to a caramelized finish, paired with roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet corn on the cob for a satisfying, dairy-free weeknight dinner. The BOGO deal on chops makes this an especially budget-friendly meal for two.
Sale items used: Publix Assorted Pork Loin Chops (BOGO), Brussels Sprouts (2 for $6.00), Bulk Sweet Corn (5 for $3.00)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: The BOGO package contains 8 chops - use 2 chops for this dinner and freeze the remaining 6 for future meals, making the cost of this meal effectively very low. Buy 1 pkg of Brussels sprouts for $3.00 (half of the 2 for $6 deal) and 2 ears of corn.

Friday
Meal: Sauteed White Shrimp with Fresh Express Salad Blend and Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes
Description: Colossal white shrimp are quickly sauteed in olive oil with garlic, lemon, and herbs, then served alongside a crisp salad blend and a simple baked or pan-roasted russet potato. This light yet filling meal is ready in under 30 minutes and is naturally dairy-free.
Sale items used: White Shrimp ($9.99/lb), Fresh Express Salad Blends (2 for $6.00), Publix Idaho Russet Potatoes ($3.99 for 5-lb bag)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 1 lb of colossal white shrimp for two people at $9.99/lb = $9.99; colossal shrimp are large so 1 lb gives a generous serving for two. Use 1 bag of salad blend from the 2 for $6 deal ($3.00 per bag) and 2 potatoes from the 5-lb bag already purchased earlier in the week.
