Publix Kosher Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: Because you're shopping kosher, I kept meat and dairy on separate nights: Wednesday's mushroom and onion frittata is the only dairy dinner, and Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are all meat. The week moves from Monday's turkey and black bean chili to Tuesday's roasted lamb shoulder blade chops with Fall Hard Squash, then Thursday's ground chuck patties and Friday's braised chuck tender roast. The Butterball Ground Turkey is 2 packs for $8.00 and the lamb chops are $16.98 for 2 lbs, so those are the two items to grab first. One $3.99 bag of Publix Yellow Onions covers Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, which keeps the produce side simple. Friday's roast can be braised Thursday night or that morning and reheated gently in its broth, so the last night of the week is the easiest one.
