5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Italian Sausage with Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms and Brussels Sprouts
Description: Sliced Publix Pork Italian Sausage links are seared golden in a skillet and paired with tender sauteed baby bella mushrooms and caramelized Brussels sprouts for a hearty, flavor-packed weeknight dinner for two. The combination of savory sausage and earthy vegetables comes together in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Sale items used: Publix Pork Italian Sausage (Mild or Hot, 20-oz tray) at $5.69, Publix Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (8-oz pkg.) at 2 for $4.00, Brussels Sprouts (each pkg.) at 2 for $5.00
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use half the 20-oz sausage tray (about 10 oz, roughly 3 links) for 2 people and refrigerate or freeze the rest; 1 pkg. of sliced baby bella mushrooms (8 oz) and 1 pkg. of Brussels sprouts are each just right for two servings.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Ground Turkey Taco Bowls with Tomatoes on the Vine and Shredded Cheese over Russet Potatoes
Description: Seasoned Butterball ground turkey is cooked in a skillet with taco spices and spooned over crispy roasted russet potato cubes, then topped with fresh vine tomatoes and melted shredded cheese for a satisfying taco bowl without the shell. This budget-friendly bowl is big on flavor and uses sale items across multiple categories for great value.
Sale items used: Butterball Ground Turkey (93% Lean, 16-oz tray) at 2 for $9.00 (1 tray used), Tomatoes on the Vine at $1.99/lb, Extra Large Russet Potatoes at $0.99/lb, Publix Shredded Cheese (6 or 8-oz pkg.) at 2 for $5.00 (1 pkg. used)
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: 1 tray (16 oz) of ground turkey serves 2 generously; assume about 0.75 lb of tomatoes on the vine (roughly 2 medium tomatoes) at $1.50 total; use about 1 lb of russet potatoes for two servings at $0.99; 1 pkg. of shredded cheese covers both bowls well - the second pkg. from the 2 for $5 deal can be used Thursday.

Wednesday
Meal: Baked GreenWise Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast with Steamed Broccoli and Pero Family Farms Green Beans
Description: Lightly seasoned GreenWise boneless skinless chicken breasts are baked until juicy and golden, served alongside a side of steamed broccoli and microwaved Pero Family Farms green beans for a clean, wholesome dinner that comes together with almost no effort. This is a great midweek reset meal that is nutritious, colorful, and very easy on the wallet.
Sale items used: GreenWise Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast at $4.99/lb, Broccoli (each bunch) at 2 for $6.00 (1 bunch used), Pero Family Farms Snipped Green Beans (12-oz pkg.) at 2 for $5.00 (1 pkg. used)
Prep time: 35 minutes (plus 20 minutes bake time)
Serving note: Plan on about 1 lb of chicken breast for two people at $4.99 total; 1 bunch of broccoli is plenty for two sides; 1 bag of Pero green beans microwaves in minutes and serves two - the second pkg. from the deal can be used as a side later in the week or as a snack.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Cooked GreenWise Lean Pork Loin Chops with Roasted Russet Potatoes and Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms
Description: Boneless GreenWise lean pork loin chops are pan-seared to a beautiful golden crust and finished with a simple pan sauce, served alongside crispy roasted russet potato wedges and the remaining sauteed baby bella mushrooms for a restaurant-quality dinner at home. The mushrooms from the 2 for $4 deal purchased Monday make this a smart use of the week's shopping.
Sale items used: GreenWise Lean Pork Loin Chops (Boneless) at $6.49/lb, Extra Large Russet Potatoes at $0.99/lb, Publix Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (8-oz pkg.) at 2 for $4.00 (second pkg. used), Publix Shredded Cheese (second pkg. from 2 for $5.00 deal, optional topping)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Plan on about 1 lb of pork loin chops (roughly 2 chops) for two people at $6.49 total; use about 1 lb of russet potatoes for two servings at $0.99; the second mushroom pkg. from Monday's deal is used here at no additional cost.

Friday
Meal: Garlic Butter Skillet White Shrimp with Sweet Corn and Publix Baby Cut Carrots
Description: Plump large white shrimp are tossed in a garlic butter skillet until pink and slightly caramelized, then served alongside sweet boiled corn on the cob and steamed baby cut carrots for a bright, satisfying end-of-week dinner. This quick skillet meal feels indulgent but comes together in under 20 minutes and takes full advantage of the shrimp sale price.
Sale items used: White Shrimp (Large, 31 to 35 per Pound, Peeled and Deveined) at $7.99/lb, Bulk Sweet Corn at 5 for $3.00, Publix Baby Cut Carrots (1-lb bag) at $1.29
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Plan on about 1 lb of white shrimp for two people (roughly 31 to 35 shrimp) at $7.99 total; 2 ears of corn are perfect for two people at $1.20 total (buying 2 from the 5 for $3 deal); 1 bag of baby cut carrots serves two with leftovers for snacking.
