Food City Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Pork Loin with Corn and Canned Green Beans
Description: A single thick-cut boneless pork loin chop is seasoned and seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then rested while fresh corn and canned green beans round out the plate. This is a satisfying, protein-rich weeknight meal that comes together quickly and highlights one of the best per-pound deals in the flyer.
Sale items used: Whole Boneless Pork Loin - Food City Fresh ($1.29/lb with digital coupon), Fresh Corn 4 pk ($3.99), Food Club Vegetables canned green beans ($0.89)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of boneless pork loin (roughly one thick chop cut from the loin), costing about $0.65. Use 1 ear of corn from the 4-pack (you will have 3 ears left for Wednesday and other use). Open 1 can of green beans. The 4-pack of corn is the smallest available unit, so plan to use the remaining ears later in the week.
Tuesday
Meal: Baked Split Chicken Breast with Russet Potatoes and Salad
Description: One split chicken breast is seasoned with pantry spices and roasted in the oven until the skin is crisp and the meat is tender, served alongside oven-roasted russet potato wedges and a crisp bagged salad. This is a classic, filling meal that takes advantage of one of the lowest per-pound chicken prices of the week.
Sale items used: Fresh Split Chicken Breast - Sanderson Farms Family Pack ($1.99/lb), Russet Potatoes - Basket & Bushel 10 lb bag ($4.99), American or Italian Salad - Fresh Express 9-11 oz ($2.99)
Prep time: 55 minutes (about 15 minutes active, 40 minutes roasting)
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb for one split breast, costing about $1.49. The family pack is the available unit, so freeze remaining pieces for future meals. Use 2 medium russet potatoes from the 10 lb bag (the bag will last well beyond this week). The total roasting time is close to 60 minutes, so preheat the oven early and prep the potatoes while the chicken goes in.
Wednesday
Meal: Bone-In Pork Chop Skillet with Corn and Classico Pasta Sauce Braised Tomatoes
Description: One bone-in pork chop is seared in a skillet, then simmered briefly in a ladleful of Classico pasta sauce for a quick braised-tomato finish, served with a fresh ear of corn on the side. The tomato sauce adds rich, savory depth to the chop without any extra effort or cost.
Sale items used: Mixed Pork Chops - Food City Fresh Bone-In Family Pack ($1.49/lb), Fresh Corn 4 pk (already purchased Monday), Classico Pasta Sauce 2/$6.00
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb for one bone-in pork chop, costing about $0.75. The family pack is the available unit, so freeze remaining chops individually for later use. Use 1 ear of corn from the 4-pack purchased Monday. Buy 1 jar of Classico pasta sauce at $3.00 (half the 2/$6.00 deal); use about one-third of the jar for braising and refrigerate the rest for pasta later.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Seared Fresh Salmon Fillets with Specialty Potatoes and Canned Corn
Description: A fresh salmon fillet is patted dry and seared skin-side down in a hot skillet with a little oil until the flesh is flaky and the skin is crisp, then plated with tender specialty potatoes and a quick side of canned corn. This meal feels restaurant-quality and brings great variety to the week at a reasonable cost for one person.
Sale items used: Salmon Fillets Fresh ($9.99/lb), Specialty Potatoes - Basket & Bushel 24 oz ($2.99), Food Club Vegetables canned corn ($0.89)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of fresh salmon fillet (one generous fillet), costing about $5.00. Use half the 24 oz bag of specialty potatoes (save the rest for another meal or side). Open 1 can of corn. Salmon cooks quickly, so have all sides ready before the fish hits the pan.
Friday
Meal: Gourmet Burger Patties on Sub Rolls with Tillamook Sliced Cheese and Salad
Description: One 5 oz gourmet burger patty (choose from Black & Bleu, Spinach & Feta, or Bacon & Cheddar) is pan-seared or grilled and served on a fresh-baked sub roll with a slice of Tillamook cheese and a side salad. This is a fun, flavorful end to the week that feels indulgent while staying budget-friendly.
Sale items used: Gourmet Burgers 5 oz ($3.00 each), Sub Rolls Fresh Baked 4 ct ($3.99), Tillamook Sliced Cheese ($1.99), American or Italian Salad - Fresh Express 9-11 oz ($2.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Buy 1 gourmet burger patty at $3.00. Buy 1 pack of 4 sub rolls at $3.99 and use 1 roll (freeze or use the remaining 3 rolls for sandwiches through the weekend). Buy 1 package of Tillamook sliced cheese at $1.99 and use 1 slice. If you still have salad left from Tuesday, skip the second bag; otherwise buy 1 bag at $2.99.
