5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Pork Loin with Corn and Canned Green Beans
Description: Two thick-cut boneless pork loin steaks are seasoned and seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, served alongside sweet fresh corn on the cob and tender canned green beans. This is an incredibly budget-friendly weeknight dinner that delivers big flavor at a very low cost per serving.
Sale items used: Whole Boneless Pork Loin (Food City Fresh) $1.29/lb, Fresh Corn 4 pk $3.99, Food Club Vegetables (green beans) $0.89 each
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of boneless pork loin (cut into 2 portions of about 0.5 lb each) at $1.29/lb, total protein cost about $1.29. Use 2 ears of corn from the 4-pack. Open 1 can of green beans. Make-ahead note: the pork loin can be sliced and seasoned up to 24 hours ahead and kept covered in the fridge.
Tuesday
Meal: Baked Split Chicken Breast with Russet Potatoes and Salad
Description: Two Sanderson Farms split chicken breasts are seasoned with herbs and roasted in the oven until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, served with oven-roasted russet potato wedges and a crisp bagged salad on the side. This is a classic, satisfying meal that takes advantage of one of the best per-pound values in the flyer.
Sale items used: Fresh Split Chicken Breast (Sanderson Farms) Family Pack $1.99/lb, Russet Potatoes Basket & Bushel 10 lb $4.99, American or Italian Salad Fresh Express 9-11 oz $2.99
Prep time: 20 minutes prep, 45 minutes bake
Serving note: Purchase approximately 2 lbs of split chicken breast (2 large bone-in breasts) at $1.99/lb, total protein cost about $3.98. Use 2 to 3 medium russet potatoes from the 10 lb bag (the rest will keep all week). Use 1 bag of Fresh Express salad. Total bake time is about 45 minutes - start potatoes 10 minutes before the chicken for even doneness.
Wednesday
Meal: Bone-In Pork Chop Skillet with Corn and Classico Pasta Sauce Braised Tomatoes
Description: Two bone-in pork chops are seared in a skillet then finished with a ladle of Classico pasta sauce for a quick Italian-style braise, served with the remaining corn on the cob from Monday's 4-pack. The tomato sauce adds rich depth to the pork and makes cleanup a breeze with just one pan.
Sale items used: Mixed Pork Chops (Food City Fresh Bone-In Family Pack) $1.49/lb, Classico Pasta Sauce 2/$6.00, Fresh Corn 4 pk (remaining ears from Monday)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of bone-in pork chops (2 chops) at $1.49/lb, total protein cost about $2.24. Use 1 jar of Classico pasta sauce at $3.00 (buying 2 jars for the 2/$6.00 deal - second jar goes to pantry). Use the 2 remaining ears of corn from the 4-pack purchased Monday.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Seared Fresh Salmon Fillets with Specialty Potatoes and Canned Corn
Description: Two fresh salmon fillets are pan-seared skin-side down in a lightly oiled skillet until perfectly crisp, then finished with a squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs, served alongside roasted specialty potatoes and a quick side of canned corn. This is the most elegant meal of the week and the salmon sale price makes it an accessible weeknight treat.
Sale items used: Salmon Fillets Fresh $9.99/lb, Specialty Potatoes Basket & Bushel 24 oz $2.99, Food Club Vegetables (corn) $0.89 each
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of fresh salmon fillets (two 0.5 lb portions) at $9.99/lb, total protein cost about $9.99. Use 1 bag of specialty potatoes (the full 24 oz bag serves 2 well). Open 1 can of corn. Ask the seafood counter to cut two equal fillets for easy portioning.
Friday
Meal: Gourmet Burger Patties on Sub Rolls with Tillamook Sliced Cheese and Salad
Description: Two gourmet burger patties (choose from Black & Bleu, Spinach & Feta, or Bacon & Cheddar) are pan-seared or grilled and served on fresh-baked sub rolls with melted Tillamook sliced cheese and a side salad to round out the meal.
