Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: Ground beef at $4.99/lb and Holmes Smokehouse Sausage at $3.99 a package are the real workhorses of this week, giving you hearty, satisfying dinners for well under $2 a serving. The Giant Rotisserie Chicken at $6.99 for a whole bird is one of the best deals on the flyer - a fully cooked chicken that feeds four for less than $2 a plate. Fresh Split Chicken Breasts at $5.99/lb round out the second chicken night with a different cooking style and flavor profile. Jumbo Raw EZ Peel Shrimp earned the single premium night at $9.99/lb - it is the least expensive of the true premium seafood options on this flyer (Snow Crab Clusters at $14.99/lb and Sockeye Salmon at $10.99/lb were both skipped to keep the week affordable). The Bush's Baked Beans night doubles down on savings by pairing a plant-based protein with the sausage, stretching the budget and adding variety without repeating a protein type.
