Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Slow-Roasted Pulled Pork Picnic Roast with Sweet Corn and Green Beans
Description: A bone-in pork picnic roast is slow-roasted low and slow until fork-tender, then pulled apart and served alongside sweet corn on the cob and steamed green beans. This is a great make-ahead meal since the roast takes several hours, so start it in the morning or the night before and refrigerate leftovers for easy lunches.
Sale items used: Whole Pork Picnic Roast (Bone-In) at $0.99/lb, Sweet Corn at 10 for $2.50, Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts (12 oz. bag) at $2.49
Prep time: 20 minutes active prep (plus 4-6 hours roasting time)
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of pork picnic roast (bone-in yield is lower, so 1.5 lbs raw gives roughly one generous serving of pulled pork). Use 2 ears of sweet corn and about half the 12 oz. bag of green beans. Make-ahead note: start the roast by mid-morning for a dinner-time meal, or roast the day before and reheat pulled pork in a skillet.

Tuesday
Meal: Braised Chicken Leg Quarters with Eggplant and Grape Tomatoes
Description: One chicken leg quarter is braised in a savory broth with sliced eggplant and grape tomatoes until the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the vegetables are silky and rich. The braising liquid reduces into a light, flavorful sauce that ties the whole dish together.
Sale items used: Fresh Chicken Leg Quarters (Family Size) at $1.29/lb, Eggplant at $1.49/lb, Grape Tomatoes (10 oz.) at 2 for $5.00
Prep time: 15 minutes active prep (plus 45-55 minutes braising time)
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb of chicken leg quarters (one leg quarter). Use about 0.5 lb of eggplant (roughly half a medium eggplant) and one 10 oz. container of grape tomatoes, using half for this meal and saving the rest for snacking or salads. Total cook time is about 70 minutes, so start braising at least an hour before you want to eat.

Wednesday
Meal: Oven-Baked St. Louis-Style Pork Ribs with Hot House Peppers and Avocado Salad
Description: Rather than a full rack, a small slab portion of St. Louis-style ribs is dry-rubbed and oven-baked low and slow until tender, then finished at high heat for a caramelized crust. Roasted hot house peppers and a simple avocado salad with lime and cilantro round out the plate with bright, fresh contrast.
Sale items used: St. Louis-Style Pork Ribs (Previously Frozen) at $1.99/lb with digital coupon, Hot House Peppers (Red, Yellow or Orange) at 3 for $5.00, Avocados at 5 for $1.00 each
Prep time: 20 minutes active prep (plus 2.5-3 hours oven time)
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of St. Louis-style ribs (a small end portion, roughly 3-4 bones, is plenty for one person). Use 1 hot house pepper (buy 3 for $5.00 and use extras through the week) and 1 avocado. Make-ahead note: season the ribs the night before and refrigerate uncovered for better flavor; begin baking at least 3 hours before mealtime.

Thursday
Meal: Ground Beef and Sweet Corn Skillet with Green Squash
Description: Seasoned 73% lean ground beef is browned in a skillet with fresh sweet corn cut off the cob and sliced green squash, creating a hearty one-pan meal with great texture and natural sweetness. A splash of olive oil and simple spices bring everything together quickly for a fast weeknight dinner.
Sale items used: 73% Lean Ground Beef (Family Size) at $3.49/lb (3-day sale price), Sweet Corn at 10 for $2.50, Green or Yellow Squash at $1.99/lb
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of ground beef. Use 1 ear of sweet corn (cut kernels off the cob) and about 0.5 lb of green squash (one small-to-medium squash). Note: the 3-day sale price of $3.49/lb applies only during the first 3 days of the sale week; confirm the sale dates at the store and shop accordingly.
Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared Jumbo Shrimp with Asparagus and Mango Salsa
Description: Jumbo EZ peel shrimp are quickly pan-seared in a hot skillet with garlic and olive oil until pink and slightly charred, then served over a bed of roasted asparagus spears. A fresh mango salsa made with diced mango, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro adds a bright, tropical finish to the plate.
Sale items used: Jumbo Raw EZ Peel Shrimp (21-25 ct.) at $6.99/lb with digital coupon, Asparagus at $3.49/lb, Mangoes at 5 for $5.00
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of shrimp (about 10-12 jumbo shrimp, which is a full single-serving main). Use about 0.5 lb of asparagus (roughly 8-10 spears) and 1 mango for the salsa. Activate the digital coupon before shopping to secure the $6.99/lb shrimp price.
