Giant Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's dinners are dairy-free and varied: chicken breasts on Monday, beef chili on Tuesday, shrimp on Wednesday, egg fried rice on Thursday, and rotisserie chicken on Friday. The 4 lb of russet potatoes at $3.96 covers both Monday's roasted wedges and Friday's baked potatoes, so you only buy them once. Ben's Original Ready Rice serves Tuesday's chili and Thursday's fried rice, and the onions you pick up for Tuesday carry over into Thursday too. Since the rice and the Kikkoman sauce are packaged products, check their labels at Giant to confirm they're dairy-free, and enjoy Friday as the easy night with the $5.99 rotisserie chicken, just start the potatoes first.
