Giant Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Since you're shopping at Giant this week, I built the plan around what's on sale, and every dinner is gluten-free for your table of four. Monday's pan-seared chicken breasts with roasted russet potatoes lean on two of the lowest-priced items on your list, with chicken at $3.98 for 2 lbs and russets at $1.98. Wednesday's baked salmon with roasted broccoli crowns is the splurge of the week, and the broccoli at $2.99 keeps it light and quick at 25 minutes. Tuesday's ground beef rice bowls and Friday's egg scramble with black beans are the fastest, simplest nights, so you can ease into the weekend. Just check that the Ben's rice and tomato sauce labels say gluten-free before they go in your cart.
