Giant Low-Carb Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: The four everyday nights lean on Holmes Smokehouse Sausage at about $1.00 a serving, 80% Lean Ground Beef at about $2.50 a serving, Fresh Split Chicken Breasts at about $3.00 a serving, and Jimmy Dean Bacon at about $1.50 a serving - these are the four most economical compliant proteins on the flyer this week and they anchor a genuinely affordable week. Jumbo Raw EZ Peel Shrimp earns the single premium night at roughly $5.00 a serving, which is the least expensive of the premium-tier proteins and a much better value than the Snow Crab Clusters or Sockeye Salmon also on sale. Sale-priced broccoli, bell peppers, tomatoes, and baby carrots fill out the plates with low-carb vegetables at under $3.00 a package, keeping the week's total comfortably in range.
