Giant Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Chicken breasts at $1.99/lb with the digital coupon are the best protein deal on this flyer, so they anchor one of the weeknight dinners. Ground beef at $3.99/lb and smoked sausage at $2.99/lb each give you two more filling, low-carb-friendly nights without stretching the budget. Pork tenderloin at $4.99/lb is a lean, elegant cut that rounds out a fourth economical night - it cooks quickly and takes seasoning beautifully. Shrimp at $5.99/lb with the digital coupon is the single premium night this week; it is noticeably cheaper per serving than the salmon, catfish, or any steak on the flyer, making it the smartest premium pick. The sale on Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts and Nature's Promise Organic Romaine Hearts keeps the vegetable side of the cart affordable, and using pantry staples like garlic, olive oil, and spices avoids adding extra bottles to the total.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Chicken Breasts with Garlic Green Beans
Description: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are seasoned with garlic and herbs, then seared in a hot skillet until golden and cooked through, producing a juicy, flavorful main in under 30 minutes. A side of tender-crisp green beans sauteed in butter and garlic completes the plate for a satisfying, low-carb weeknight dinner.
Sale items used: Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (Family Size) at $1.99/lb (with digital coupon), Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts 32 oz. bag, Breakstone's Butter 16 oz.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 2 lbs of chicken breasts for 4 people (approximately 0.5 lb per person). Use the full 32 oz. bag of green beans for the side, split evenly across 4 plates. One package of Breakstone's Butter is sufficient for the week and is used here for the green beans.

Tuesday
Meal: Smoked Sausage and Brussels Sprouts Skillet
Description: Premio Fresh Dinner or Eckrich Smoked Sausage is sliced into coins and browned in a cast-iron skillet alongside halved Brussels sprouts, creating caramelized edges and a smoky, savory one-pan meal. The natural fat from the sausage bastes the sprouts as they cook, keeping the dish rich and satisfying with minimal added oil.
Sale items used: Premio Fresh Dinner or Eckrich Smoked Sausage (x2 packages, with digital coupon), Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts 32 oz. bag
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 packages of sausage (roughly 12-14 oz. each depending on variety) to feed 4 people generously. Use the full 32 oz. bag of Brussels sprouts, halved, split across 4 servings.
Wednesday
Meal: Seasoned Ground Beef Lettuce Wrap Bowls with Tomatoes and Shredded Cheese
Description: Seasoned 80% lean ground beef is browned with garlic, cumin, and chili powder, then spooned into crisp romaine leaves and topped with NatureSweet Cherubs tomatoes and Kraft Shredded Cheese for a handheld, low-carb taco-style bowl. The romaine acts as a fresh, crunchy vessel that keeps net carbs well under the daily target while delivering bold flavor.
Sale items used: 80% Lean Ground Beef (Family Size) at $3.99/lb, Nature's Promise Organic Romaine Hearts 3 ct. bag, NatureSweet Cherubs Tomatoes 24 oz. pkg., Kraft Shredded Cheese 16 oz.
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1.5 lbs of ground beef for 4 people. Use the full 3 ct. bag of romaine hearts, separating leaves for wrapping. Use half the 24 oz. package of Cherubs tomatoes (saving the rest for Friday) and approximately half the 16 oz. bag of shredded cheese.

- Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps
Thursday
Meal: Herb-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Baby Carrots
Description: Whole Fresh Pork Tenderloin is rubbed with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and black pepper, then roasted in the oven at 425 degrees until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees, yielding a tender, juicy roast with a golden herb crust. Giant Peeled Baby-Cut Carrots are sauteed in butter with a pinch of salt and thyme as a naturally sweet, low-carb side that pairs well with the savory pork.
Sale items used: Whole Fresh Pork Tenderloin at $4.99/lb, Giant Peeled Baby-Cut Carrots 16 oz. bag, Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil 16 oz., Breakstone's Butter 16 oz.
Prep time: 45 minutes (including 25 minutes roasting time)
Serving note: Purchase 1.5 lbs of pork tenderloin for 4 people. Use the full 16 oz. bag of baby carrots, split across 4 servings. The olive oil and butter are used in small amounts; both packages carry over for other meals and pantry use.

Friday
Meal: Garlic Butter Pan-Seared Shrimp over Romaine Salad with Tomatoes and Shredded Cheese
Description: Large Raw EZ Peel Shrimp are peeled, patted dry, and seared in garlic butter in a hot skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink and lightly charred at the edges, then served over a bed of Nature's Promise Organic Romaine Hearts with the remaining NatureSweet Cherubs tomatoes and Kraft Shredded Cheese. The warm shrimp wilts the romaine slightly and the pan drippings act as a light dressing, making this a bright, protein-rich finish to the week.
Sale items used: Large Raw EZ Peel Shrimp 31-40 ct. at $5.99/lb (with digital coupon), Nature's Promise Organic Romaine Hearts 3 ct. bag, NatureSweet Cherubs Tomatoes 24 oz. pkg. (remainder from Wednesday), Kraft Shredded Cheese 16 oz. (remainder from Wednesday), Breakstone's Butter 16 oz.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 1.5 lbs of shrimp for 4 people (approximately 6 oz. per person, yielding roughly 6 to 8 shrimp per serving at 31-40 ct. per lb). Use the second 3 ct. bag of romaine hearts, the remaining half of the 24 oz. Cherubs tomatoes, and the remaining shredded cheese from Wednesday.
