Monday
Meal: Smoked Sausage and Sweet Corn Skillet with Baby-Cut Carrots
Description: Sliced smoked sausage is browned in a hot skillet with fresh sweet corn cut off the cob and tender baby-cut carrots for a quick, satisfying weeknight dinner for two. The natural sweetness of the corn and carrots balances the smoky, savory sausage beautifully.

Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: 1 package (about 12-14 oz.) of smoked sausage serves 2 generously; use 3 ears of sweet corn (cut off the cob) and the full 16 oz. bag of carrots, using half for this meal and saving the rest for snacking or another dish.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with Roasted Red Potatoes and Green Beans
Description: Two boneless skinless chicken breasts are seasoned and seared to a golden crust, then finished in the oven alongside crispy roasted red potatoes and tender green beans for a complete, colorful plate. This is a straightforward, high-value meal that delivers big flavor with minimal effort.
Sale items used: Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Family Size ($1.99/lb with digital coupon), Giant Red Potatoes or Yellow Onions 3 lb. bag 2 for $5.00, Giant Green Beans or Brussels Sprouts 32 oz. bag ($5.99 each)
Prep time: 40 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb. of chicken breasts for 2 people (about 2 medium breasts) at $1.99; use roughly 1 lb. of red potatoes from the bag (the rest keeps well for another meal); use about half the 32 oz. green bean bag and save the remainder for later in the week or freeze it.
Wednesday
Meal: Ground Beef and Tomato Pasta with Kraft Shredded Cheese
Description: Seasoned 80% lean ground beef is browned and simmered with Prego pasta sauce and diced vine tomatoes, then tossed with al dente pasta and finished with a generous handful of Kraft shredded cheese. It is a hearty, crowd-pleasing bowl that comes together in under 30 minutes.

Serving note: Use 0.75 lb. of ground beef for 2 people (cost approximately $2.99); cook 8 oz. (half a box) of pasta; use 1 jar of Prego sauce and about 0.5 lb. of vine tomatoes; top each bowl with a couple of tablespoons of shredded cheese. The family-size ground beef pack will have leftover portions - divide and freeze what you do not use.

Thursday
Meal: Slow-Braised Bone-In Pork Butt Taco Bowl with Corn and Romaine
Description: A bone-in pork butt is slow-braised until fall-apart tender, then shredded and served over a bowl with sweet corn, crisp romaine hearts, and your favorite toppings for a fun, build-your-own taco bowl night for two. The low-and-slow cooking does all the work, making this an ideal set-it-and-forget-it dinner.
Sale items used: Whole Fresh Pork Butt Bone-In ($2.49/lb), Sweet Corn 5 for $2.00, Nature's Promise Organic Romaine Hearts 3 ct. bag ($3.99 each)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 4-6 hours braising
Serving note: Purchase approximately 2 lbs. of pork butt for 2 people at $2.49/lb (total about $4.98); a bone-in cut will yield roughly 1 to 1.25 lbs. of shredded meat, which is plenty for two generous bowls. Use 2 ears of sweet corn and 2 romaine hearts. Make-ahead note: start the braise in the morning or use a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours so dinner is ready when you need it.

Friday
Meal: Garlic Butter Large Raw EZ Peel Shrimp Stir-Fry with Sweet Corn and Tomatoes
Description: Plump raw EZ peel shrimp are quickly stir-fried in garlic butter with fresh sweet corn kernels and juicy vine tomatoes for a bright, summery skillet meal that is ready in minutes. Served over rice or with crusty bread, this is a restaurant-quality dinner at a fraction of the cost.
Sale items used: Large Raw EZ Peel Shrimp 31-40 ct. ($5.99/lb with digital coupon), Sweet Corn 5 for $2.00, Tomatoes on the Vine ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 20 minutes
