Giant Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Note on order: the sausage pack is cheapest per serving at about $0.88, then chicken breasts at about $1.00, rotisserie chicken at about $1.50, pork chops at about $1.88, beef at about $2.25, and shrimp at about $3.00.
Why these meals: This week you buy the sausage deal once, 2 packs for $7.00, and it covers Tuesday's smoked sausage quesadillas and Thursday's sausage and potato skillet hash. Russet potatoes work twice as well, roasted next to the chicken breasts on Monday and diced into Thursday's hash, so one purchase handles both nights. The Giant Butter at $3.29 also does double duty, going into Wednesday's pork chops with garlic broccoli and again on Friday in the garlic butter shrimp over Ben's Original Ready Rice. When you grab the eggs, 2 cartons for $7.00, you will have 4 for Thursday's hash and plenty left over for breakfast.
