Kroger Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The Johnsonville Smoked Dinner Sausage at $2.99 a package is the standout deal of the week and anchors Monday with a hearty sausage and potato skillet for under $3 in protein. Simple Truth Boneless Chicken Breasts at $3.99/lb keep Tuesday and Wednesday affordable, with one night featuring a pan-seared preparation and another a quick stovetop stir with Hatch chiles. Kroger 93% Lean Ground Beef at $6.99/lb gives Thursday a satisfying ground beef and rice bowl, and Friday earns the single premium night with the Private Selection Cedar Plank Salmon at $17.99 for a 24 oz package - it is the best premium value on this flyer compared to ribeye at $12.99/lb for a much higher total outlay.
