Lidl Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Note: the list above is ordered by the per-serving figures below.
Why these meals: This week's Lidl plan keeps dinners varied and dairy-free for four by rotating a handful of proteins. The 3 lb SMITHFIELD pork shoulder at $4.47 covers two nights: it's roasted with yellow potatoes on Monday, then shredded into burrito wraps with corn on Wednesday. Tuesday's ground beef and kidney bean chili over rice uses the $3.99 grass-fed beef, and Thursday's salmon patties with pesto fusilli use two cans of NIXE salmon, so check the pesto label for cheese before you toss it with the pasta. Friday ends the week with garlic sauteed jumbo shrimp over Arborio rice, the one pricier item at $11.99 for 1.5 lbs.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
