5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Baked Whole Chicken Wings with Crinkle Cut Fries and Cauliflower
Description: A generous portion of crispy oven-baked chicken wings seasoned with pantry spices, served alongside golden crinkle cut fries and roasted cauliflower florets for a satisfying, well-rounded plate. Everything bakes together in stages so you get hot, crispy results with minimal cleanup.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh whole chicken wings (family pack, $1.99/lb), Frozen crinkle cut French fried potatoes (32 oz., $1.99), Cauliflower (1 ct., $2.49)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 45 minutes oven time
Serving note: Use approximately 0.75 lb of wings (about 3-4 wings) for 1 person, costing roughly $1.49. Bake wings at 425F for 40-45 minutes, adding fries to a second rack for the last 25 minutes and cauliflower florets (about one-quarter of the head) alongside. The fries and cauliflower will keep for additional meals this week - prep the full tray of fries and store leftovers in the fridge.
Tuesday
Meal: Ground Turkey Skillet Taco Bowls with Avocado
Description: Seasoned ground turkey is browned in a skillet with taco spices and served over a simple base with fresh sliced avocado for a hearty, protein-packed bowl. This quick one-pan meal comes together in under 30 minutes and delivers bold flavor with minimal effort.
Sale items used: Butterball fresh all natural ground turkey 93% lean (16 oz., $2.99), Avocados (4 ct. pack, $3.49)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use the full 16 oz. package of ground turkey - cook half for tonight and refrigerate the other half for a quick lunch or second meal. Slice 1 avocado from the 4-pack for this bowl; the remaining 3 avocados will be used later in the week. Season turkey with pantry cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt.

Wednesday
Meal: Sauteed Chicken Tenderloins with Pesto over Bronze Cut Pasta
Description: Tender chicken tenderloins are quickly sauteed in olive oil until golden, then tossed with bright, herby pesto Genovese and al dente bronze cut pasta for a restaurant-quality dinner in minutes. The pesto coats every strand of pasta beautifully, making this a deeply flavorful and satisfying weeknight meal.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh boneless/skinless chicken tenderloins ($3.49/lb), Lidl Preferred Selection pesto Genovese sauce (6.7 oz., $1.49), Lidl Preferred Selection bronze cut pasta (16 oz., $1.49)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb of chicken tenderloins for 1 person, costing roughly $1.75. Cook about 3 oz. (dry weight) of pasta for a single serving - the remaining pasta keeps in the pantry. Use 2-3 tablespoons of pesto for this serving; the rest of the jar stores well in the fridge for up to a week.
Thursday
Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Loin Center Cut Chops with Smoked Sausage and Pasta in Tomato Sauce
Description: A juicy pan-seared pork chop and a few slices of smoky sausage are nestled into a rich tomato pasta sauce and served over bronze cut pasta for a hearty, Italian-inspired dinner. The combination of two proteins makes this feel like a special meal while keeping the cost low.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh boneless pork loin center cut chop ($3.49/lb), Johnsonville smoked sausages (14 oz., $3.99), Lidl Preferred Selection pasta sauce (24.7 oz., $2.99), Lidl Preferred Selection bronze cut pasta (16 oz., already purchased Wednesday)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 0.5 lb (one chop) of pork loin, costing roughly $1.75. Slice 2-3 links worth of smoked sausage from the 14 oz. package and pan-sear alongside the chop; store remaining sausage links in the fridge or freezer. Use about one-third of the pasta sauce jar for this serving and refrigerate the rest. Cook 3 oz. dry pasta from the already-purchased package.
