Meijer Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week you get a different dish every night, starting with Skillet Ground Turkey Chili with Rice on Monday and finishing with Maple-Marinated Pork Tenderloin on Friday. Pork anchors both Thursday and Friday, and the 2 lb Meijer Whole Boneless Pork Loin at $3.98 is a great buy for the BBQ roast. Tuesday's chicken thighs ($4.79 for 1.5 lbs) and the Meijer Breakfast Sausage Roll ($2.99) in Wednesday's pasta keep the middle of the week easy. One bag of yellow onions or carrots covers Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and since everything needs to stay dairy-free, give the sausage and marinade labels a quick look while you shop.
