Meijer Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan is built around Meijer's sale meat case, starting with the Fresh from Meijer Whole Boneless Pork Loin at $2.99 for the 1.5 lbs you need for Monday's roast with creamer potatoes and carrots. Tuesday's skillet turkey spaghetti uses the Meijer Ground Turkey Roll at $2.99, with Barilla Pasta at $1.33 and Ragu at $1.50 rounding it out. Wednesday brings BBQ chicken thigh sandwiches with Bush's Baked Beans at $1.25 a can, and Thursday's sausage skillet with apples uses the Meijer Breakfast Sausage Roll. Monday's roast takes over an hour, so season and trim the pork the night before, and save the marinated pork tenderloin with Steamfresh vegetables for an easy Friday.
