Meijer Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This is a strongly vegetarian-friendly flyer with eggs, cheese, pasta, and tortillas doing the heavy lifting all week at very low per-serving costs. Eggs from the Eggland's Best 18-ct. pack anchor two different meals - a frittata and a savory egg scramble on English muffins - and the pack is large enough to cover both nights without buying a second carton, which keeps costs tight. Barilla Pasta at $1.49 a box is one of the best deals on the flyer and makes a genuinely satisfying dinner when tossed with Campari Tomatoes and Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese. The La Banderita Tortillas at $2.49 open the door to a completely different flavor profile - black bean and avocado burritos using the Minis Avocados on sale - so the week never feels repetitive. The Frederik's by Meijer Quiche is the priciest protein choice at about $3.00 per serving for two packages, and it earns the one elevated night by being a genuinely convenient, oven-ready centerpiece paired with a fresh tomato salad. Skipping the Amy's frozen entrees as a primary protein source (they run nearly $5 per person for a single small bowl) and building around pantry staples and produce kept the total well-managed for the week.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Egg and Campari Tomato Frittata with Shredded Cheese
Description: Whisked eggs are poured over halved Campari Tomatoes and Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese in an oven-safe skillet, then baked until set and golden at the edges. The result is a hearty, sliceable frittata that comes together in about 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Sale items used: Eggland's Best Cage Free White Eggs (18 ct.), Campari Tomatoes (16 oz.), Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese (32 oz.)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 8 eggs, the full 16 oz. package of Campari Tomatoes, and approximately 1.5 cups of Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese from the 32 oz. bag (the remainder carries over to later meals). Cut frittata into 4 wedges and serve directly from the skillet.
Recipes:
- Cherry Tomato Frittata
- Tomato Basil Frittata
Tuesday
Meal: Barilla Pasta Tossed with Campari Tomatoes, Cream Cheese, and Shredded Cheese
Description: Cooked Barilla Pasta is tossed in a skillet with softened Kraft Philadelphia Soft Cream Cheese, a splash of pasta water, and halved Campari Tomatoes to create a creamy, tangy sauce without any jarred product. Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese is scattered over the top just before serving so it melts slightly into the warm pasta.
Sale items used: Barilla Pasta (12-16 oz.), Kraft Philadelphia Soft Cream Cheese (7-8 oz.), Campari Tomatoes (16 oz.), Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese (32 oz.)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 box (12-16 oz.) of Barilla Pasta, the full 7-8 oz. package of Kraft Philadelphia Soft Cream Cheese, the full 16 oz. package of Campari Tomatoes, and approximately 1 cup of Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese. Serves 4 generously.
Wednesday
Meal: Black Bean and Avocado Burritos in La Banderita Flour Tortillas with Shredded Cheese
Description: Canned black beans (pantry) are warmed with cumin and garlic, then spooned into La Banderita Burrito Flour Tortillas alongside sliced Minis Avocados and a generous handful of Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese. Each burrito is folded and pressed in a dry skillet for about two minutes per side until the exterior is lightly toasted and the cheese melts inside.
Sale items used: La Banderita Fajita or Burrito Flour Tortillas (20-22.5 oz.), Minis Avocados (6 ct. bag), Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese (32 oz.)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 4 large tortillas from the La Banderita package (the pack contains 8-10 tortillas so roughly half the pack is used), all 6 mini avocados sliced, and approximately 1.5 cups of Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese. One burrito per person; serve with Heinz Ketchup or hot sauce from the pantry if desired.

Thursday
Meal: Scrambled Egg and Shredded Cheese Open-Face Sandwiches on Aunt Millie's English Muffins
Description: Eggs are scrambled low and slow in a skillet until just set and creamy, then piled onto toasted Aunt Millie's English Muffin halves and topped with Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese, which melts from the heat of the eggs. A side of sliced Campari Tomatoes dressed with a little olive oil and salt rounds out the plate.
Sale items used: Eggland's Best Cage Free White Eggs (18 ct.), Aunt Millie's English Muffins (6 ct./12 oz.), Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese (32 oz.), Campari Tomatoes (16 oz.)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 8 eggs, all 6 English muffins (split into 12 halves, 3 halves per person), approximately 1 cup of Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese, and the full 16 oz. package of Campari Tomatoes sliced on the side. The Eggland's Best 18-ct. carton covers both Monday and Thursday egg needs.
Recipes:
- Soft & Buttery Scrambled Egg Sandwiches
- English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich
Friday
Meal: Oven-Heated Frederik's by Meijer Quiche with Sunset Tomato Salad
Description: Two Frederik's by Meijer Quiches are heated in the oven according to package directions until warmed through and the tops are lightly set, then sliced into portions and plated alongside a bright salad of Sunset Flavor Bombs, Sugar Bombs or Bomb Squad Tomatoes tossed with olive oil, salt, and fresh basil from the pantry. The combination makes a satisfying Friday dinner that requires almost no active cooking time.
Sale items used: Frederik's by Meijer Quiche (12 oz.) x2, Sunset Flavor Bombs, Sugar Bombs or Bomb Squad Tomatoes (12 oz.)
Prep time: 35 minutes (mostly oven time)
Serving note: Purchase 2 packages of Frederik's by Meijer Quiche (12 oz. each); each quiche serves 2, so 2 quiches serve 4. Use the full 12 oz. package of Sunset Flavor Bombs, Sugar Bombs or Bomb Squad Tomatoes for the salad. Slide quiches into a 375-degree oven for about 25-30 minutes while you prep the salad.
