Meijer Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
No meat or seafood is on the menu this week, so beans and cheese carry the protein.
Why these meals: Since you're shopping Meijer's sale shelves this week, I built five vegetarian dinners around beans, rice and produce that stretch across several nights. The one pack of Randall Deluxe Beans at $4.19 covers both Wednesday's pie pumpkin and creamer potato sheet pan and Thursday's bean and cheese quesadillas, so you buy it once and use it twice. The $2.99 pack of Multicolor Peppers carries Monday's chili and Friday's tomato and pepper skillet rice, and rice appears on both of those nights too. Tuesday's baked pasta with Ragu and Tillamook cheese is your comfort-food night, with an Earthbound Farms salad on the side, and the $2.00 pack of pie pumpkins gives you one to roast on Wednesday.
