Piggly Wiggly Dairy-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The Assorted Pork Chops at $1.59/lb are the standout bargain this week and anchor one of the most economical nights on the plan. Fresh Whole Chicken at $1.69/lb is the second-best deal and earns a second night, roasted whole so nothing goes to waste. Fresh Ground Beef at $4.79/lb is a reliable mid-week workhorse that keeps costs reasonable, and the Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin at $4.99 for the whole package is a genuinely great flat-price deal that feeds all four of you for about $1.25 a head. The Boneless Beef Top Sirloin at $7.99/lb is the most expensive protein on the flyer and earns the one premium night; even on sale it costs roughly $16 for 2 lbs, so it is used just once and paired with inexpensive produce sides to keep the week balanced. Skipping shrimp, cube steaks, and the large-format Wesson oil kept the total from climbing unnecessarily.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Assorted Pork Chops with Sauteed Broccoli and Sliced Beefsteak Tomatoes
Description: Bone-in assorted pork chops are seasoned with McCormick Grill Mates and seared in a hot skillet until golden and cooked through, then rested briefly before serving. Broccoli crowns are sauteed in the same pan with garlic and olive oil, and fresh beefsteak tomatoes are sliced alongside for a bright, no-fuss plate.
Sale items used: Assorted Pork Chops (Family Pack), Broccoli Crowns, Beefsteak Tomatoes, McCormick Grill Mates Seasoning
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 2 lbs of Assorted Pork Chops (roughly one to two chops per person depending on size); 1 lb Broccoli Crowns; 1 lb Beefsteak Tomatoes. One package of McCormick Grill Mates Seasoning seasons the full batch.
Tuesday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Whole Chicken with Russet Potatoes and Baby Carrots
Description: A fresh whole Springer Mountain Farms chicken is rubbed with McCormick Grill Mates seasoning and roasted in the oven at 400 degrees until the skin is golden and the juices run clear, surrounded by quartered russet potatoes and baby carrots that roast in the drippings. The result is a complete one-pan dinner with tender vegetables that have absorbed all the savory chicken flavor.
Sale items used: Fresh Whole Chicken (Springer Mountain Farms), Best Choice Russet Potatoes (5 lb bag), Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb), McCormick Grill Mates Seasoning
Prep time: 20 minutes prep, about 75 minutes total roasting time
Serving note: Use one whole chicken approximately 4 lbs; one 5 lb bag of russet potatoes (use roughly half the bag, about 2.5 lbs, and store the rest); one 1 lb bag of baby peeled carrots. Make-ahead note: the chicken can be seasoned and refrigerated uncovered the night before for crispier skin; plan for 75 to 90 minutes of oven time before serving.
