Piggly Wiggly Dairy-Free Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: The star of this week is the Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters at just $0.79/lb, one of the best poultry prices you will find anywhere, and it anchors Monday's dinner for well under $2 total in protein. The Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs at $2.19/lb and the Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins at $4.99 each give you two more satisfying pork nights at very low cost. The Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Roll at $2.99 for a full pound rounds out a hearty pasta night. Friday earns the single premium spot with the Sea Best Frozen Boneless Swai Fillets at $7.99 for a full 2-pound bag, which is actually a reasonable per-pound price for fish and makes it the best value among the pricier proteins on this flyer.

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Leg Quarters with Roasted Broccoli and Gold Potatoes
Description: Bone-in chicken leg quarters are seasoned and baked until the skin is golden and the meat is fully cooked through, served alongside tender roasted broccoli crowns and halved gold potatoes. This is a classic, filling weeknight dinner that comes together with minimal prep and uses the most economical protein on the flyer this week.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters, Broccoli Crowns, Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes, Wesson Cooking Oil, Lawry's Marinades
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 50 minutes total
Serving note: Use 4 leg quarters (approximately 2 lbs from the 10 lb bag), 1 lb broccoli crowns, and roughly 1.5 lbs of potatoes from the 5 lb bag. The full 10 lb bag will leave plenty for other meals or freezing; total oven time is about 45-50 minutes at 400 degrees F, so start the potatoes 10 minutes before adding the broccoli.

Tuesday
Meal: Sauteed Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs with Zucchini and Beefsteak Tomatoes
Description: Boneless country style pork ribs are sliced into strips and sauteed in a hot skillet with Lawry's marinade until browned and cooked through, then served alongside sauteed zucchini and sliced fresh beefsteak tomatoes. The combination of the savory pork and the bright summer vegetables makes this a fast, satisfying skillet dinner.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs, Zucchini or Yellow Squash, Hothouse Beefsteak Tomatoes, Lawry's Marinades, Wesson Cooking Oil
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 lbs of boneless country style pork ribs, 1 lb zucchini, and 1 lb beefsteak tomatoes. Sear the pork in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan and ensure a proper brown crust rather than steaming.

Wednesday
Meal: Carolina Pride Sausage and Prego Marinara Pasta with Green Giant Vegetables
Description: Carolina Pride pork sausage roll is crumbled and browned in a skillet, then simmered with Prego pasta sauce and tossed with cooked Louisa pasta for a hearty, crowd-pleasing dinner. A side of Green Giant canned vegetables rounds out the plate and keeps the meal balanced.
Sale items used: Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Rolls, Prego Pasta Sauce, Louisa Pasta, Green Giant Vegetables
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 roll (16 oz) of Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Rolls, 1 jar (24 oz) of Prego Pasta Sauce (buying 2 jars at the 2/$4.00 deal), 1 package of Louisa Pasta, and 2 cans of Green Giant Vegetables (buying 3 at the 3/$4.00 deal covers this night and Thursday). Drain and rinse the canned vegetables and warm them in the skillet after removing the sausage.

Check the label: supermarket buns and rolls often contain milk or whey even when nothing on the front says so.

Thursday
Meal: Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Baked Beans and Corn
Description: A Smithfield marinated pork tenderloin is sliced into medallions and pan-seared until cooked through, served with Yellowstone baked beans warmed on the stovetop and McKenzie's corn heated alongside. The marinade is already built into the tenderloin, so this dinner comes together quickly with almost no seasoning work.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins, Picnics or Loin Fillets, Yellowstone Baked Beans, McKenzie's Corn
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 package (18.4-23 oz) of Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins, Picnics or Loin Fillets, 2 cans (15 oz each) of Yellowstone Baked Beans, and 1 bag (20 oz) of McKenzie's Corn (buying 2 bags at the 2/$4.00 deal). Slice the tenderloin into 1-inch medallions before searing so each piece cooks evenly in about 4-5 minutes per side.
