Piggly Wiggly Gluten-Free Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The chicken leg quarters at $0.79/lb are the standout deal of the week and anchor Monday night at barely over a dollar for all four portions. Boneless country style pork ribs at $2.19/lb are the second-best value and make a hearty braised skillet dinner on Wednesday. Ground round at $5.99/lb is a mid-range pick that drives a satisfying skillet hash on Thursday, and the Eckrich smoked sausage at $3.79 a package rounds out Tuesday with a quick one-pan potato and sausage dinner. The Sea Best swai fillets at $7.99 for a full 32 oz bag came in cheaper per serving than either beef sirloin option and cheaper than the baby back ribs, so Friday gets a pan-seared fish night as the most affordable protein that still feels like a treat.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Leg Quarters with Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli
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 gold potatoes and broccoli crowns. Everything goes into the oven together for a hands-off, satisfying weeknight dinner with no gluten anywhere on the plate.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters, Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes (5 lb bag), Broccoli Crowns
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 50 minutes total
Serving note: Use 4 leg quarters (roughly 2 lbs total from the 10 lb bag); use about 1.5 lbs of potatoes from the 5 lb bag; use about 1 lb of broccoli crowns. Season with pantry olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Total time is just under 60 minutes with the oven at 425 degrees F.

Tuesday
Meal: Smoked Sausage and Potato Skillet with Zucchini
Description: Sliced Eckrich Fully Cooked Smoked Rope Sausage is browned in a skillet with diced gold potatoes and sliced zucchini, then seasoned with hot sauce and onion for a fast, filling one-pan dinner. The sausage is already fully cooked so the whole skillet comes together in well under 30 minutes.
Sale items used: Eckrich Fully Cooked Smoked Rope Sausage, Links or Lil Smokies (8.3-14 oz), Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes (5 lb bag), Zucchini or Yellow Squash, Always Save Onions, Louisiana Hot Sauce
Prep time: 10 minutes active, 25 minutes total
Serving note: Use 1 package of Eckrich sausage; use about 1.25 lbs of potatoes from the remaining bag; use about 1 lb of zucchini; use half of one 2 lb onion bag. A few dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce added at the end keeps it gluten-free and bright.

Wednesday
Meal: Braised Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs with Corn and Tomatoes
Description: Boneless country style pork ribs are seared in a skillet and then braised low and slow in a covered pan with diced tomatoes, onion, and a splash of chicken broth until fork-tender and deeply savory. McKenzie's frozen corn is stirred in at the end for a sweet contrast and a complete one-pot dinner.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs, Hothouse Beefsteak Tomatoes, Always Save Onions, McKenzie's Corn (20 oz)

Serving note: Use 2 lbs of boneless country style pork ribs; use about 0.75 lbs of beefsteak tomatoes (roughly 2 medium tomatoes); use the remaining half of the onion bag from Tuesday; use 1 package of McKenzie's Corn. Make-ahead note: braise can be started up to 2 hours early and held covered on low heat; the total cook time exceeds 60 minutes, so plan accordingly or start the braise while prepping other things.
