5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Leg Quarters with Gold Potatoes and Broccoli
Description: Juicy oven-baked chicken leg quarters are seasoned simply and roasted alongside tender gold potatoes and fresh broccoli crowns for a classic, kid-approved dinner. This hands-off meal is easy to prep and fills the whole kitchen with a comforting aroma that gets everyone to the table fast.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters ($0.79/lb), Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes 5 lb bag ($3.49), Broccoli Crowns ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes in oven
Serving note: Purchase approximately 2 lbs of leg quarters (2 large pieces) at $0.79/lb = $1.58; use about 1 lb of broccoli crowns at $1.99/lb = $1.99; the 5 lb potato bag will cover this meal and Thursday's meal; make-ahead tip: season the chicken the night before and refrigerate so it goes straight into the oven at dinner time.
Tuesday
Meal: Spaghetti with Carolina Pride Pork Sausage and Prego Pasta Sauce
Description: Crumbled Carolina Pride pork sausage is browned in a skillet and simmered with Prego pasta sauce, then tossed with spaghetti noodles for a hearty, familiar meal kids love. Keep it mild and saucy for a dinner that feels like a restaurant-style treat at home.
Sale items used: Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Roll 16 oz ($2.99), Prego Pasta Sauce ($2.00, one jar from 2/$4.00 deal), Creamette Long Pasta 12-16 oz ($1.00 from 10 for $10.00)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use half the 16 oz sausage roll (about 8 oz) for 2 people and refrigerate the rest for another use; cook about 6 oz of spaghetti noodles; use half the jar of Prego sauce and refrigerate the rest; buying 2 jars of Prego to get the deal means you have a second jar on hand for the week.
Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops with Corn and Zucchini
Description: Boneless sirloin pork chops are quickly seared in a skillet until golden and juicy, then served alongside sweet corn and tender sliced zucchini for a simple weeknight plate kids will clean up. The mild flavors and colorful veggies make this a fun and easy dinner with almost no fuss.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops ($2.19/lb), McKenzie's Corn 20 oz (one bag from 2/$4.00 deal = $2.00), Zucchini or Yellow Squash ($1.49/lb)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of pork chops (2 chops) at $2.19/lb = $2.19; buy about 0.5 lb of zucchini at $1.49/lb = $0.75; the family pack will be larger than needed so freeze the remaining chops for a future meal; buying 2 bags of McKenzie's corn to get the deal gives you a second bag for the freezer.

Thursday
Meal: Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Baked Beans and Gold Potatoes
Description: A Smithfield marinated pork tenderloin roasts up juicy and flavorful with almost no seasoning work needed, paired with warm baked beans and simple roasted gold potatoes from the bag already at home. This is a satisfying, stick-to-your-ribs dinner that feels special but takes very little effort.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin 18.4-23 oz ($4.99 each), Yellowstone Baked Beans 15 oz ($2.29), Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 10 minutes active, 25-30 minutes in oven
Serving note: One Smithfield tenderloin (roughly 18-23 oz) feeds 2 people generously with leftovers possible; use the remaining gold potatoes from the Monday 5 lb bag; one can of baked beans is the right amount for 2 people; make-ahead tip: the tenderloin goes from package to oven, so prep is nearly zero.
Friday
Meal: Skillet Ground Round and Velveeta Slices Cheeseburger Pasta
Description: Browned ground round is mixed with cooked pasta and melted Velveeta slices in a single skillet for a creamy, cheesy cheeseburger pasta that kids absolutely go wild for. It comes together in under 30 minutes and tastes like a cheeseburger in every bite.
Sale items used: Family Pack 85% Lean Fresh Ground Round ($5.99/lb), Velveeta Slices 12 oz ($2.99), Creamette Short Pasta 12-16 oz ($1.00 from 10 for $10.00)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb of ground round at $5.99/lb = $4.49; use 6 oz of short pasta such as elbows or rotini; use 4-6 Velveeta slices from the 12 oz package and save the rest for snacks or sandwiches; the family pack ground round will be larger than 0.75 lb so divide and freeze the remainder.
