Piggly Wiggly Kid-Friendly Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
The five dinners this week lean hard on the cheapest proteins on the flyer. Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters at $0.79/lb are an extraordinary deal and anchor one of the most satisfying family meals of the week. Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Roll paired with Prego pasta sauce and Creamette pasta gives you a hearty spaghetti night for under $3 in protein. Family Pack Fresh Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs at $2.19/lb are a steal for a slow-baked oven dinner, and Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops at the same price make a simple pan-seared skillet meal kids love. The one premium night goes to the Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins at $4.99 each - technically the most expensive per-serving choice among the five selected proteins, but still a very reasonable splurge compared to the beef steaks and T-bones on this flyer, which were deliberately skipped because their per-serving cost would have pushed the weekly total well above $20 per person. The Prego sauce and Creamette pasta multi-buy deals help stretch the grocery dollars even further across the week.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Leg Quarters with Gold Potatoes and Broccoli
Description: Chicken leg quarters are seasoned and baked in the oven until the skin is golden and the meat is juicy and falling-off-the-bone tender, making it a classic comfort dinner kids always go back for seconds on. Chunked gold potatoes and broccoli crowns roast alongside in the same pan, soaking up the savory drippings for a complete one-pan meal.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters, Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes (5 lb bag), Broccoli Crowns
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 55 minutes total (oven time included)
Serving note: Use 4 leg quarters (approximately 2 lbs from the 10 lb bag; freeze the remaining 8 lbs for future use). Use about 1.5 lbs of gold potatoes from the 5 lb bag and about 1 lb of broccoli crowns. Total oven time is about 45-50 minutes at 400 degrees F, so get the potatoes in first and add broccoli for the last 20 minutes.
Tuesday
Meal: Spaghetti with Carolina Pride Pork Sausage and Prego Pasta Sauce
Description: Sliced or crumbled Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Roll is browned in a skillet, then simmered with Prego Pasta Sauce and tossed with cooked Creamette spaghetti for a hearty, kid-approved pasta night. Serve with shredded Best Choice Cheese melted on top for extra cheesy goodness the whole table will love.
Sale items used: Carolina Pride Pork Sausage Rolls (16 oz), Prego Pasta Sauce (14.5-24 oz), Creamette Long & Short Pasta (12-16 oz), Best Choice Cheese (6-8 oz)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 roll (16 oz) of Carolina Pride Pork Sausage, 1 jar of Prego Pasta Sauce, and 1 box of Creamette pasta (12-16 oz) - one box feeds 4 comfortably as a main. Use 1 package of Best Choice Cheese (6-8 oz) for topping. Buy 2 Prego jars to meet the 2/$4.00 deal; use one tonight and save the second for another meal or freeze it.
Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops with Corn and Zucchini
Description: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops are seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then pan-seared in a skillet until cooked through with a lightly browned crust that kids find approachable and delicious. McKenzie's Corn and sliced zucchini cook quickly on the side for a colorful, balanced plate.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops, McKenzie's Corn (20 oz), Zucchini or Yellow Squash
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 2 lbs of boneless sirloin pork chops (4 chops, roughly 0.5 lb each). Use 1 bag of McKenzie's Corn (20 oz) and about 1 lb of zucchini or yellow squash. Buy 2 bags of McKenzie's Corn to meet the 2/$4.00 deal; use one tonight and save the second for later in the week or freeze it.

Thursday
Meal: Smithfield Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Baked Beans and Gold Potatoes
Description: The Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin comes pre-seasoned, so it goes straight into the oven for a fuss-free dinner that tastes like you worked all day on it - kids love the mild, savory flavor and the tender slices. Yellowstone Baked Beans and oven-roasted gold potato wedges round out the plate for a satisfying, hearty meal.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins, Picnics or Loin Fillets (18.4-23 oz), Yellowstone Baked Beans (15 oz), Best Choice Gold or Red Potatoes (5 lb bag)
Prep time: 10 minutes active, 30-35 minutes total (oven time included)
Serving note: Use 1 package of Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin (18.4-23 oz), which feeds 4 people. Use 1 can of Yellowstone Baked Beans and about 1.5 lbs of gold potatoes from the same 5 lb bag purchased Monday. Roast potato wedges at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes while the tenderloin cooks; heat beans on the stovetop in the last 10 minutes.
Friday
Meal: Skillet Ground Round and Velveeta Slices Cheeseburger Pasta
Description: Family Pack 85% Lean Fresh Ground Round is browned in a skillet with diced onion, then stirred together with cooked Creamette pasta and melted Velveeta Slices for a creamy, cheesy one-skillet dinner that kids go absolutely wild for. It is quick, filling, and tastes like a cheeseburger in pasta form - a guaranteed Friday night crowd-pleaser.
Sale items used: Family Pack 85% Lean Fresh Ground Round, Creamette Long & Short Pasta (12-16 oz), Velveeta Slices (12 oz), Always Save Onions, Yellow, Red or White (2 lb bag)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1.5 lbs of ground round, 1 box of Creamette pasta (12-16 oz), 1 package of Velveeta Slices (12 oz), and about half of one 2 lb onion bag (1 medium onion). Buy 2 bags of onions to meet the 2/$3.00 deal; use half a bag this week and keep the rest for other cooking.
