5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Skillet Sausage and Potato Hash with Bell Peppers
Description: Sliced smoked sausage gets browned in a skillet with diced red potatoes and colorful bell peppers for a hearty, one-pan meal kids love. Everything cooks together in about 25 minutes for a simple, satisfying dinner with familiar flavors.
Sale items used: Earl Campbell's Smoked Sausage (2 for $5.00), Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes 5 lb bag (2 for $7.00), Red/Yellow/Orange Bell Peppers (2 for $3.00)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use about 4 oz of smoked sausage, 1 medium potato (roughly 6 oz), and half of one bell pepper. Buy the 2-pack of Earl Campbell's and freeze the second link for another week. The 5 lb potato bag will cover this meal and Tuesday's roasted potatoes with plenty left over.
Tuesday
Meal: Baked Bone-In Chicken Breasts with Roasted Potatoes
Description: A juicy bone-in chicken breast is seasoned simply and baked until golden, served alongside crispy oven-roasted potato wedges that kids find irresistible. This is a classic, no-fuss dinner that is easy to prep and smells amazing while it bakes.
Sale items used: Bone-In Chicken Breasts Family Pack ($1.69/lb), Best Choice Red or Gold Potatoes 5 lb bag (2 for $7.00 - purchased Monday)
Prep time: 15 minutes prep, 45 minutes bake
Serving note: Buy approximately 0.75 lb of bone-in chicken breast (about 1 breast piece) at $1.69/lb, totaling roughly $1.27. Use 1 to 2 medium potatoes from the bag purchased Monday. Total bake time is about 45 minutes, so preheat the oven early and get potatoes in first since they may need a few extra minutes.

Wednesday
Meal: Ground Chuck Tacos with Shredded Cheese and Tomato

Thursday
Meal: Panko-Crusted Baked Tilapia with Corn and Dole Coleslaw
Description: A tilapia fillet gets coated in a light, crispy crumb crust and baked until flaky, served with a side of sweet corn and creamy pre-made coleslaw that comes together in minutes. This is a mild, kid-approved fish dinner that does not taste "fishy" and is easy enough for a busy weeknight.
Sale items used: Sea Best Frozen Fresh Tilapia Fillets 16 oz ($4.79 each), Dole Coleslaw 14 oz ($1.29 each), Libby's Vegetables 28-29 oz ($2.19 each), Best Choice Salad Dressing 16 oz ($2.09 each)
Prep time: 10 minutes prep, 20 minutes bake
Serving note: Use 1 tilapia fillet (the 16 oz bag holds about 4 fillets, so freeze the rest). Use roughly one-quarter of the Dole coleslaw bag and dress it with a small drizzle of Best Choice dressing. Serve with a half-cup portion of canned corn from the Libby's can and refrigerate the rest for the week.
