Piggly Wiggly Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: The chicken leg quarters at $0.69/lb are the single best protein deal on this entire flyer, and they anchor Monday with a deeply economical pan-seared dinner. Pork is the other workhorse this week: boneless sirloin pork chops at $2.39/lb and Carolina Pride sausage at $2.99 a roll give you two more filling, flavorful nights at very low cost. Ground chuck at $5.99/lb is a step up but still a solid everyday choice, and it handles Thursday's skillet dinner with ease. The Boneless Beef Top Sirloin Steaks at $8.99/lb are the clear premium item on this flyer, so Friday gets one steak night for the week, kept to a modest 1.5 lbs total to hold the cost in check. The Boneless Beef Shoulder Roast was tempting but would require a long braise well over an hour, and the flounder at two packages for four people pushed the cost higher than the sirloin at the portion size needed, so both were passed over in favor of the steak as the single premium night.
