Piggly Wiggly Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's flyer is a genuine bargain for low-carb cooking, with pork leading the way at some of the lowest prices of the year. Chicken leg quarters at $0.79/lb are the undisputed anchor of the week, and boneless country style pork ribs at $2.19/lb and Smithfield pork tenderloin at $4.99 a package give you two more satisfying, protein-rich dinners without breaking the bank. Eckrich smoked rope sausage at $3.79 rounds out the economical nights with a quick, flavorful skillet dinner. For the one premium night, the Boneless Beef Sirloin Tip Steaks at $6.99/lb are the best value among the three Angus beef options on the flyer - they come in well under the T-Bone at $9.99/lb and the roast requires a much larger purchase to feed four. The T-Bone and sirloin tip roast were deliberately skipped to keep the week's total in a reasonable range. Broccoli, zucchini, and Birds Eye vegetable blends fill out every plate with low-carb color and fiber, and the Dole Salad Kit on sale makes one night's side effortless.
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Leg Quarters with Roasted Broccoli
Description: Bone-in chicken leg quarters are seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika, then baked in the oven until the skin is golden and the meat is cooked through to the bone. Broccoli crowns are tossed in oil and roasted alongside the chicken on a second rack, picking up caramelized edges while the chicken finishes.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters, Broccoli Crowns
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 50 minutes total
Serving note: Use 4 leg quarters (approximately 2.5 lbs from the 10 lb bag). Use 1.5 lbs of broccoli crowns, cut into florets. Total oven time is about 45-50 minutes at 400 degrees F; no make-ahead needed.
Recipes:
- Roasted chicken legs and cherry tomatoes with garlic butter
- Crispy Chicken Leg Quarters (Keto, Paleo, Whole30, Low-Iron)
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops with Zucchini and Tomatoes
Description: Boneless sirloin pork chops are seasoned and seared in a hot skillet until golden on both sides and cooked through, then rested briefly before serving. Sliced zucchini and beefsteak tomatoes are sauteed in the same pan with garlic and a splash of Worcestershire, picking up the fond from the pork for a simple pan sauce.
Sale items used: Family Pack Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops, Zucchini or Yellow Squash, Hothouse Beefsteak Tomatoes, French's Mustard or Worcestershire
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 lbs of boneless sirloin pork chops (4 chops, roughly 0.5 lb each). Use 1 lb zucchini and 0.5 lb beefsteak tomatoes. Buy 1 bottle of French's Worcestershire (the 2/$4.00 deal; purchase 2 bottles to meet the deal minimum, second bottle is a pantry bonus).
Recipes:
- Mediterranean Boneless Pork Chops with Summer Veggies
- Pan Seared Pork Chops
Wednesday
Meal: Smoked Rope Sausage and Broccoli Skillet with Best Choice Cheese
Description: Eckrich fully cooked smoked rope sausage is sliced into coins and browned in a skillet until the cut sides are deeply caramelized, then broccoli florets are added with a splash of water and the lid goes on to steam the broccoli tender. The whole skillet is finished with shredded Best Choice cheese melted over the top for a satisfying, cheesy one-pan dinner.
Sale items used: Eckrich Fully Cooked Smoked Rope Sausage, Links or Lil Smokies, Broccoli Crowns, Best Choice Cheese
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 package (up to 14 oz) of Eckrich smoked rope sausage. Use 1 lb broccoli crowns. Use 1 package (6-8 oz) of Best Choice Cheese, shredded. Purchase 2 packages of Best Choice Cheese to meet the 2/$4.00 deal; use one tonight and save one for another use.
Recipes:
- LOW CARB SMOKED SAUSAGE BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
- Keto Sausage and Broccoli
Thursday
Meal: Smithfield Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Zucchini and Dole Salad
Description: A Smithfield marinated pork tenderloin is roasted in the oven according to package directions until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, then sliced into medallions and served with the pan juices. Sliced zucchini is sauteed in a separate pan with oil and onion while the tenderloin rests, and a Dole Salad Kit rounds out the plate with minimal prep.
Sale items used: Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloins, Picnics or Loin Fillets, Zucchini or Yellow Squash, Always Save Onions, Dole Salad Kit
Prep time: 10 minutes active, 45-55 minutes total
Serving note: Use 1 package of Smithfield pork tenderloin (18.4-23 oz, feeds 4). Use 1 lb zucchini and 1 bag (2 lb) of onions (use about half the bag tonight). Use 1 Dole Salad Kit. Check the salad kit dressing packet for carb content; if it is a creamy or vinaigrette style with more than 3g net carbs per serving, set it aside and dress the salad with olive oil and vinegar from the pantry instead. Tenderloin roasts in roughly 25-35 minutes at 425 degrees F; rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Beef Sirloin Tip Steaks with Green Giant Vegetables
Description: Boneless beef sirloin tip steaks are patted dry, seasoned generously with salt and pepper, and seared in a very hot cast iron or heavy skillet to develop a deep brown crust, then finished to medium doneness and rested before slicing. A bag of Green Giant vegetables is prepared on the stovetop as a quick, low-carb side, and Duke's mayonnaise mixed with Louisiana Hot Sauce makes a fast dipping sauce for the table.
Sale items used: USDA Select Black Canyon Angus Boneless Beef Sirloin Tip Steaks, Green Giant Vegetables, Duke's Mayonnaise, Louisiana Hot Sauce
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 lbs of boneless beef sirloin tip steaks (approximately 4 portions at 0.5 lb each). Use 1 can (14.5-15.25 oz) of Green Giant vegetables - buy 3 cans to meet the 3/$4.00 deal and use the extras later in the week or as pantry stock. Use 1 bottle of Duke's Mayonnaise and 1 bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce.
