Piggly Wiggly Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week is built around Piggly Wiggly's low-carb meat and veggie sales, so you get a different protein every night: fryer leg quarters on Monday, pork chops on Tuesday, ground chuck on Wednesday, tilapia on Thursday, and country style pork ribs on Friday. The 3 lb bag of yellow onions at $1.99 does triple duty on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and one Philadelphia Cream Cheese at $2.49 covers both the Tuesday pan sauce and the Friday chorizo skillet. Pick plain, unsauced Birds Eye and PictSweet vegetables so the carbs stay low. Season and cover the Friday ribs in the morning, since they need a long bake. Move the tilapia to the fridge on Wednesday night so it is thawed for Thursday.
