5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Braised Chicken Leg Quarters with Vidalia Onions and Carrots
Description: Two chicken leg quarters are slowly braised in a savory broth with sweet Vidalia onions and tender baby carrots until the meat is fall-off-the-bone juicy. This hearty one-pan meal is deeply satisfying and makes excellent leftovers for lunch the next day.
Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters (10 lb. bag) at $0.69/lb, Sweet Vidalia Onions at $0.99/lb, Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb. bag) at $0.99 each
Prep time: 20 minutes prep, 60 minutes braise (80 minutes total)
Serving note: Use approximately 1.5 lbs of leg quarters (about 2 pieces) at $0.69/lb = $1.04 for the protein. Slice half a medium Vidalia onion (about 0.25 lb) and use a generous handful of baby carrots. Make-ahead tip: braise on Sunday evening and reheat Monday for a quicker weeknight dinner.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Pork Sausage and Hominy with Peppers
Description: A half-pound of sliced pork sausage roll is browned in a hot skillet until crispy, then tossed with tender hominy and tangy pickled peppers for a smoky, satisfying Southern-style skillet meal. The hominy soaks up all the savory drippings and the peppers add a bright, zesty kick.
Sale items used: Carolina Pride Fresh Pork Sausage Rolls (16 oz.) at $2.99 each, Juanita's Hominy (25 oz.) at $2.29 each, Mt. Olive Peppers (12 oz.) at $1.99 each
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use half the 16 oz. sausage roll (about 8 oz.) for one serving and refrigerate the rest for another use. Open one 25 oz. can of hominy and use about half, storing the remainder covered in the fridge. Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of sliced peppers from the jar.
Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops with Scalloped Potatoes and Broccoli
Description: One boneless sirloin pork chop is seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, served alongside a quick box of Betty Crocker scalloped potatoes and steamed fresh broccoli crowns. The combination delivers a complete, restaurant-quality plate at a fraction of the cost.
Sale items used: Fresh Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops (Family Pack) at $2.39/lb, Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes (4 oz.) at $0.99 each, Broccoli Crowns at $1.99/lb
Prep time: 35 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of pork chops (1 chop) at $2.39/lb = $1.20 for the protein. Buy one box of scalloped potatoes and prepare the full box as directed - it reheats well for a side later in the week. Use about 0.5 lb of broccoli crowns at $1.99/lb = $1.00.

Thursday
Meal: Ground Turkey Tacos with Refried Beans and Cherry Tomatoes
Description: Seasoned ground turkey is cooked with taco seasoning and spooned into crispy taco shells, topped with fresh cherry tomatoes and a side of warm refried beans. This bright, flavorful taco night comes together in under 30 minutes and uses budget-friendly sale items throughout.

Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use half the 16 oz. package of ground turkey (about 8 oz.) for 2 to 3 tacos and refrigerate the rest for scrambled eggs or another meal. Use 3 to 4 taco shells from the box. Warm about half the can of refried beans and refrigerate the rest. Halve a handful of cherry tomatoes as a fresh topper.

Friday
Meal: Lemon-Seasoned Pan-Fried Flounder Fillets with Russet Potatoes and Carrots
Description: Flounder fillets are dusted with seasoning and pan-fried in a light coating until golden and flaky, then finished with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon. Crispy oven-roasted russet potato wedges and glazed baby carrots round out this fresh, satisfying end-of-week dinner.
Sale items used: Sea Best Fresh Frozen Flounder Fillets (16 oz.) at $5.99 each, Best Choice Russet Potatoes (10 lb. bag) at $4.99 each, Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb. bag) at $0.99 each, Fresh Lemons (2 lb. bag) at $3.99 each
Prep time: 15 minutes prep, 30 minutes cook (45 minutes total)
Serving note: Use about half the 16 oz. flounder package (2 fillets) and freeze the rest for later. Use 2 medium russet potatoes from the 10 lb. bag - the rest will last weeks in a cool, dry spot. Use a large handful of baby carrots. Squeeze half a lemon over the fish just before serving.
