5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Braised Chicken Leg Quarters with Vidalia Onions and Carrots
Description: Two golden 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, comforting dish is perfect for two and makes excellent use of one of the best-priced proteins in the store this week.
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 active, 55 minutes total
Serving note: Use 2 leg quarters, approximately 1.5 lbs total from the 10 lb. bag; slice 0.5 lb of Vidalia onion and use the full 1 lb. bag of carrots split across the week; total cook time runs close to an hour, so start the braise early and let it simmer hands-free while you prep sides.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Pork Sausage and Hominy with Peppers
Description: Sliced pork sausage is browned in a hot skillet until caramelized, then tossed with tender hominy and tangy pickled peppers for a bold, satisfying one-pan dinner for two. The smoky, slightly spicy flavors come together quickly and make this a great weeknight meal with minimal cleanup.
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 the full 16 oz. sausage roll, crumbled or sliced, split evenly between two plates; use the full 25 oz. can of hominy and about half the jar of peppers to taste; reserve remaining peppers for later in the week.
Wednesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Sirloin Pork Chops with Scalloped Potatoes and Broccoli
Description: Two boneless sirloin pork chops are seared in a hot skillet to a golden crust and served alongside creamy box scalloped potatoes and steamed broccoli crowns for a classic, well-rounded dinner. The combination of tender pork, rich potato, and crisp broccoli gives this meal great variety and satisfying flavor at a very low cost per serving.
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: 15 minutes active, 40 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb. of pork chops (2 chops) at $2.39; use 1 box of scalloped potatoes which serves 2 generously; use about 0.75 lb. of broccoli crowns at $1.49; scalloped potatoes take about 30 minutes in the oven, so get them started before searing the chops.

Thursday
Meal: Ground Turkey Tacos with Refried Beans and Cherry Tomatoes
Description: Seasoned ground turkey is cooked with taco spices and loaded into crispy taco shells alongside warm refried beans and fresh cherry tomatoes for a bright, flavorful taco night built for two. This meal is fast, fun, and uses several pantry-friendly sale items to keep costs low while delivering big flavor.

Friday
Meal: Lemon-Seasoned Pan-Fried Flounder Fillets with Russet Potatoes and Carrots
Description: Delicate flounder fillets are lightly seasoned with fresh lemon juice and pan-fried to a crisp golden finish, served alongside oven-roasted russet potato wedges and tender glazed carrots for a bright and satisfying end to the week. The fresh lemon lifts the mild fish beautifully and the roasted vegetables round out the plate with color and sweetness.
Sale items used: Sea Best Fresh Frozen Flounder Fillets (16 oz.) at $5.99 each, Fresh Lemons (2 lb. bag) at $3.99 each, Best Choice Russet Potatoes (10 lb. bag) at $4.99 each, Green Giant Baby Peeled Carrots (1 lb. bag) at $0.99 each
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes total
Serving note: Use the full 16 oz. package of flounder fillets split between two people; use 2 to 3 medium russet potatoes from the 10 lb. bag for wedges (the rest of the bag keeps well all week); use about half the second bag of carrots; potato wedges take about 35 minutes at 425 degrees, so get them in the oven first before pan-frying the fish.
