Piggly Wiggly Standard Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: This week's plan leans into Piggly Wiggly's meat sale, giving you a different protein each night: chicken leg quarters on Monday, ground beef on Tuesday, pork steaks on Wednesday, country style pork ribs on Thursday, and New York strip steaks to close out the week on Friday. You'll notice a couple of ingredients doing double duty to save you trips and money, like the Green Giant potatoes showing up alongside Monday's chicken and again with Thursday's ribs, and the Taylor Farms green beans and brussels sprouts pairing with both Monday's roasted chicken and Friday's steaks. Each dinner is built around a simple cooking method, whether it's one-pan roasting, a quick skillet, or searing in a hot pan, so you're not juggling too many steps on a weeknight. Fresh produce like bell peppers, romaine, tomatoes, and sweet onions rounds things out so every plate has some crunch or freshness to balance the protein. Grab everything on this list in one trip and you'll have all five dinners covered for the family.
