Piggly Wiggly Vegetarian Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: Beans are the star of this week's plan at just $2.99/lb, making them the most economical protein anchor on the flyer and a great base for two very different dinners - a smoky skillet and a hearty stuffed potato. Eggs come in next as a budget-friendly protein, anchoring a satisfying vegetable frittata night. Borden Shredded Cheese paired with Barilla pasta and Classico sauce gives you a rich, filling pasta bake for well under $2 per person in protein cost. The Bertolli Alfredo sauce with broccoli and pasta rounds out the week with a creamy, quick weeknight dinner that leans on the produce sale. The biggest savings driver this week is stacking the multi-buy pasta deals (2/$4.00 on Barilla, $2.49 on Classico, $3.49 on Bertolli) alongside the $0.99/lb carrots and $1.99/lb broccoli to build filling, flavorful plates without reaching for anything premium.
