Publix Gluten-Free Meal Plan

📅 Week of August 19 through August 25, 2026 🍽️ 4 people gluten-free

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: This week's plan leans hard on four genuinely affordable proteins to keep the week in check. Publix Pork Italian Sausage at $5.69 for a full 20-oz tray is the standout deal of the week, and Butterball Ground Turkey at $9.00 for two trays gives you two pounds of lean protein for a song. GreenWise Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast at $4.99/lb and Holmes Smokehouse Rope Sausage at 2 for $10.00 round out the economical four nights with plenty of variety in flavor and cooking method. The one premium night goes to White Shrimp at $7.99/lb, which is the least expensive of the seafood and steak options on this flyer by a meaningful margin, making it the smartest splurge of the week. The Publix Extra Lean Pork Loin Tenderloin BOGO was skipped entirely because the flyer does not state the base price per pound, so there is no reliable way to calculate what you would actually pay at the register.
