Publix Gluten-Free Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: The four everyday nights lean on the most wallet-friendly proteins on this flyer: Publix Pork Picnic Half at just $2.49/lb anchors one hearty braised dinner, a single flat-priced Hatfield Pork Tenderloin at $5.99 covers another, GreenWise Italian Chicken Sausage at $5.99 a tray drives a quick skillet night, and Butterball Ground Turkey at 2 trays for $8.00 makes a satisfying stuffed-pepper dinner. The one premium night goes to Publix Chicken Wings at $3.99/lb, which is the most affordable of the higher-cost proteins and still delivers a crowd-pleasing, hands-on meal. Catfish, salmon, shrimp, and steak are all genuinely expensive per serving this week and were deliberately skipped to keep the total in range. The Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce (2 for $5.00) pulls double duty as a glaze and a dipping sauce, and the GreenWise Frozen Quinoa and Riced Cauliflower multi-buy deals fill out sides without adding much to the bill.

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Braised Pork Picnic Half with Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans

Make-ahead note: start the braise by early afternoon; the pork can rest covered for up to 30 minutes before serving with no loss of quality.

Description: Sliced GreenWise Italian Chicken Sausage is pan-seared until browned, then tossed with sauteed red and yellow bell peppers and served over steamed GreenWise Organic Riced Cauliflower for a low-carb, colorful weeknight dinner.

Meal: Hatfield Pork Tenderloin with Honey-Dijon Glaze and Roasted Brussels Sprouts
