Publix Standard Meal Plan

📅 Week of July 29 through August 04, 2026 🍽️ 4 people standard

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: The four everyday nights lean on GreenWise Ground Chicken at just $3.99 for the whole tray, Perdue Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts at roughly $6.74 for 1.5 lbs, Publix Italian Sausage (Pesto Provolone Cheese) at $5.69 for the whole package, and GreenWise Lean Pork Loin Chops at about $9.74 for 1.5 lbs - all genuinely affordable cuts that keep the per-person cost low. Friday earns the single premium night with White Shrimp at $6.99/lb, which at 1.5 lbs comes to about $10.49 - the most affordable seafood option on this flyer that still feels like a treat. The Rana Tortelloni 2-for-$10 deal anchors Monday with a hearty pasta base, and the Bush's Best Baked Beans 2-for-$3 deal adds a cheap, filling side on sausage night.
