Whole Story

Remember those resolutions you made last month? The trick to keeping up food-related resolutions past January is to not bore your taste buds or disappoint your budget. But how do you do that in a hurry? Plan ahead!

Take advantage of meal planning to avoid last minute decisions that’ll cost you. Our seasonally inspired daily meal planner can help you cut back on spending and time without scrimping on flavor. You’ll eat well easily, for less!

MONDAY: Veggie Monday
Start the week right with soup and sandwich perfection. Pick up Health Starts Here^® Soups (download the coupon) and prepare smoked gouda and sliced-apple grilled cheese sandwiches on Health Starts Here^® bread (download the coupon).

TUESDAY: Chili Out

Pick a chili that suits your time and budget and serve over tortilla chips with a sprinkle of Organic Shredded Mexican Blend cheese. Sliced organic navel oranges with honey and nuts make a sweet conclusion.

WEDNESDAY: Cook’s Night Off

Make it easy on the chef with Whole Foods Market^TM frozen skillet meals and a salad with 365 Everyday Value® Organic Light Caesar Dressing and Croutons. Cheers to Harthill Farms wine* too!

THURSDAY: Steak and Potatoes 

It’s meat-and-potatoes night with a twist! Top baked potatoes with cooked top-sirloin strips, onion and bell pepper, and finish with cheese. Pour Tarima Monastrell wine* and then serve simple strawberries and cream or our special recipe for dessert.

FRIDAY: Fish Friday
Farm-raised Salmon with Sautéed Swiss Chard is a tasty way to bid adieu to the workweek. Pair with a whole grain of your choice (learn to cook them). Serve vanilla ice cream (download the coupon) with candied citrus peels if you’ve got ‘em.

WEEKEND: Sunday Funday
Whether you’re enjoying board games by the fireplace or snowball fights in the cold, treat your family with a selection of chips and dips and New King Ranch Casserole. Coconut water will quench everyone’s thirst.

* It’s a new year, but the old laws hold: some of our stores sell alcohol, some don’t. Please see our list of stores that do sell alcohol or our list of stores that do not sell alcohol.
