Burger Night
A big pack of ground beef gives you a lot of protein for the money, with plenty left for tacos later in the week.

Signature SELECT 80% Lean Ground Beef Mega Pack 6-lbs. or more ($4.99/lb, about 16 g protein per $), Hass Avocado, Mango, Eggplant, Cucumber, Red, Orange, Yellow or Green Bell Pepper (4 for $5.00), O Organics Salad Blend 5 to 7-oz.

The weekend bonus
A bag of pumpkin or sunflower seeds turns into an afternoon project: count them, sort them, or plant a few in a cup on the windowsill. Save the rest for a seed-spitting contest in the backyard.
