Tonight’s kind of energy
Cheap dinners from the sale rack.
Penny Meals builds complete dinner ideas from markdowns at stores near you — tacos, pasta, breakfast-for-dinner, the whole delicious circus.
Sale-rack hero
Crispy chicken tacos
When the chicken hits a markdown, tacos happen. Cabbage, lime, done.
Weeknight classic
Saucy weeknight pasta
Pasta, sauce, a vegetable side. The official dinner of “we still have to eat.”
Breakfast for dinner
Eggs, toast, potatoes
Eggs went on sale. That is a complete personality and a complete dinner.
One pan
Chicken & rice
The skillet dinner that uses the markdown protein and almost no dishes.
Big flavor
Quick weeknight gumbo
When the sausage or chicken is cheap, the pot gets interesting.
Comfort
Loaded potato night
Potatoes were already a deal. We just invited toppings to the party.
