Why it’s cheap
2 of the 9 ingredients were on sale at Kroger the week of October 18, 2026, led by boneless pork chops at $3.00 instead of $5.00.
The sale items rang up $4.99 under their regular prices.
Penny Meals prices a dinner by the share of each package you actually cook, adds an estimated shelf price for anything that wasn’t on sale, and counts pantry staples like oil and salt as free. That came to $2.06 a serving, or $8.24 for 4 servings.
