Kroger Pickup Dinner Plan: Add These Items to Your Cart for the Week

Building a Kroger pickup order? Start with dinner.

A Kroger pickup order can make the week feel so much easier — but only if you know what to add to your cart.

Otherwise, it is easy to end up with snacks, breakfast items, random produce, and still no real answer to the question everyone asks at 5 p.m.:

What are we having for dinner?

The trick is to build your Kroger cart around flexible staples that can become multiple meals. Think rotisserie chicken, pasta, rice, potatoes, frozen vegetables, salad kits, meatballs, chicken tenders, flatbread, and one sauce that makes everything taste more complete.

That is where Le Sauce comes in.

Le Sauce helps Kroger shoppers turn a simple weekly grocery list into easy dinners that feel saucy, comforting, and a little more homemade — without making gravy, garlic butter, or pan sauce from scratch.

For this Kroger pickup dinner plan, we are focusing only on Le Sauce flavors shoppers can look for at Kroger:

• Le Sauce Roasted Chicken Gourmet Gravy for rotisserie chicken, chicken breasts, turkey, rice, mashed potatoes, biscuits, green beans, carrots, mixed vegetables, baked potatoes, and cozy chicken dinners.

• Le Sauce Beefy French Onion Gourmet Gravy for frozen meatballs, ground beef, deli roast beef, steak bites, pork chops, potatoes, mushrooms, onions, egg noodles, burger bowls, and hearty savory meals.

• Le Sauce Savory Garlic & Butter Gourmet Sauce for pasta, chicken tenders, rotisserie chicken, shrimp, salmon, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, potatoes, rice, flatbreads, and garlic-butter-style dinners.

If you are Googling “what should I add to my Kroger pickup order for dinner?”, this cart plan gives you a full week of easy meals from one smart grocery list.
