If Mondays feel like survival mode in your house, I found a super easy dinner win for you!
At Hy-Vee, there’s a $4 hot meal deal every Monday from 4:00 – 7:00pm, and it’s honestly one of the easiest ways to get dinner on the table without cooking — or blowing the budget. Even better? Kids 12 and under eat FREE!

This is in-store only, happening every Monday evening through March 30, 2026, which means you can basically plan your Monday nights around it for the rest of the school year.
Here’s what’s on the menu:
Monday, Feb. 2
Pasta with meat sauce and a breadstick
Monday, Feb. 9
HyChi rice bowl
(Chicken & biscuits at stores without HyChi)
Monday, Feb. 16
Pulled pork dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy, and BBQ baked beans
Monday, Feb. 23
Goulash with a breadstick
Monday, March 2
Chicken Alfredo with a breadstick
Monday, March 9
HyChi rice bowl
(Chicken broccoli bake at stores without HyChi)
Monday, March 16
Two chicken tenders with mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn
Monday, March 23
Pork chop dinner with a baked potato and green beans
Monday, March 30
Tenderloin sandwich
(Add fries for $2 — which feels very worth it)
Again, you must dine in to get this deal. For under $10, you can feed yourself and the kids, skip dishes, and reclaim your Monday night. Win win!
If you’re local to the Twin Cities and trying to keep grocery and takeout costs under control, this is one of those deals worth bookmarking — or setting a weekly reminder on your phone.
