Explanation:

Red sauce is associated with pepperoni pizza, which was the lunch on Thursday, May 4. The shirt is near the bottom of the basket, meaning it was added earlier in the week? No, wait—wait, no: the red sauce comes from pepperoni pizza, which is Thursday's lunch. That's the only meal with a red sauce item.
