Things to know about these ALDI meal plans

A few notes before we get started:

  1. I try not to repeat main dish recipes more often than once a month, but you will see favorite easy recipes come up again in these weekly ALDI meal plans as the same meats and produce items come up again on sale. Part of the fun of meal planning lies in mixing old stand-bys with something new each week.
  2. If one or more of these recipes isn’t to your taste or if you have other ingredients to use, adapt this ALDI meal plan to your family’s preferences or use the ideas here to supplement to your own meal planning for the week.
  3. This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 5/7-5/13 in Sunday ad markets and 5/10-5/16 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 5/10/17 at my local store in the Chicago suburbs, but non-advertised prices and produce prices can vary by location & region. In either ad market, shop any time through Saturday and start cooking on Sunday 5/14/17.

So let’s get ready to make six complete dinners for a family of four, for $60.00 out the door!

I’m assuming here that you already have pantry basics like cooking oil and spices. Read through the recipes before you shop to make sure you have the necessary pantry staples on hand.
