Free ALDI Meal Plan week of 11/22/20 – 11/28/20

Free ALDI Meal Plan week of 11/22/20: Six dinners for four, $60!


This week’s ALDI meal plan brings us through… Thanksgiving! Yes, we’re still going to do six dinners for four for $60, even on this holiday week. This makes even more sense this year with our downsized Thanksgiving gatherings, right? Stay safe, everyone.

As always, use this menu plan as a starting point, modifying as necessary according to what is in stock in your area, what you have on hand in your pantry, and your own family’s dietary needs and preferences.

Things to know about these meal plans

A couple of notes

  1. I try not to repeat main dish recipes more often than once a month, but you will see favorite easy recipes 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 the recipes in this ALDI meal plan to your family’s preferences. Or, just use the ideas here to supplement your own meal planning! See: Pantry staples to stock up on and how to modify a meal plan for your family.

** ad markets & dates

This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 11/15-11/21 in Sunday ad markets, and 11/18-11/24 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices are from my local store in the Chicago suburbs, but non-advertised prices and produce deals *may vary* by location & region. In either ad market, shop any time through Saturday and start cooking on Sunday 11/22/20.
