On a quick non-ALDI note, I also run a “hot deals” Facebook group — where things are heating up considerably as we get closer to Black Friday. Come on and join us over there if you like to save everywhere, not just at ALDI! The more, the merrier. 🙂

But back to this week’s ALDI meal plan…

Let’s get ready to make six complete dinners for a family of four, just $60.00 out the door! Hope you find the free ALDI meal plans useful.

ALDI meal planning week of 11/26/17 – 12/2/17

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

Six Easy Dinners from ALDI for $60.00

ALDI meal plan — Start cooking 11/26/17

Sunday: Pork chops with balsamic peppers (use the yellow and orange peppers and substitute 1/2-1 tsp total of dried rosemary for fresh, to taste), served with spring mix salad.
Monday: Chipotle chicken wraps with kicked up avocado cream (cook up a little extra chicken in order to dice and set aside a cup of cooked chicken to use in tomorrow’s recipe). Serve with mixed blackberries & raspberries.
Tuesday: Baked chicken avocado taquitos topped with sour cream, served with tomato cucumber salad and a side of black beans.
Wednesday: Sausage & sweet potato sheet pan dinner. Serve with spring mix salad.
Thursday: Easy chipotle turkey chili topped with cheddar, sour cream, and tortilla chips. Also, cut the rest of your broccoli into florets (discarding stems), steam, then toss with a little olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and Parmesan to taste.
Friday: One pot Parmesan pasta with spinach (use regular instead of baby spinach). Serve with the last of your spring mix salad.
Saturday: Leftovers, family pizza night (ALDI sells a nice big take-and-bake pizza), eat out, or date night.

Things to know about the ALDI meal plans

A couple of notes

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.
If one or more of these recipes isn’t to your taste, or if you have other ingredients to use, you can 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.

Ad markets and dates

This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 11/19-11/25 in Sunday ad markets and 11/22-11/28 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 11/22/17 at 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 11/26/17.
