ALDI meal planning week of 11/4/18 – 11/10/18

I’m assuming that you already have pantry basics like cooking oil, common 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 11/4/18

• Sunday: Sheet pan pork roast with apples and acorn squash. On the side: Dice up 2 lbs of potatoes and roast them along with the pork roast (but on a separate pan, until soft on the inside, and tossed with a little olive oil, seasoned salt, black pepper, & garlic powder before cooking).
• Monday: Grilled cheese and tomato naan (substitute regular pesto). On the side, sweet & smoky carrots (use any old butter you have on hand plus the packaged bacon pieces) and grapes.
• Tuesday: Easy beef enchilada pie, topped with sour cream and green onions. Sliced apples and grapes on the side.
• Wednesday: Pesto tortellini with chicken, spinach, and tomatoes (use 5 oz baby spinach). Make garlic bread with half the sourdough.
• Thursday: Sheet pan chicken dinner with roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes (use 16 oz sprouts and 1.5 lbs chicken to make it a little heartier).
• Friday: Comforting kielbasa potato soup with sourdough toast, garden 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

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, 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. See: Pantry staples to stock up on and how to modify a meal plan for your family.

** Ad markets and dates

This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 10/28-11/3 in Sunday ad markets, and 10/31-11/6 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 10/31/18 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 11/4/18.
