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.

Ad markets and dates

This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 10/29-11/4 in Sunday ad markets and 11/1-11/7 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 11/1/17 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 11/5/17.

My aldi only carries country style boneless ribs. Do you know what temp/time I should use instead?

I'm not sure -- the boneless country style ribs are pretty different from bone-in ribs, and I generally cook them in the Crock-Pot. You might try something like this slow cooker recipe: https://www.chowhound.com/post/country-style-pork-ribs-663791?commentId=5145900 (and could add a little honey in with the BBQ sauce at the end to keep a similar flavor).
