Six easy dinners from ALDI for $65

ALDI Meal Plan — start cooking 2/13/22

Sunday

• Slow cooker cheesy chicken enchilada chili, topped with additional cheddar, chopped green onion, and/or cilantro
• Serve with tortilla chips

Monday

• Stir fry medley for Valentine’s Day! Both: Chicken broccoli mushroom stir fry, and
• Ground beef & broccoli stir fry (use 1/3 of the fattier ground beef that’s on sale this week)
• Serve over cooked white rice
• Strawberries on the side
• Make a double batch of rice and reserve extra for tomorrow. Also: Cook up an extra 1/2 lb of the chicken when making the chicken for your stir fry, so that you can reserve 1.5 cups cooked chicken for tomorrow’s recipe — just cut it up a little smaller after cooking and set aside.

Tuesday

• Leftover chicken fried rice (use just half the bag of peas)
• Carrot stir fry

Wednesday

• Keema inspired ground beef quesadillas — Use white onion, the other half of the peas, and 1/3 of the ground beef. Add in a little chopped cilantro, if desired.
• Slice up the avocados
• Also make spicy green onion dip, using the last 1.5 cups of the sour cream & adjusting seasonings down to taste. Serve your dip with:
• Cut up carrot and celery sticks plus the rest of the tortilla chips. (Save 2 whole carrots for Friday.)

Thursday

• Korean style ground beef & spinach rice bowls (start the rice cooking before making the rest of the recipe; use 1/3 of the ground beef and a whole bag of the spinach)
• Egg drop soup

Friday

• Simple vegetarian white bean soup (use white onion)
• Salad, with the rest of the bag of spinach mixed with garden salad.

Saturday

• Leftovers, family pizza night (ALDI sells nice big take-and-bake deli pizzas), or order in.

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 2/6-2/12 in Sunday ad markets, and 2/9-2/15 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices are from my local store in the Chicago suburbs, and 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 2/13/22.
