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

Chicken mushroom rice skillet

ALDI meal plan — Start cooking 2/4/18

  • Sunday: Some kind of big game or something on tonight, I think 😉 — so let’s do… BBQ red pepper jelly spareribs (substitute chicken broth for the beer), tortilla chips with guacamole (use tomato, since you won’t be freezing it), and a bowl of mixed strawberries & blueberries.
  • Monday: Vegetarian black bean chili (use red onion instead of yellow). Top with sour cream, chopped green onion, and cheddar, and serve with cilantro lime rice (made w/ the rest of the vegetable broth), plus a couple of sliced tomatoes topped with a little salt (reserve one tomato for Tues).
  • Tuesday: Spice rubbed fish tacos (substitute red onion for yellow). Serve in tortillas topped with chopped tomato, chopped green onion, avocado, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. On the side: Cucumber salad with lime & cilantro.
  • Wednesday: Thyme for a one pan chicken mushroom rice skillet (use red onion instead of yellow). On the side: Sauteed green beans (reserve 4 oz of the bag for Friday).
  • Thursday: Brats with sauteed bell peppers & red onions (use two of the bell peppers and saute them in olive oil with a sliced onion and a little garlic, while you cook the brats in a separate pan). Serve brats topped with peppers & onions on hot dog buns, with your Caesar salad kit on the side.
  • Friday: Sweet & tangy chicken vegetable stir fry. Serve sliced mango on the side.
  • 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.

Ad markets and dates

This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 1/28-2/3 in Sunday ad markets, and 1/31-2/6 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 1/31/18 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 2/4/18.

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for these meal plans. I discovered them a couple weeks ago and they have saved me so much time, money and agony. :) Seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart! We have enjoyed every single one and the portions are perfect for our family of 4 eaters (and one 6 week old).
