    4. Iā€™d love some quick and healthy lunch ideas too! I get tired of making myself sandwiches.

    1. I'd like to see less deals on processed foods and more focus on real food. Thanks for all that you do!

      2. Congratulations on your anniversary - I have been with you since the beginning. I think the blog is great the way it is - no changes required here!

    4. I would love to see all aldi crockpot meals or sheet pan meals! Easy evening dinners. I love your content!

    1. I'd love to see recipes that fit into a weight watchers menu. I've adapted quite a few and love your recipes!!

    2. Breakfast or lunch ideas would be awesome additions. I look forward to this blog every week- thank you for doing this!

  7. I love your website! I get great inspiration from your weekly Aldi meal plans! Would love to see more recipes that are specifically shelf-stable (e.g. all of the ingredients are frozen or from the pantry)

    2. I would to see some breakfast and lunches added in with dinners.
      Absolutely love your weekly posts. They have been very helpful and I have passed you on too many people!

    1. I am a couple month newbie and have been loving your blog! Would love to see some ideas on what you do with leftovers from the delicious meals you share with us

  15. I've been thrilled with the variety. I am interested in lunch ideas as well, especially for a growing toddler.

    1. First of all, thank you for blogging! Your meal plans have saved me so much time!

      I'd love to know what are some of your "must-haves", such as snack items or easy lunches, etc.

    2. I agree! Picky toddlers are basically impossible to feed and some lunch ideas would be awesome. We love trying your recipes! I never knew what naan was until a few months ago and now we have it every week. Thanks for all the ideas!

    1. Seeing the simple sides you include (i.e. grapes) has been refreshing and guilt-relieving for me. Thank you! I'd love to see more leftover recipes (or planned for a bulk meat) - I'm not very creative when it comes to leftovers.

  18. Not much I would change. Maybe throw in a few side dishes for meal plans or desserts.

  21. I am so thankful for the time and money you save me every week. I am newly married, working full time (and part time) and was stressed trying to prepare meals and save some dough. Your fabulous deal finding and meal planning has been such a positive (and delicious) weekly ritual. I praise your site to all my family, friends, and co-workers. Thank you for your upbeat, resourceful, and creative weekly plans that keeps my little household healthy and happy.

    1. Happy Anniversary! Time flies! I love when you post deals about freebies. Also when you ask in December what gifts weā€™re looking for. I saved a lot of money on presents this past year.

  25. Aldi is my go to place for my husband's daily smoothie ingredients: spinach and yogurt

  28. I think I would like to see more ā€œdumpā€ meals. The kind you just dump in the crockpot and call it a day! I love this site and answering this question was so hard because you do a great job as it is!

  29. Congrats on 11 years! I always love seeing recipes but I think you have a good balance going on!

  30. I really enjoy the Meal Plans you provide. It makes figuring out what to make for dinner so much easier. Keep them coming, please!!

  46. Love all your ideas. I love all in one pot meals and sometimes it's hard when your watching carbs.

    1. A diabetic plan would be awesome. Or even a meal plan with lower carb meals. A diabetic plan can have carbs, but each 15 grams of carbs is a serving. So a dinner meal would have 3-4 "servings" or 45-60 grams of carbs.
      Thanks for all the great recipes and the Aldi list. It's awesome!

  49. I'd love to see more large dishes. We're a family of 4 but, aim to make sure there's lunch for the next day.

  50. I would love to see more diabetic recipes/meal plans. Lots of people post Keto or vegan but what happened to the diabetic families. Sharing recipes is caring.

  238. I would like to see meals requiring less prep time, less waste, and healthy snacks for kids. I would also like to be able to interface your meal plan to my google calendar.

  239. I would like to see more Vegetarian ideas, even as a side dish. I always convert into main meals. Congrats on the anniversary!

  242. I would just like to see more low calorie entree recipes, but not in family sizes. We're just a couple of two so often times recipes are too big. We only need 4 servings or so

  244. I just found your blog last month and it had changed our dinners so much! We were in a rut, making the same dinners all the time. My son asks now if our dinners are from the lady that taught me how to cook šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜‚

    School age Aldi lunch ideas would be amazing because I feel like I am in a rut with lunches too!

  253. I would love to see the nutrition value or at least the calorie count on some of the recipes. But I am loving everything

  254. I would love to see some weekend breakfast ideas, packable lunch ideas, and baking/desserts! I am new to Aldi and would be so lost without you! <3

  255. Happy Anniversary! I'd love to see more vegetarian meals as well, especially for the meat-lovers like myself who are trying to cut back :).

  257. I love your simple and REAL recipes! Would love more side fish ideas, but enjoy it as is too!

  258. I would love to see you announce me as one of the winners, other than that you do a great job.

  259. Thank you for all you do! I can almost promise I found your website years ago when I still did couponing (back in the good ol days!) and I have really enjoyed your aldi recipes. Thank you so much, you're really helping out this overwhelmed ADHD mom. <3

  260. Would love some more beef entrees. We don't eat pork or much seafood due to allergies so "cheap" meal plans can be hard for us to find sometimes but yours have been so awesome!

  261. I am LOVING these meal plans for ALDI - but would be super stoked for breakfast & lunch ideas (school lunches a bonus) even if only 3 per week! Any way, what you provide is such a blessing to my family, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your hard work <3

  263. I would like to see more low carb recipes. Starting in February I am going on a low carb diet. I can use all the help with planning my meals as possible. Thanks for all you do!

  266. I would love to see more healthy snacks! And kid-friendly meals. I also would like the meal plan blog to be a little more user friendly, I am easily confused and I feel it is slightly difficult to maneuver around the recipes and meal plan. Hope that makes sense!

  267. I'd love to see some out of the box ideas for packing school lunches! We already do bento boxes and fun shapes. Need something to shake it up!

  268. First of all, Thank you for all you do! Your weekly recipes and menu plan help me to calm the chaos of dinnertime in my household. I would love to see more lunch ideas.

  273. More crock pot meals! I am a working mom of two year old twins and crock pot meals are my saviors on busy weeks! Allllllll the crock pot meals please!

  274. Iā€™m so glad I found you late last year! Canā€™t wait to get more exciting recipes this year!

  279. I would like to see suggestions for stocking up. Such as good price on ground beef, stock up for later dinners. This would give a better variety of dinners.

    1. I love this idea! If the meal plan told me today was a good day to buy 3 packs of chicken thighs for later weeks, that would be awesome!

  284. I would like to see more pantry shopping ideas that go along with whats on sale at Aldi.

  286. Lunch ideas for lunch boxes, especially ones without tree/pea nuts (my son's school doesn't allow them). I also enjoy seeing your cat posts! They make me laugh as my cat is just as bad sometimes!

  290. I love the variety of recipes! I would love to see some toddler-friendly lunch ideas and some healthy snack ideas!

  292. I would love to see more recipes for little kids who are picky! You know, toddlers. Also more reviews special buy items. Thanks!

  293. I would like to see more keto/carb friendly menu items šŸ™‚ However, I love this plan and I have been using for about 2 years!

  295. New here, only been following for about a month so it might take me a little while to find out what I want to see more of.

  296. I'd love to see more unique recipes using weird/eccentric/odd special buy ingredients! I also love a good instant pot meal!

  299. I definitely want to see more! You have made my meal planning so much easier! Thank you so much for this!

  300. You have the 6 dinners for under $60 (which we enjoy) but it would be great to occasionally have a full shop (breakfast lunch and dinner for the week) too.

  302. Love all the great information on this blog! Would love to see more recipes for large families, preferably healthy and low carb! We have a family of 6!

  304. Love the blog and all of the fun recipes - most of my family's favorite recipes have come from your meal plans! My hubby and I have cut way back on lunch costs due to having enough leftovers for us each to bring a lunch from home each day plus have leftovers for the weekend as well most of the time! I would love to see a recipe or two a month that includes some of the fun new kitchen gadgets people have - instant pot and air fryer! These recently got added to my kitchen so would love to be able to use these.

  305. My family loves the recipes. One thing that would make these Aldi meal plans even better for a crazy busy working mom ... a link with all the week's necessary groceries already in instacart! BAM!

  306. More meals with the jarred sauces that Aldi carries would be great! I tried your meal plan for the first time this week and I am loving it!

  307. I would love to see a lunch meal for the work week. I love your dinner meals and sometime have left overs. Something quick to pack and go.

  310. Hmm hard to think of anything I'd change but perhaps more vegetarian recipes or fewer with beef? We eat meat, including beef, but I am trying to do less for our environmental impact. Thanks for everything you do!

  311. I'd like to see Instant Pot recipes and freezer-friendly recipes.

    Features from local Aldi stores around the world (submitted by readers, I guess) would be great so we see just how diverse the stores are.

  312. I would like to see cheaper meals. I honestly canā€™t afford $60 a week. I just got laid off but will be getting paid from my job until March 26th so I canā€™t get any sort of food assistance until May. Also more emails lol.

  315. I just found your blog! I love that you do weekly Aldi meal plans. We are trying to shop there more and this will help out a lot. Keep it up!

  316. All of your meal plans assume pantry staples are on hand. Can you do a post on the best way to stock up on those staples?

  318. I am so thankful to have found your blog! Our household loves the variety offered by your meal plans. Iā€™d like to see some recipes utilizing the Instant Pot to make them even more time efficient.

  320. I would like to see more sheet pan dinners and side dishes with fresh vegetables.Your menus are a great source of inspiration to my meal planning,thanks.

  321. Thanks for all of your help! Planning meals is a chore that I put off as long as possible. Your meal plans really help me make choices and do the shopping in a fraction of the time that it would normally take me. I do agree with having InstaPot ideas or Air Fryer adaptations, if possible.

    Thanks for all you do! Have a dazzling day!

  328. I love your weekly meal plans! The guys in my family are big eaters so Iā€™m always looking for super hearty meals!

  329. I love all your recipes! They help me with meal planning for my family of 5 and save me money each week!! Keep them coming!

  330. I love your recipes! I would love to see some side dish ideas. I often struggle with what to serve other than fruits and veggies. Thanks for all the great ideas!

  332. More Instant Pot and one dish dinners please!
    And less sausage/processed meats/red meats and more vegetarian and chicken-based meals please!
    Thanks for all of your hard work!

  333. Thank you for your awesome site and resources!

    Iā€™d love to see more vegan options and ideas for low sugar treats! Other than that I canā€™t think of anything else you donā€™t already offer!! šŸ™‚

    šŸ˜Š thanks!!

  336. I'd like to see lunch ideas for kids that you don't have to heat up. I'd like recipes that can be made in double batches so I can freeze half of it for a later date (chicken pot pie filling, lasagna, etc.)

  337. Love the weekly meal plans! Would like to see options for making some of the meals lower in carbs.

  338. What about Weight Watchers Aldi recipes? I mean, I could easily make them with your recipes and do some adjustments but I am lazy. šŸ™‚

  339. I absolutely love this Blog....I have followed you for a couple years and I recommend it to anyone who tells me they are struggling with cooking for their family, while working a full time job. I look forward to getting the email every Wednesday. Thank You. The only request I would have would be less chicken recipes, but I understand that you use what is on sale, so I'm not even complaining!

  342. I love your blog. I would love to see more Aldi recipes that I could meal prep on Sunday and eat throughout the week.

  343. I just started following last year and was skeptical of some recipes as I didnt think my kids would enjoy, but to my surprise- they did and still do. I love the variety and easy weeknight recipes. Thank you so much for helping to organize and budget my family (of 7) dinners. In this new year, Id love to see a separate blog for lunch foods, specifically soup.

  345. I just found this blog for the first time, so I just want to read back through more of it in 2020!

  346. Your meal plan has literally changed my life! My kids even gobble it up! I can't think of any changes, although I do love instant pot meals as well : )

  348. Iā€™d love to see more kid friendly breakfast and lunch ideas! Iā€™m a homeschooling mom of 6, and Iā€™m always looking for new ideas!

  349. More crockpot ideas (I donā€™t have an instant pot!) or vegetarian ideas or ways to modify meat-heavy recipes. Love your stuff! Always great ideas!

  351. I am new to your blog and recipes and loving it! Thank you for taking the time to do it. Since I just recently found this blog, I don't really have a specific request.

  352. I would love to see more vegetarian whole food recipes for my family of 5:) We use minimal plastic and no processed food in our home!

  356. I love the weekly meal plans, new to the IP and AF so looking to use these more in my cooking,

  362. I'd love to see more kid friendly, lunches, and ones that are less processed items.

  363. Hi! I would love to see lunch meal ideas as the weekly plan definitely covers lunch. ready to take it to another level! šŸ˜€ and instant pot ideas would be helpful too!

  365. Love the recipes - love the deals you post! Thank you for helping us stretch our budget!!

  367. Besides your cute face and that pretty kitty šŸ˜‰ I would love to see more lunch ideas! I find myself packing the same old boring sandwiches and need some tried and true new inspiration! Congrats on 11 years~cheers to 11 more!

  368. You have totally revolutionized the way our family shops and saves. I tell everyone I know about your site and the Aldi meal plans. It's the best! It makes me faster in the store which saves me time and I've tried lots of new food items. I look forward to the weekly email. Keep up the great work. =D

  369. Iā€™d love to see more healthy meal prepping/planning ideas. Meal prepping has been a god send after returning to work after maternity leave!

  371. I would love school lunch ideas, more sheet pan dinners, and more sides. Thanks for all you do!

  372. This blog has been so helpful! As a busy Mom of 4, I really enjoy the crock pot meals šŸ™‚

  377. I love your menus and grocery lists! Could you do any WW friendly type meals? I have adapted some, but would LOVE that!

  378. Have enjoyed your blog and the recipe inspiration ideas. Want to thank you for highlighting the special deals - sometimes I miss that aisle completely and now look forward to new treasure offerings!

  379. I would love to see some meals that my 6 year old step daughter would like. She's a picky eater (Typical kid) šŸ™‚

  380. I'm thrilled that my mom shared your meal plan with me. I signed up right away and look forward to Wednesday's for the coming week. I enjoy Aldi for saving money and appreciate your recipes using mostly Aldi products. Desserts would be a great addition!

  385. I would love some Aldi's lunch/meal prep ideas! I meal prep lunches for a whole week for my family and sometimes I just run out of ideas lol I have adapted several of your dinner menu recipes to make them easier to meal prep as lunches because my family loves them so much ā¤ļø Thank you for all your hard work and this amazing blog!!

  387. My suggestion would be more crock pot meals! I just got a new job and need to have dinner ready to go. I also like your two meals in one idea (leftovers on another day). Thanks for all you do!

  388. Happy anniversary! What an amazing accomplishment! Your blog is the only one I've stuck with religiously and I recommend you to everyone! I actually did an Aldi giveaway on my instagram to just brighten someone's life around the Christmas holiday and I made sure in the card I sent them to point them to this and your other site!

    As far as recommendations go, I would like to see more sides and maybe a lunch menu! Maybe some more toddler approved meals. I know I'll love whatever content you grace us with in 2020! Happy anniversary!

  390. Thanks for everything. Iā€™ve been a member for a number of years! I enjoy the recipes and would love to have you continue your meal plans for a long time! šŸ˜Š

  392. I would love to see breakfast meal plans <3 I cook our breakfast for work everyday and I stick to the "same ole thing" because I'm out of ideas and it's budget friendly.

  395. I would love to see more recipes using tofu. My autistic son has decided he LOVES tofu and Iā€™ve never used cooked it.

  397. I love your recipes and meal plans! (I struggle when bloggers ask what I want to see more of because that just feels so critical.)

  398. I think you are doing fantastic and was so tickled you came up with the idea to begin with! Love the cat pics, too! Everyone has already touched on anything I could think of, so just a simple THANK YOU to you for what you do for us!! šŸ˜€

  399. I would love to see more instant pot/crockpot or meals done in 30 min. Busy mom here with 5 kids. Less time to cook the better! Lol thank you!

  401. Your meal plans are great! We tend to stay away from Dairy, so more Dairy-free meals would be fun! I generally just alter your plan to fit our dietary needs.

  405. I miss your special deals at our local Aldi's since I used to live in your area. Even made quick trips there when you posted them. So delighted that we have 3 additional Aldis here in Cary NC.now closer to my house and now enoy your recipes as well as the cats!

  407. I am new to the blog so I am excited to find more meal ideas on a family friendly budget. Thanks!

  408. Happy Anniversary! I love the variety of your meal plans. I am always looking for more one pot meals for busy weeknights.

  409. I love the meals that are easy and I also love the ones that are low carb. Thanks for all you do!

  410. Oh I would love to see more vegetarian recipes, instant pot recipes, and possibly school lunches ideas?! But really if nothing changed, I would still be SO happy. Thank you for all you do!

  412. Lunch ideas would ve awesome. Im a homeschooling mama and my kids always wanna eat. I need fresh ideas šŸ˜œ

  414. I would love to see more no salt added in the store. I would love to see low sodium recipes.
    Thank you for your time and expertise in sharing such awesome information, pictures, lists, prices and recipes for we that are shopper unsavory.

  415. I'd love to see some more breakfast themed ideas - they can be simple or something you actually have to cook - with the caveat that all the components are from Aldi!

  416. Instant pot recipes, otherwise loving the blog and money we are saving following it! Thanks! Maybe reviews on Aldi Finds items.

  418. I also would appreciate low sodium (<500 mg sodium per serving) meals as keeping sodium intake less than 1500 mg of sodium per day is a struggle.

    I do enjoy your creativity and the inclusion of fresh fruits and vegetables because sometimes I wonder what can I do without staying with the same old, same old?

  420. Happy Blog-versary!!! Thanks for all you do! You're really helping us budget better for our groceries and taking away the temptation to eat out. My suggestions would be perhaps suggesting low carb alternatives. I know there's a lot of different dietary needs though. Know what would be handy too... For crockpot meals, the settings if you're using a pressure cooker, such as an Instapot.

  421. I would love to see ALDI lunch ideas for school age children and adults and also breakfast ideas!

  423. I love checking here for a new meal idea when Iā€™m wanting to try something different than our usuals!

  424. Iā€™m new here but really enjoying the recipes on the meal plan. Keep bringing on new recipes. Crock pot recipes welcomed!

  425. I absolutely love your content. I canā€™t think of any changes I would add. Great job and Happy Anniversary!!

  429. I absolutely LOVE the weekly meal plans. I couldn't do life with out them! Thank you! I'd love to see more reviews on other Aldi products that are maybe a staple or something this is a special buy. That's so helpful!

  432. I cook for 7 every night, so I would like recipes that feed a larger amount of people (I usually double yours).

  436. Iā€™d love to see you add ALDI extreme budgeting weeks! Could be a fun challenge!

  441. We homeschool, so I'd love to get some lunch ideas for our school age kids. Thank you for all you do. Our family loves the meals.

  443. I love these recipes! They saved me this summer while pregnant and very uninventive!! Thank you!!

  444. Just started shopping at Aldi in the past year. Loving your Aldi meal plans. Been such a great help with planning my meals.

  445. Happy Anniversary! Iā€™ve been a fan for 11 years!! I love your meals and would love some ethnic meals- Indian, Philippine, Jewish! Thanks for all if your help over the years with meal planning And awesome recipes!

  446. I'm so happy I found your site. We've cut out grocery budget by 60%, my kids are eating rather than complaining and I save so much time not meal planning. Thank you.

  448. Keep doing what youā€™re doing. I love following and making new meals. As does my family.

  450. Less Vegan/ Vegetarian recipes in the weekly meal planning. My hubby wonā€™t eat it because he is picky. I love your posts!

  452. Still loving the fun Aldi finds every week- especially if itā€™s for a personal review!

  454. I love the concept of the weekly meal plans, and check them weekly. Some of the recipes get to be very similar after awhile, though.

  455. I love your blog! I would like to see more crock pot or super easy recipes for the mom's, like me, who aren't great at cooking. Lol

  458. Iā€™d like to see more school lunches for kids and more information on nutrition and how to get the rest of the family to eat healthy snacks. Keep it up, though, I love your blog and check every week for a few or all of my meals for that week!

  459. I love the ideas you post on your websiteā€” thank you! Iā€™d love to see more low carb options. Or maybe even take a set of ingredients and show a variety of meals and spinoffs based solely with those same ingredients. Thanks for all you do!

  461. I love your meal plans I look forward to reading them every week then planning my meals for the following week

  464. I've been around since the beginning, funny how it doesn't seem like that long ago!

    I love budget-friendly healthy eating ideas, keep 'em coming!

  465. I am an avid Aldi shopper and just love that you have created this space! More recipes please. More asian themed (not American style Asian šŸ˜‰ ) would be awesome, but really anything works - I love these šŸ™‚

  466. Iā€™d love more dessert ideas. Also more recipes without dairy (my son has an allergy - but I am still usually able to adapt the recipes).

  470. I meal plan, so I would love to see ideas on which meals would be good for preparing ahead of time for the week.

  471. I just started following you in the last week or two. So far, Iā€™m really loving the weekly meal plan! Iā€™m finding it feeds more than 4 which is great! Keep them coming!

  472. I love your meal plans! Theyā€™re so helpful - Iā€™ve always struggled with meal planning.

    Iā€™d love to see more low carb options and recipes that picky kids might like. šŸ˜…

  476. 11 years! Congrats on that alone girl! Thanks for putting in all the hard work you do & keep it coming! My family is trying plant based eating this year. I just tweak the recipes a bit. Just wish we had an Aldi in our town.

  479. Congrats on 11 years. I've been following for about 6 years and I love it. Wouldn't change a thing!!!

  480. Hello! My family loves these meals! Iā€™ve recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so some low sugar/low carb options would be great!

  483. Congratulations! I must have found you during your first year-I remember amazing diaper deals for my child who turns 11 soon.
    I have enjoyed the progression of the blog and the recipes. During this time of year more slow cooker soups would be great.

  486. Of course I want to see more of your animals perusing the Aldi ad šŸ™‚
    For dinner inspiration, just quick easy kid friendly healthy meals that are of course affordable.

  489. I so appreciate how quickly you post your weekly menu plans! I don't know how you do it!

    I'd love to see ideas on no-cooking meals / microwave only meals that you could use when travelling. I will often grocery shop when out of town and struggle to find meals that you can make in a hotel room

  490. I love your content! If I HAD to pick what I'd like to see more of, maybe instapot and/or crockpot meals.

  492. I love you meal plans!!! I would love to see more meatless recipes for our meatless mondays, and crockpot recipes!

  494. Thank you for pointing out products I may not have noticed at ALDI before. Makes me excited to try new dinners.

  495. Your blog has been a life saver keeping our grocery budget in check! I would love to see more full meal salad options.

  496. Love the recipes for such a great price!
    Would loves snack ideas, lunch ideas, or dessert ideas.
    Thanks again for all the hard work!

  503. I LOVE your meals plans! They are the right balance of health and yum we were looking for. I would love to see at least one crock pot or instapot meal a week. Itā€™s nice to have that option when I work all day. Thanks again for all your hard work!

  505. Iā€™d love to see more meals that are for my picky kids. I love everything you post but theyā€™re so picky and I would love some ideas.

  513. Iā€™m a single momma and youā€™ve saved me so much time and money! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!!!

  515. I love your meal plans and that its all at Aldi. I too would like some more toddler options as I have three littles under the age of 4.

  517. I love this blog. Itā€™s helped me save MEGA money, and has given me ideas, and ideas to branch from.

    Would love to see some No heat meals for summer!

  522. This has been a game changer for our familyā€™s meals and budget!
    We love all of the fresh fruits and veg- but we also have little ones (and big ones) with sweet teeth! Maybe once a week throw in a fun dessert option?

  524. I love crock pot and sheet pan meals, a whole week of crock pot and sheet pan meals would be incredible šŸ™‚

  525. I love your Blog! My food smells delicious every night! I love the real food and short ingredient lists of the recipes. I would like to see some more "kid friendly" meals in 2020. My family struggles on nights when i cook anything too out of the ordinary.

  526. I love all of your meal plans - they make my life so easy! In 2020, I'd love to see quick and easy lunch box-friendly ideas as well! Thanks for all you do!

  529. Thanks for your blogs! Iā€™ve recently made Aldi my main grocery store the past 3 months because I became a Stay at home mom and we are on a budget. Thanks for sharing free recipes. I would like to see more sides. Thanks!

  531. I love what you do for all of us! The editable shopping list is my favorite. I would love to see kid-friendly snack ideas that correlate with the weekly ad.

  532. I would love crock pot meals or post about how to use the Aldi's products to create freezer meals

  533. I just started following but maybe comparing a name brand item to an Aldi item! Oh, maybe doing some blind test tastings!!! That would be fun!

  537. As a recent weekly shopper at Aldi, I appreciate the meal planning with Aldi items. Just keep that up!

  539. Hello Rachel, I am also Rachel! I discovered you when my best friend and 3 children moved in with my family of four, for about 5 months. The fact that you can make so much food for $60 is miraculous. No one believes me when I tell them about MashupMom.... until they smell my lunch leftovers and get jealous! I would love to see more fish/ seafood recipes, or more recipes that make even better lunch leftovers! Thanks!

  544. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a lifesaver your weekly menus are for my household. Before I found your site probably a year ago I would head to the grocery store three to four times a week trying to figure out meals

  548. Your recipes have definitely made it so I eat more veggies and less carbs. Thank you for all of your hard work! I would like to see some more vegetarian options.

  551. I just discovered this page from the Aldi nerds group and Iā€™m in love! Quick meals, prep ahead stuff, breakfasts. Everything I see so far looks amazing!

  552. I Love all your meal plans, they help sooo much! I would like to see more meals with less pasta/bread. More crockpot or pressure cooker meals too!! Thanks for all you do! <3

  555. Iā€™m always looking for ideas on packing a healthy, easy lunch to take to work.

    Thanks, and happy anniversary!

  563. I would love more Instant Pot and Air fryer meals. More vegetarian meal options! Thank you!

  564. I would love to see more pescatarian meal plans. I eat chicken and turkey too! I love all your recipes and sometimes sub a protein when it calls for red meat, so maybe even alternatives other people could do if they donā€™t eat meat. I think seeing ratings or your personal opinions the aldis finds or new items would be cool too!

  566. I love how you show Aldi is a great place to make meals for the family! I would love to see quick meals for nights when work is long and there's not much time to be with the kids before they go to bed

  568. Love what you do...it's a REAL blog with REALISTIC recipes for REAL people! We love IP recipes, so give us more of that!

  570. First-time mom here! Wanted to quickly say thanks for being an answer to prayer for a budget friendly meal plan! Idea for this year: a lunch meal-plan for those of us on the go?

  575. I am brand new to your site and trying out the aldi meal plan this week for the first time. I don't have any suggestions for what I want to see more if since I haven't seen much yet, lol.

  576. Love your meal plans haven't tried a meal I dont like and the family likes it too!

  577. I enjoy your recipes a lot, however, there are a lot of ā€œMexicanā€ style recipes that find their way into the weekā€™s recipes and 1 is no big deal, but since i am the only one in my family that appreciates spicy mexican dishes, I was hoping to see more variety. Not a criticism because I really do love and appreciate the recipes and the help! Thanks for all your hard work!!!

  580. I would love to know the serving size for the recipes and the calories per serving!

    Thank you for all of your hard work! We love these meal plans.

  582. Hello! Iā€™d love to see nutritional information accompanying recipes. Also, InstantPot adjustments to crockpot meals. Love this blog ā€” thanks for what you do!

  584. For Vestal, NY Aldiā€™s I would like be to find more low carb foods including the zero carb bread.
    On the other hand, I love that I can always get my weekly supply of zucchini, cabbage, mushrooms and fresh blueberries. And from the slightly evil side of me, thank you for having white cheddar pop corn! And my dog really likes your Pure Being canned food in both flavors.

  591. Iā€™d love to see meal ideas for large families. We are a family of 8 and always looking for new ideas!

  593. I'm new to the site and love it, but I guess I'd add crockpot meals? Maybe there already are a few.

  594. New here! Loving it so far! I found your site on a Dame Ramsay FB page. Excited to go shopping with your meal plan tomorrow! Thanks !

  596. I'd love to see the Facebook Deals page be open to anyone, not just Facebook members. I was sad to see the couponing aspect of your blog go into hiding. I just wonder why you can't view the page without it being private? Would love to win a gc from Aldi....they are building a new one in my town!

  597. So many good ideas above! I have told so many friends and neighbors about your site. I would love some recipes for low sugar (not sugar substitute like stevia, etc.) deserts. I know you went low sugar and I'm wondering what you do for treats!

  600. We love the menu ideas and Aldiā€™s! Lunch menus for kids lunch boxes as well as adults would be great!

  602. Would love ideas for the novice cook that spreads their dollars; doesn't need to be meat heavy. Looking specifically for use of shelf stable products (that one might get at a food pantry).

  604. I have depended on your blog every week for the last three years. When I got divorced and lived on my own for the first time EVER, I learned how to cook with your recipes. I would love to see healthy recipes or the calorie count on the recipes you use.

  607. I'd love to see low carb, low sugar, whole foods recipes. Also, lunch ideas for kiddos and adults. Thanks for this great resource, and congratulations on the 11 yrs!

  608. I love it all--your easy, tasty meals (even if I don't make it and just look at pictures), and ALDI! Husband is currently doing no sugar and no flour (and no substitutes), but I find lots of recipes that still work from your plans. (Plus, our kids are still eating flour and sugar.) What would I like to see? I don't know... I don't want to be picky. I'm timid about roasting veggies. It seems like I put a lot on the pan and then everything shrinks! Ha!

  609. I would love some more quick healthy snack and dessert ideas.
    I have shared your posts and turned others on to how amazing Aldis is!

  610. I am new to th is site and love it so far! I would be interested in at least 1 crockpot meal per week. šŸŒøšŸŒø

  611. I think everything is perfect - your ideas and recipes have been a God-send for my family! LOVING that I don't have to think quite as much to figure out what to make on a budget. THEY might say more "traditional" foods, as they are not quite as adventurous as I'd like them to be..... šŸ™‚ Keep up the fantastic work!

  612. I enjoy your blog. I'm having great success with Keto way of living, so more low-carb, high fat recipes please

  613. Would really appreciate packed lunch ideas for adults. Lunches that can be prepared ahead would be great!

  614. Your meal plans have made a huge difference in our family! Thank you for sharing and for all the work you put into this!!
    I would love to see lunch box meal plans this year!

  615. oh man! I love your blog! found some of my favorite dinner recipes when I signed up. I would love to see more kids lunch ideas if possible šŸ™‚

  616. Your meals plans are a life saver for our family of 9! I would love to see some recipes that have some seafood. Thanks for all you do.

  617. Hi,
    I love your website and have for a looong time! I remember buying multiple newspapers and coupon matching for your weekly jewel and cvs deals...remember the catalinas?!
    An Aldi just recently opened near my home and I like your recipes using their ingredients. Love, love, love your kitty posts šŸ™‚
    I would like more lunch ideas for my teen kids as well as insta pot recipes.
    Thanks, Rachel!

  619. Would love to see easy desserts and side dishes. Entrees are easy for me but I seem to always make the same boring sides.

  620. I would love to see more healthy meals. Especially those that are quick or with minimal prep. Instant pot meals would be great too!

  621. Hi! Love this blog. šŸ¤©
    More slow cooker recipes...I love coming home from work and having dinner ready. Thank you!

  622. I love the fact that you highlight shopping at Aldi. My husband and i decided for our new years resolution would be to try to shop for a majority of our groceries at Aldi this year. The recipes are great keep it up.

  623. Your weekly meal plans have been a game changer for me and my family. I love the weekly email and how you add the aldi finds into it. Donā€™t change a thing. I am so happy I found your blog!

  626. I canā€™t think of anything. I love how I came across this page and the recipes are fantastic.

  628. I'd love to see more recipes with healthy ingredients. Maybe each week or month, feature a particular ingredient, or eating plan such as Weight Watchers, Plant Paradox or Low Sugar Cooking. I love that this site incorporates deals as well as education. Great Job!

  630. I LOVE the sheet pan dinners, I tend to make those first.
    Would also love to see cold meals (not sure that is the right terminology.) For example, picnic/lunch/on the road meals.

  631. You've changed my life. I'm buying food I never have before, I have healthy leftovers, I'm cooking real food for my husband. Loved how you wrote about getting started and not learning to cook until later-- that's me. Maybe that's why you're such a great teacher.y friend and I joke that you hold our hands through the process. I love telling other women at Aldi about this too. I saw one comment on the one pot meals-- which i honestly started to get out more pans, I couldn't hardly believe it.
    I'd love to see more recipes around holidays for twists on traditional dishes or just how to do them... Now that I'm gaining confidence and actually hosting more - all thanks to you.
    I did go on Aldi's website and found their recipes for Thanksgiving, copy and pasted all the ingredients, and successfully hosted 15 ppl for Thanksgiving though! I can't thank you enough for all you're teaching me!!

  632. I love this blog and I tell all of my friends about it, especially if they are struggling with their budgets! I would love seeing more gluten-free content!

  634. Would love more dairy-free and/or gluten-free recipes (or variations)! Thanks for all your work!

  636. Hi, Rachel! In 2020, I would like to see more pictures of sale items, not just naming them and their prices. Thanks for this blog, it truly is a public service. <3

  637. I'm new over here! I love your Almost All Aldi and look forward to seeing what you have over here!

  638. I would love to see more recipe ideas for crock-pot cooking. I can never seem to find much I like in the way of crock-pot cooking - always seems to taste like "same 'ol, same 'ol" to me. Thanks for all the recipes you DO supply...love them <3

  639. I appreciate what you do and enjoy the weekly menus. It would be nice to have low carb or other ā€œdietā€ menus maybe.

  645. Love your recipes and that you include the shopping list! Love to see more dairy free and gluten free recipes! Keep it up!

  648. So excited to find you tonight. I need help reigning in our grocery budget and meal planning. My husband is diabetic so we are trying to find more low carb but high flavor options out there that our whole family can like (and we have teens that could live on pasta.)

  649. My family really enjoys the meal plans and the variety. There has not been one recipe that we haven't liked. When it comes to mid day meal, we do struggle a bit with deciding what to have that is able to be packed in a lunch box. I would love to see if you have any ideas. We appreciate your efforts and your generosity. Thank youā™”

  652. I would love to see Instant Pot/Ninja Foodi meals and high protein low carb too.

  653. Thank you Rachel for all your hard planning and work. You have made it possible for me to be a stay at home mom with all of our savings! Thank you!

  655. I love my Crock Pot AND my Crock Pot Express! I would like to see more meals that use either of those wonderful kitchen tools!

  657. I love the variety and the ease in picking apart the meal plans to work for my family. I'd like to see less pasta options (I'm GF and we try to avoid carb heavy meals). I love the one pot or one pan meals - more of those please!

  658. I love your blog! It has helped me stay on budget and get dinner on the table for my family. I would love to see some more slow cooker meals that I can put on in the morning and it'll be ready when we are all home from work or school. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to the blog! We appreciate you

  659. I love your recipes! What about slow cooker recipes or freezer meal plans for busy, hot summer days?

  660. I would like ideas for the air fryer.
    I first met you at the Joliet Public library
    Years ago. Been following you ever since.
    Congratulations on 11 years!

  661. Less repeats of the same meals. Itā€™s on a good rotation and helpful to have some repeats because I enjoy not having to stare at the recipe and become familiar with it. But a little more variety would be great too!

  662. I have just started using these meal plans and live them so far! I would love to see kids lunch and snack ideas too.

  663. Summary posts for various meats? So when Iā€™m not in the mood for one of the dishes in the weekly plan, I can easily click a link and have a bunch of ideas to substitute?
    Slow cooker meals are always welcome.

  664. Mashup mom grocery list and recipes has saved me soooo much time!
    I'd love to see more recipes with non processed foods (although a lot of your recipes are pretty easy to make that adjustment).
    Maybe even some recipes for breakfast and lunch meal prep!

    Thank for what you do!

  665. Congrats! You're one of the only food blogs I read! I would like to see some freezer meals to prep for the week and for quick meal ideas! Thank you for all your work.

  667. Iā€™m new to your site but am enjoying your meal plan ideas. Would like to see recipes using air fryers.

  668. I would like to see more yummy recipes. We love a majority of them and only have a small handful we do not like. Keep em' coming. This site is a HUGE blessing to our family and grocery shopping!!

  669. Happy Anniversary! I would like to see dedicated side dish recipes. I love your main meals, and I know that sometimes they already have a vegetable included. But I often stop here for ideas when making my meal plan and sides is where I get stuck.
    Thanks for sharing a little bit of your world!

  670. I appreciate that many of your recipes are naturally gluten free! And, you're a funny writer. Humor always wins!

  671. Your meal plan has changed my life! I love one pot or sheet pan meals for easy cleanup so Iā€™d love to see more of those but honestly Iā€™ve been happy with every meal and I just discovered your website about 2 months ago. Keep doing what youā€™re doing!

  672. I really love reviews on Aldi's products! Its nice to have feedback from others on products they really love....and do not love. šŸ™‚ Great way to find new products to try !

  673. I like the idea someone said earlier about kid lunches. A weekly plan (even if it's not a regular feature) for kid meals would be great! I love your recipes!

  676. I need meal ideas for empty nesters. I donā€™t remember how to cook for only two people. Itā€™s crazy!

  682. Instant pot dinners on the Aldi weekly menu plan are my favorite. The planning and shopping list already made, helps so very much!

  683. Hi! I just found your site after recently going to Aldi for the first time! I'm hooked! And I love being able to meal plan and budget my groceries better! I'd love to see more of everything!! šŸ„°

  684. I love what you do!! I would love to see more lunch ideas and possibly what you would use on a charcuterie board. My family is not into soups so I usually skip those. šŸ™‚

  689. I'd love a little more couponing/deals and not nearly as much Aldi. I've been around prior to the Aldi craze. I took my first couponing class with Jill maybe 10-11 years ago and then found you soon after.

  691. Would love to see more grilling recipes, slow cooker recipes and some vegan options. Family of four with different dietary needs.

  695. I appreciate all you do for us, Rachel. If possible, I'd love to see more low carb recipes. Thank you! šŸ™‚

  697. Congratulations! I appreciate the money I've saved over the years and the delicious new meals I've made from reading your posts. When recipes contain spicy seasonings or mushrooms, it would be helpful to know what I can use as substitutes to still make a tasty meal. Unfortunately, I can't do spicy foods. Thank you for all your do!

  699. Love your website Rachel. You are my go-to for recipes. Would love a chili with meat recipe for a crockpot.
    Happy 11th Anniversary!

  702. I'd love to see some air fryer recipes. We bought one at Aldi but don't use it nearly as often as I thought I would.

  704. I love the idea of including lunches or breakfast ideas. Even if it was once a month maybe, or didn't include specials (because I recognize how much work goes in to this).

  708. Would also like to see more diabetic recipes it gets boring sometimes eating the same thing over and over again

  710. Love your menu plans! Use them religiously for my family of 7 (most of the littles are small, so we can still make it stretch across).
    Would love more Instant Pot ideas (I already have adapted some of your recipes accordingly) and anything without milk/creams for my lactose sensitive hubby.

  711. I'd like to see more allergy friendly recipes, or at least substitutions for the more common allergies.

  712. I just found your website and love it! I would love to see more low carb meals. We're trying to eat healthier and it is feeling like an expensive task.

  714. I'd love to see the recipes organized by type, not just weekly. Beef, chicken, vegetarian, side dishes, etc.

  715. I would love to see more quick meal plans for busy weekdays. I love the meal plans but end up cooking 3 on a weekend night to fit it into my hectic life.

  716. I am so happy that I have found you, it was about one month ago but girl you have helped me save some money in dinners.
    I would like to keep seeing the meal weekly plan and also maybe some breakfast ideas. Thanks for the hard work!

  718. Rachel, as a fellow librarian I admire your many interests and all the great meal plans. We frugal gals love the simplicity and variety! Keep it coming!

  720. Appetizer and dessert recipes are my favorite things on blogs. I have been using my slow cooker more so those recipes interest me as well.
