How Free Aldi Meal Plan Really Works

It's time to see if Imperfect Produce is available in your area yet! (If not, you can to be notified on their site when it is...) On the "almost" all ALDI front, check out my Imperfect Produce review (plus five pointers for perfect kale chips). Simply add a dozen eggs and a pack of tortillas to this week's shopping list, & you'll have yourself the base for a nice batch of breakfast burritos -- which also freeze highly nicely.

Sunday: Sheet pan cheddar Parmesan pork chops & green beans, grapes. Monday: Veggie burrito bowls w/ pan roasted corn (apply red and yellow peppers, instead of two red).

Getting the Most From Free Aldi Meal Plan

More importantly, top w/ half of the grape tomatoes & shredded cheddar. Have the rest of your grapes on the side.

Tuesday: Sheet pan smoky Parmesan chicken tenders & veggies plus the Caesar salad kit. Wednesday: Thyme for a one pan chicken mushroom rice skillet (apply the other half of the veggie broth rather than chicken broth).

Tips That Make a Difference

Remember that on the side, straightforward sauteed carrots w/ onions & rosemary. Thursday: Five ingredient bacon wrapped chicken cheddar pinwheels with fast & straightforward vegetable saute (substitute spinach for kale, grape tomatoes for cherry, apply the rest of your zucchini & broccoli, and add the spinach in with the tomatoes).

Friday: Skillet Cajun spiced tilapia with tomatoes (substitute canned fire roasted diced tomatoes for fresh, and the orange bell pepper for green). Serve over cooked rice. Notes: If you don't have Cajun seasoning on hand, you can make your own -- and you might wish to apply less than the recipe calls for, if you are sensitive to spice.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

As a rule, cooking time for the fish might be slightly less since the frozen fillets are thinner, so keep an eye on them -- and if you don't eat tilapia, swap out for another firm white fish of choice. Saturday: Leftovers, family pizza night (ALDI sells a nice large take-and-bake pizza), eat out, or date night.

Or, maybe less... 🙂 These meals will likely run you even less if you supplement this week’s ALDI purchases with clearance meat you already have in your freezer, pantry staples you picked up discounted, produce you already have on hand, and/or sale produce from your local produce market. Let me know if you provide it a try!

Is Free Aldi Meal Plan Worth It?

In short, aspects to know about the ALDI meal plans A couple of notes I try not to repeat main dish recipes more frequently than once a month, but you will see favorite straightforward recipes come up again in these weekly ALDI meal plans as the same meats and produce items come up again discounted. Part of the fun of meal planning lies in mixing old stand-bys with something new each week.

If one or more of these recipes isn't to your taste, or if you have other ingredients to apply, you can adapt the recipes in this ALDI meal plan to your family’s preferences -- or just apply the concepts 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 9/30-10/6 in Sunday ad markets, and 10/3-10/9 in Wednesday ad markets).

Where the Real Savings Hide

Worth noting: non-advertised prices were collected on 10/3/18 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 begin cooking on Sunday 10/7/18.
