More importantly, thursday: Low carb breakfast sausage egg muffins (apply 11 eggs and double everything else to make two muffin tins of these -- if you have leftovers, you have breakfast tomorrow!). Serve with sliced pineapple, plus sourdough.

Friday: Comforting kielbasa potato soup, the rest of your sourdough, and cut the rest of your carrots & celery into sticks & make French onion dip to dip them in. Saturday: Leftovers, family pizza night (ALDI sells a nice large take-and-bake pizza), eat out, or date night.

Where the Real Savings Hide

Remember that 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!

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.

Non-advertised prices were collected on 12/12/18 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 12/16/18.
