Key Takeaways

Is Free Aldi Meal Plan Worth It?

If you don't like to eat this much in one week; package and freeze some of it in 1 lb increments and substitute one of your own favorite recipes that evening. Monday: Slow cooker vegetarian chickpea lentil stew, served over cooked rice with lemon roasted cauliflower on the side (halve recipe; reserve the other half of the cauliflower for Friday).

Wednesday: Gyros inspired pasta with Greek yogurt sauce (apply 1.25 lbs ground beef to account for more shrinkage with greater fat content; top with green onions). Serve with salad made with the other half of the romaine, & topped with the rest of the cucumber & another chopped tomato, plus the baguette (you can mix a little olive oil with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper to taste if you wish to dip this in).

Where the Real Savings Hide

More importantly, thursday: Hamburgers (apply 2.25 lbs ground beef) served on buns & topped with shredded cheddar, a couple sliced tomatoes, & sliced onion. On the side, potato chips and pineapple slices.

Friday: Curried chicken skillet with cauliflower and rice. Serve with tomato cucumber salad (apply 4 Roma tomatoes since they're smaller, reduce onion & add a little olive oil if desired; see recipe comments).

A Closer Look at Free Aldi Meal Plan

Remember that 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! 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.

What to Know About Free Aldi Meal Plan

As a rule, 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.

This week's ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 1/27-2/2 in Sunday ad markets, and 1/30-⅖ in Wednesday ad markets).

How Free Aldi Meal Plan Really Works

In short, non-advertised prices were not collected on 1/30/19 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 2/3/19.
