What to Know About Free Aldi Meal Plan

ALDI meal planning week of 3/17/19 - 3/23/19 I’m assuming that you already have pantry basics like cooking oil, common condiments, and spices. *** Read through the recipes before you shop, to be sure you have the necessary pantry staples on hand for this week's ALDI menu plan. Worth noting: six Straightforward Dinners from ALDI for $60.00 ALDI meal plan -- Begin cooking 3/17/19 Sunday: Corned beef & cabbage (apply about 1.5 lbs potatoes cut into quarters or eighths, since they're the regular size ones).

Also cut half the head of cauliflower into florets, steam it up, and top with a little shredded cheddar cheese.  Monday: Black bean, tomato, & spinach frittata topped with sour cream. Tuesday: Roast chipotle chicken & potatoes (substitute red potatoes, chopping them slightly larger).

How Free Aldi Meal Plan Really Works

More importantly, serve with strawberries and zucchini tots (apply regular cheese, add a little Italian seasoning bc you have plain breadcrumbs, and throw them in the oven to cook up while the chicken is resting before carving). Wednesday: Italian wedding soup with turkey meatballs (apply the whole 19.2 oz pack of turkey & substitute 4 oz regular spinach for 5 oz baby; shredded Parmesan for grated).

Serve with baguette and grapes. Thursday: Sheet pan smoky Parmesan chicken tenders & veggies, along with straightforward roasted red potatoes (I like to apply seasoned salt instead of Kosher salt, and add additional Italian seasoning & smoked paprika to taste) plus mandarins & grapes.

Getting the Most From Free Aldi Meal Plan

Remember that friday: Crunchy tortilla chicken fingers (double recipe & apply tenders instead of cut up chicken breast). You can stir a little chopped chipotle and adobo sauce into sour cream to taste to dip these in, and serve with carrot & celery sticks (If you are out of carrots, just celery!), along with cruciferous crumble. Note: You can cook everything at 425 degrees; just reduce the cooking time slightly on the chicken fingers and check them a bit sooner.

Saturday: Leftovers, family pizza night (ALDI sells a nice large take-and-bake pizza), eat out, or date night. 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.

Tips That Make a Difference

As a rule, 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. 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.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In short, 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 3/10-3/16 in Sunday ad markets, and 3/13-3/19 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 3/13/19 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 3/17/19. Stay in the ALDI meal planning loop Subscribe here to receive weekly email messages about new ALDI meal plans -- no spam, just get email notifications about new plans!
