Why Aldi
I know many people might be new here, so let me just explain a few things real quick. I don’t work for Aldi, nor have I ever. I’m not affiliated with them in any way except that they are my favourite grocery store and I think what they do is remarkable. Like many of you, I’m sure, I used to do my primary shop at Aldi, and then go to one or two other shops for “bits and bobs”. It was costing me too much time and too much money. So, I decided to use my chef training and get creative and disciplined about making recipes using only ingredients from Aldi. And so far, it’s been a hit!
About the Aldi budget meal plan
Meal planning has been a part of my life since childhood. Growing up in a single-parent household on a fixed income taught me how to stick to a budget and avoid waste. These skills have been invaluable, and I want to share them with you through these meal plans.
I’m including 6 recipes, all using Aldi ingredients, so you can either have leftovers or enjoy a takeaway night. You’ll also get a shopping list to make meal prep even easier.
It’s so important to have simple, affordable recipes with accessible ingredients, and I hope these plans help lighten your load. I truly enjoy creating them and hope you find them useful!
The Details
These meals are designed to serve a family of four, with some recipes providing enough leftovers for another dinner or lunch the next day. While no meal plan fits everyone perfectly, I’ve aimed to create something that appeals to most.
The shopping list includes everything you need, and since we’re using only Aldi ingredients, many condiments, sauces, and spices are used across multiple recipes. Be sure to check your pantry to avoid buying duplicates!
This meal plan is also flexible and realistic, with room for snacks, desserts, and even a night out. You can adjust it to fit your schedule. Let me know if you’re using these plans—it helps me decide whether to keep sharing them!
