Why Aldi

For those who are new, I don’t work for Aldi or have any affiliation with them, but they’re my favourite grocery store. Like many, I used to shop at Aldi and then visit other stores for extras, but it was costing too much time and money. So, I used my chef training to create recipes using only Aldi ingredients, and it’s been a success!

About the Aldi budget meal plan

Meal planning has been an integral part of my life since I was a kid. Being raised in a single-parent household on a fixed income, it was vital that we didn’t buy more than we needed and certainly never wasted anything. All of that means that I know a tonne about sticking to a budget and making a lot out of not very much. In times like these, both skills have come in handy. So, these meal plans are a way that I can help you navigate some waters you may not have a lot of experience with.
