The recipes are simple, cheap, and great for using pantry staples and leftovers—comforting yet healthy, perfect for what we need right now.

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 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.

  1. Hi Deborah, big fan of your weekly Aldi meal plan and have been following for months. I have noticed on the above shopping list that you have omitted the bell peppers from the shopping list! Thought I would point out as I have only realised now that I am making the Korean Beef Stir-fry. Thanks for sharing this, my family and I are big fans of the recipes!
