 This 7-day flexible Aldi meal plan is designed for budget-friendly, healthy meals. All ingredients are from Aldi, with easy recipes and a shopping list to simplify meal prep. These comforting, thrifty meals use pantry staples and leftovers for convenience.

Why Aldi

I’m not affiliated with Aldi, but it’s my favourite grocery store for budget-friendly meals. I used to shop at multiple places, but it took too much time and money. So, I started creating recipes using only Aldi ingredients, and it’s been a success! Use these meal plans as a guide or for inspiration to make healthy, affordable meals, from easy dinners to one-pot recipes and baked treats—don’t miss the brownie recipe

The Details

These meals are designed for a family of four, with some recipes providing leftovers. While there’s no one-size-fits-all meal plan, I aimed to create something that suits most tastes. The shopping list includes everything you need, with repeat use of Aldi condiments and spices. Double-check your pantry to avoid buying extras! This flexible plan allows room for snacks, dessert, and dining out. Feel free to adjust the schedule, and let me know if you're finding these plans helpful!

    1. Hi, I can't seem to find the recipe instructions/methods anywhere for any of your recipes and shopping lists. Are they available and how can I find them? Thanks and best wishes!

      1. Hi Jade, on the meal plans part way down the page there is a section labeled "recipes" and under that, there is a link to each recipe. You can save the recipes by clicking the heart at the bottom of each page or you can print them out. For the shopping lists, you can either print them out, or just use the photo to screen shot while you shop. Each meal plan as a link to the shopping list right above the photo of it. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
