    Aldi meal plan tip sheet.

    It's always helpful to have some pantry and freezer staples on hand to help get dinners on the table quickly. Below, I've listed some staples that I always have, in order to pull together healthy and easy dinners quickly.

    You can also check out our other recipe collections like these easy chicken pasta recipes, vegetarian recipes, or these easy curry chicken dinners.

    Pantry Staples

    If you're new to Aldi or new to the website I'll give you a quick rundown of the pantry staples and favourite fresh food that I always like to have on hand.

    • olive oil 
    • brown rice 
    • white rice or basmati
    • tinned beans- black beans, kidney beans and chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
    • soy sauce- light and dark
    • small flour tortilla- great for making tortilla chips or wraps
    • coconut oil- please don't even ask me why coconut oil is so expensive everywhere else, but for some reason, in Aldi, it's a fraction of the price. It's also great for skincare, so it's a great pantry item.
    • tinned tomatoes- or you can use passata which is a smooth tomato sauce Perfect for making this tomato and spinach gnocchi.
    • peanut butter- honestly, the smooth pb from Aldi is on par with any high-end brand name. And it's a key ingredient in these Asian chicken lettuce wraps or use it to make the peanut sauce for these quick and easy Chinese noodles.
    • Fresh vegetables, fruits and whole foods  ground beef (mince)
    • chicken breasts 
    • grape tomatoes 
    • green onions
    • feta cheese
    • cottage cheese or Greek yoghurt- I change it up weekly
    • sour cream or creme fraiche
    • Cheese- this usually depends on what types of cheese feature in that week's Aldi meal plan that I'm creating
