Favorite Finds, Fun with Produce Prices

What are some of my favorite ALDI Finds this week? Oh, just eggs, blueberries, and a cold brew coffee maker (which I could not find in my store today, but I’ll be checking back later) — plus of course more goodies — so check out my favorite ALDI Finds here, and please comment with your own.

Also new this week, some musings on ALDI produce prices vs. regular chain grocery store produce prices. Do you find the same type of discrepancy at stores by you?

But now, let’s get back to the ALDI menu plan you’ve all been waiting for…

ALDI meal planning week of 6/2/19 – 6/8/19

I’m assuming that you already have pantry basics like cooking oil, common condiments, and spices. *** Read through the recipes before you shop, to make sure you have the necessary pantry staples on hand for this week’s ALDI menu plan.

Six Easy Dinners from ALDI for $60.00

ALDI meal plan — Start cooking 6/2/19

• Sunday: Slow cooker garlic lime chicken thighs, plus broccoli with sweet red pepper & garlic (omit Parmesan, if you don’t have on hand; reserve 8 oz broccoli for Thurs).
• Monday: Black bean, tomato, & spinach frittata, cantaloupe.
• Tuesday: Easy steak fajitas. Serve on tortillas with sour cream, shredded cheddar, and cilantro, with sliced pineapple on the side.

Or, maybe less…!

Let me know if you give it a try!

Things to know about the ALDI meal plans

A couple of notes

1. I try not to repeat main dish recipes more often than once a month, but you will see favorite easy recipes come up again in these weekly ALDI meal plans as the same meats and produce items come up again on sale. Part of the fun of meal planning lies in mixing old stand-bys with something new each week.
2. If one or more of these recipes isn’t to your taste, or if you have other ingredients to use, you can adapt the recipes in this ALDI meal plan to your family’s preferences — or just use the ideas here to supplement your own meal planning. See: Pantry staples to stock up on and how to modify a meal plan for your family.

** Ad markets and dates

This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 5/26-6/1 in Sunday ad markets, and 5/29-6/4 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 5/29/19 at my local store in the Chicago suburbs, but non-advertised prices and produce deals *may vary* by location & region. In either ad market, shop any time through Saturday and start cooking on Sunday 6/2/19.
