All I really need to know I learned in ALDI…
I wrote a little thing this week, with apologies to Robert Fulghum: All I Really Need to Know I Learned in ALDI. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. 🙂
But back to this week’s ALDI meal plan…
Let’s get ready to make six complete dinners for a family of four, just $60.00 out the door! Hope you find the free ALDI meal plans useful, and you can just scroll down under the grocery list to find an easy printable shopping list for your week.
ALDI meal planning week of 6/10/18 – 6/16/18
I’m assuming here that you already have pantry basics like cooking oil, condiments, and spices. 🙂 *** Read through the recipes before you shop to make sure you have the necessary pantry staples on hand.
Six Easy Dinners from ALDI for $60.00
ALDI meal plan — Start cooking 6/10/18
- Sunday: Chipotle chicken wraps with kicked up avocado cream (grill the chicken, if you prefer), strawberries.

Top salad with shredded Parmesan and serve with ranch dressing.

Things to know about the ALDI meal plans
A couple of notes
- 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.
- 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 6/3-6/9 in Sunday ad markets, and 6/6-6/12 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices were collected on 6/6/18 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 6/10/18.

Hi! I stumbled on your meal plans about a month ago and have been a loyal follower ever since. Your recipes are great and I love Aldi (and saving money on groceries). You have a fan! I plan to share your blog/meal on my instagram this week if that is ok. I also plan to share you on my blog (I am trying to get it up and running). Thanks for putting in all the hard work to make my life easier!

Just a heads up, our Aldi doesn't carry riced cauliflower. We are in Indiana.

I am in Indiana too. I thought I saw it the other day at our Aldi's. I know Kroger carries it if you don;t mind making an extra stop.

Oh no, I'm sorry you couldn't find it -- It has shown up as a regular buy in the stores around here for a while now, in the frozen section. You can make your own from fresh cauliflower by pulsing some florets in the food processor, as an alternative.

Would you consider making the lists in another format, rather than Word? I don't have Word on my computer, so I can't open them. :( I'm sure I'm not the only one. Google docs is pretty standard. Thanks!
