Easy-peasy: *** Add this week’s grocery list to your Instacart. ***

IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE CHECKING OUT:

You’ll need to check your pantry for staples not included in this Instacart list. *** See needed pantry staples, below.
The list feature doesn’t allow me to add multiples of a single item or to change the weight of items, and the meat special buys don’t usually show up. So: Before adding the list to your cart, change these quantities and make the following notes.
1. Quantities:
  - Change the mangoes quantity to two
  - Change the sliced mushrooms quantity to two
  - Change the spinach quantity to two
  - Change the cucumbers quantity to two
2. Notes for your shopper:
  - Make a note to add a 4.75 lb pack of the sale chicken drumsticks (in most ads this week); as usual the meat special buys are not showing up
  - Make a note that you want 2 lbs of zucchini
  - Make a note that you want about a 1.5 lb pack of the chicken breast, and
  - Make a note that you want about a 1.25 lb pack of the pork chops

Please use the add your list to Instacart feature at your own risk. Always double check your cart against the grocery list above, and see notes. Instacart prices are higher than in store, so your total will be higher than shown in the above grocery list.

** Pantry staples to check for before shopping: Olive oil, flour, butter, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, seasoned salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, thyme, everything bagel seasoning, crushed red pepper, sea salt, salt

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 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 up, 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 & dates

This week’s ALDI meal plan reflects prices from the current week’s ad (running 5/28-6/3 in Sunday ad markets, and 5/31-6/6 in Wednesday ad markets). Non-advertised prices are from my local store in the Chicago suburbs. Prices and produce deals *can vary* by location & region. In either ad market, shop any time through Saturday and start cooking on Sunday 6/4/23.
