Easiest Aldi Meal Plan: 14 Premade meals for under $150 Delivered

If you’ve never been able to stick with meal planning long term, then you need to break it down into smaller steps. I created this Aldi meal plan as an easy way for absolutely anyone to be able to set a meal plan for two weeks and stick to it, eating at home.

Fair warning? This isn’t your average meal plan where they tell you to make your own bread or soak beans (insert eye roll here). Because this is the meal plan for the people who have tried and failed at *those kinds* of meal plans dozens of times.

Whether you…

• Suck at making dinner.
• Have no time to cook because of sports practice, unexpected overtime, etc.
• Can never resist the temptation of the drive-thru line.

Then this list is for you!

Cheap, Quick, and Easy Dinners

These super cheap, quick and easy meals from Aldi can get you used to cooking at home with almost no effort or will power needed.

Because let’s face it… it’s 2020 and with the constant demands of our families, house and work… Sometimes we just need to hit the easy button and get a list of cheap meal ideas that we can put on auto-pilot for a while.

The best part? It’ll save you a ton of money too! You can get the ingredients for the full two weeks of meals (each meal serves 2 adults and 2 kids) delivered straight to your door for less than $150.00.
