Mum shares Aldi’s grocery list which feeds her family of 4 for £ 3.60 a day

tophealthyguide May 23, 2020

If you can’t already tell from your bank balance and credit card statements, December is an extremely expensive month for all of us.

According to the Bank of England, the average UK family spends over £ 3,000 in December alone, leaving many out of their own pockets in the gloomy month of January.

And, with a long month of the month remaining, and the post-Christmas bills starting to land, the “poorest day of the year” is coined on January 24 – the last Friday before payday.

In the spirit of “in-it-togetherness”, and to show how easily you can feed your family for less, a busy mom shared her shopping list and recipes to help you save hundreds of pounds in your grocery store.

Aldi discount store challenged mom, Natalie Lee, to feed her family of four for an entire week in a £ 25.00 in-store shop.

This is lower than the national average family weekly grocery store that comes in at £ 60.60, according to the data.

Documenting how she got the most profit, below is Natalie’s shopping list and some of her recipes.

“My family and I had a very special Christmas, but this inevitably meant that I spent more than I should have had,” explained the mother of four.

“I accepted the challenge because I need motivation to get creative and push myself to cook on a limited budget.”

Natalie’s one-week meal plan

Monday: Breakfast: smoothie. Lunch: eggs / avocado on toast. Dinner: vegetable rice

Tuesday: Breakfast: porridge. Lunch: rice, chicken and mixed peppers. Dinner: Halloumi kebab and asparagus

Wednesday: Breakfast cereals. Lunch: meatballs and remaining vegetables. Dinner: Chicken Fajitas

Thursday: Breakfast cereals. Lunch: vegetable soup and bread. Dinner: pasta, olive oil and garlic granules.

Friday: Breakfast: smoothie. Lunch: omelette and salad. Dinner: spaghetti and pesto

Saturday: Breakfast: smoked salmon and eggs. Lunch: baked beans on toast. Dinner: chicken, asparagus, potatoes

Sunday: Breakfast: eggs and chili flakes on toast. Lunch / Dinner: Sunday roast.
