APPROXIMATE COST for meal planner: $53 (this will include everything you need for baking and will also leave you leftovers for lunches & such)
Amy the menu sounds great! It is just amazing that you have an entire week of meals for only $53. I can’t wait to see how the challenge turns out. Keep up the great work.
Nicole- Thanks so much! This is just going to be so much fun!
Yes, it is definitely amazing what you can do with your money with these planners. Also the $53 includes even those basic items that you probably already have in your pantry so I am sure you could do it for a lot less than that amount listed. I list all the ingredients though, just in case 🙂
Looking forward to next week’s planning 🙂 Thanks again!
Thanks for the new blog. I have been an Aldi shopper for 2 years–it has been a big help to our budget. I appreciate the menus; I make 21 meals a week and sometimes I run out of inspiration! I hope you will inspire me to get out of my rut, and try some new Aldi meals.
These menus are amazingly easy, cheap, and yummy. WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I can’t wait to try this week’s meals. I already have everything on your grocery list except the cream cheese. I just ran out last week. I always buy about 10 at a time when I’m at Aldi. Obviously, we use a lot of cream cheese.
Oh, I hope everyone really enjoys the meals this week! I am having a lot of fun putting them together. Please let me know what your favorites are!!
