Budget-Friendly Aldi Grocery Haul & Family Meal Planning

Snacks

For snacks, she loves all types of pretzels and chips. A favorite snack? Seasonal pumpkin spice cream cheese spread that goes great on graham crackers, toast, or apple slices. Ashley didn’t forget about sweets; she bought Twinkies, cheesecake slices, and the Aldi version of Oreo cookies.

Breakfast

For breakfast, she bought Italian loaves made of three ingredients: flour, water, and salt for toast, brioche for French toast, eggs, bagels, cream cheese, and butter. As a treat, she tossed in Aldi cinnamon rolls that make the house smell nice and cozy.

Lunch

Lunch includes black forest ham sandwiches, a selection of cheeses for charcuterie boards, and a pack of croissants that she’ll also use for breakfast.

Dinner

For dinner, Ashley and her family love pizzas in all forms, and she also plans a lot of meat dishes, including quesadillas, fajitas, turkey burgers, pork dishes, salmon (plus asparagus), and hot dogs. She’ll also whip up a couple of chicken dishes using jumbo packs of boneless chicken breasts. For meatless dinners, there will be pasta or shells and cheese.

Ashley gets in a few fresh fruit picks including raspberries, a pineapple, watermelon, and apples. Rounding out the list, drinks include orange juice, almond milk (for cereal, mostly), Gatorade, and caramel macchiato coffee creamers.
