THM No Special Ingredient Menu Plan + Shopping List! (Jan 2018!)

January 29, 2018 by Cate H

This post might include affiliate links for products that I know and LOVE!

After I wrote my ALDI THM Menu Plan, I got requests for more! It looks like you love frugal, easy menu plans as much as I do! 🙂

If you have an ALDI in your area, you’re going to appreciate this no special ingredient menu plan, featuring ingredients you can find at your local ALDI store. No ALDI in your area? No problem. Chances are, you’ll be able to find the same ingredients at another grocery store like Walmart. Every recipe in this meal plan is found online, which makes this a great plan for those of you who are waiting for your THM books! Each recipe comes from either myself or a veteran THM blogger that I know (and love!) and is guaranteed to be on plan. I also created a shopping list with ALL of the ingredients you need to get.

 

Don’t be intimidated by the size of the shopping list. Chances are, you have many ingredients like salt, pepper, spices, etc in your cupboards already. I just wanted to be thorough and absolutely make sure you have everything you need for the week! ? I’d say this meal plan would serve 6-8 people. Look over the recipes, take a peek at the shopping list and adjust the ingredients as needed. My list is just an estimate and you know your family better than anyone! Coming from a large family and having two growing boys of my own, I know that each family’s needs differ greatly! I do not have a price estimate for this menu plan as grocery costs vary so much in each area.

    […] Most of my menu plan consists of no-special-ingredient recipes, mainly grocery items you can find at an ALDI. Every so often, I’ll add a Trimtastic Cake in the mix, but even that is rare. I store my Baking Blend in the freezer so it doesn’t go bad! If you’d like to check out a couple of my menu plans you can click here. […]
