If you have an ALDI in your area, you’re going to appreciate this no special ingredient ALDI meal plan, featuring ingredients you can find at your local ALDI store. Every recipe in this meal plan is found online, which makes this a great plan for those of you who are waiting on 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 at ALDI.
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. Coming from a large family and having two growing boys of my own, I know that each family’s needs differ greatly!
I tried to include a veggie with each dinner to make sure this ALDI meal plan is as trim as possible.

Did you get my order for some books
Hi, Amy!
I don’t sell any books on my website, I think you might have me confused with the Trim Healthy Mama store!
Thanks for sharing. I’d like to print out the shopping list. Do you have a link to a printable list?
Yes, at the bottom of the post there is a link to print!
Thanks So much for the recipes and grocery list . I am just getting started and going to Aldis this week to stock up!
I’m so glad you like it! <3
Wow! Thank you so much for this!!!
You’re welcome! <3
thank you for this list. good side tracked so have not made all the recipes yet. We love the chicken cordon bleu. Have the Zesty Salsa Chicken in fridge. I did it in skillet. Also made creamy Broccoli Salad – YUM. keep these menu lists coming. I need to plan my own menu lists but these are so helpful.
Wow! You go girl. 🙂 I’m so glad I could help!
thanks so much for this yummy looking meal plan! do you happen to have an estimate of what the total cost would be?
This meal plan cost me about $130, but I didn’t have a few of the staples that most people already have! I live in the Midwest. 🙂
Thank you. I purchased about 98% of the items today at ALDI for $135. What I didn’t purchase were all spices because I already had those on hand and the eggs.
What do the letters mean after the meal plan like (e) or (s)?
Energizing (E) or Satisfying (S). On the Trim Healthy Mama plan, E meals are low fat and S meals are low carb. I’m still reading the book for the first time so I’m not an expert! If you haven’t read it yet, it’s very helpful and explains all this in an easy to understand and engaging way. Your library might even have a copy!
Hi! I know this menu is old, but I am just trying it out. So far so good…. thank you! I see dessert listed at the bottom. Is that just for Sunday, or everyday? Thanks!
