ALDI Kosher Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: Chicken wings at $1.43 per serving and ground turkey at $2.00 per serving are the real workhorses of this week, anchoring two of the five dinners at very low cost. Ground beef burgers come in as a solid mid-range option at $2.44 per serving and earn a third economical night. The organic grass-fed ground beef is a step up in price but still reasonable, giving the week a fourth varied protein at $3.00 per serving. Salmon is the clear premium item on this flyer at $3.37 per serving, so it takes the one premium night on Friday. The Kirkwood ground turkey package is a full 48 oz (3 lbs), which is generous for 4 people and makes it one of the best per-serving values on the entire flyer this week. Zucchini, grape tomatoes, and peaches from the produce sale add color and freshness to multiple meals without repeating the same vegetable more than twice across the week.
