People love ALDI for a lot of reasons, but at the top of that list is the supermarket chain's dirt-cheap prices. Buying groceries there will do less damage on your wallet than nearly anywhere else (seriously, even Walmart!). On a recent visit, we put together seven dinners that'll cost you less than $3 per serving — including one that's barely more than a buck.
Salmon Burgers With Asian Chopped Salad
ALDI's
salad kits clock in at under $3 a bag. Spring for the Little Salad Bar Asian Chopped Salad Kit and have it alongside or served on top of a Sea Queen Wild Caught Chipotle Salmon Burger on a Specially Selected Brioche Bun. Dinner will come out to $2.33 per person.
Stir Fry with Chicken and Rice
You can find Fusia's Szechuan Stir Fry (a combo of broccoli, carrots, green beans, and bell peppers) and Sticky White Rice in the freezer section. Buy a pound of Kirkwood Chicken Breasts to mix in, and you've got dinner for $1.70 per serving.
Chicken Fajitas
Kirkwood Chicken Fajitas with Fresh Cut Vegetables aren't only cheap, they're insanely easy to make. You just pop the container in the microwave for four minutes, divvy them up into Pueblo Lino Fajita Tortillas and top with Happy Farms Mexican Shredded Cheese. Voila! A meal for $2.69 per serving.
Cheese Tortellini with Sausage and Caesar Salad
Prepackaged pasta might not rival Nonna's, but it's definitely affordable. Grab Priano Three Cheese Tortellini and one Parkview Polska Kielbasa sausage, and mix them together with Reggano Marinara Pasta Sauce. Even with a Little Salad Bar Caesar Salad Kit (to make mom happy), dinner comes out to $2.19 per person.
Beef Chili with Tortilla Chips
If you pick up a packet of Stonemill Essentials Chili Original Seasoning, you'll be able to shop for the rest of your ingredients from the back of it. The bare bones stew — just Dakota's Kidney Beans, Fit & Active Tomato Sauce, and ground beef — comes out to $1.21 per serving. If you feel like getting a little fancier, you could add Friendly Farms Sour Cream, Happy Farms Mexican Shredded Cheese, and a handful of Clancy's Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips to each bowl, and you'd total just $1.63 per serving.
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Sweet Potato Fries
For an inexpensive at-home barbecue meal, load your cart with these things: Appleton Farms Pulled Pork, L'oven Fresh Potato Rolls, Season's Choice Sweet Potato Fries, and a jar of Great Gherkins Kosher Dill Spears. The sandwiches will ring up to $2.06 per person.
Chicken and Vegetable Kabobs with Pasta Salad
Kirkwood Chipotle Seasoned Chicken Breast Kabobs come already skewered, but you can fill out the meal by making veggie ones with bell peppers and red onions. A toss-and-serve pasta salad brings the meal to $2.90 per serving.
