Aldi Meal Plan: 20 Easy Slow Cooker Meals For Only $150

A few weeks ago, I launched an Aldi Meal Plan that allows you to make 20 slow cooker “dump” meals for under $150.

The response was amazing, and within a day, I was already getting emails begging for a second plan!  

I am SO excited to provide another Aldi meal plan for you. This time, you will make 20 meals at Aldi for $150, and every one of them is a Slow Cooker Meal that can be prepped ahead of time!

Key Takeaways

Aldi Meal Plan: 20 Easy Slow Cooker Meals For Only $150

It is HOT during the summer, and we don’t really want to use the oven, so I use our slow cooker a lot- as you can see, 20 days out of the month!  

I thought this would be super easy for you all. This way, you can start dinner in the morning, go outside, and enjoy your kids this summer without having to stress over dinner.

Keep in mind that prices vary by store so that yours may be slightly higher or lower depending on the item.  

Additionally, meat items like pork loin, whole chicken, ground beef, etc., vary in weight and might not match exactly what I estimated.

However, the serving sizes are a little larger than the last ALDI meal plan, so most recipes will likely feed more than 6 people.

I priced it out, did our shopping, and came in spending $147.63!   You don’t have to get this all in one trip if that doesn’t work for your family.  

Many of these recipes can also be made ahead and frozen for a quick meal later; I noted that in the printable pack available below.

My “touch each ingredient once” system for putting meals together has gotten RAVE reviews. I spent hours deconstructing each recipe to create charts designed to make preparation as easy as possible.

If you used this setup from my original dump meal plan, you know just how much time this saves!

Just because these recipes are easy to put together doesn’t mean that they aren’t awesome – because they are! Check out the recipes that you will be making:

• Texas Roadhouse Pot Roast
• Spinach and Artichoke Chicken
• Chicken Parmesan
• Apple Cinnamon Pork Loin
• Chili (like the BEST chili recipe… ever)
• BBQ Meatloaf
• Chicken Stew
• Citrus Caribbean Chicken
• Chicken Noodle Soup
• Sausage and Kale Soup
