Targets are for the meals you plan here, not food outside the plan. They are references, not personalized dietary advice; review the daily totals.

You can change these choices at any time.

Clear estimates. No pretend connections.

Sample product choices, pack sizes and prices only. Nutrition is estimated. This independent concept has no live Aldi inventory, cart, checkout or payment system.

How the plan is generated

We compare balanced recipe rotations for your days, meals, people, food preferences, budget and nutrition targets. Available variety comes first: we avoid same-day repeats when enough suitable recipes exist, keep breakfast in its place and rotate the savory meals. Among varied candidates, we favor a budget-fitting plan. If none fits, we show the least expensive varied candidate tested and the amount over budget, rather than repeating the cheapest meal all week. This is not a guarantee of the cheapest plan or exact nutrition targets. Your selected 1–5 meals per person per day are kept; meals are never silently removed to meet a budget.

How quantities and nutrition work

Every scheduled meal occurrence counts. Ingredient grams × static per-100g nutrition values ÷ 100 gives a serving’s nutrition. Daily totals are per person. Shopping quantities combine all meals across all days, then multiply by people. Weights specify raw, dry or drained. Direct calorie inputs can differ from a 4/4/9 macro conversion.

How the budget works

Combined quantities are rounded up to whole sample packs and multiplied by sample USD pack prices. The budget covers all days and everyone. We use the top of your selected $10 range as the planning limit, not a minimum to spend. Previously saved exact limits are preserved. It includes pantry items and assumes an empty pantry. Extras, taxes, deposits and delivery fees are excluded. Checkmarks are for your convenience; a quantity of zero removes an ingredient’s estimated pack cost. Actual prices and edible yields vary.
