ALDI Kosher Meal Plan

BUDGET RATIONALE

Protein ranking (most economical to most expensive per serving for 4 people):
- Farmer Focus Fresh Antibiotic Free Family Pack Whole Chicken Wings at $2.29/lb - 2 lbs feeds 4 as a main, roughly $4.58 total or about $1.15 per person
- Kirkwood Fresh 85/15 Ground Turkey 48 oz at $7.99 each - one 48 oz (3 lb) package feeds 4 generously, roughly $7.99 total or about $2.00 per person
- Simply Nature Fresh Organic 85/15 Grass-Fed Ground Beef 1 lb at $5.99 each - need 1.5 lbs for 4 people, so 2 packages at $11.98 total or about $3.00 per person
- Fresh 93/7 Ground Beef Burgers at $6.49/lb - 1.5 lbs feeds 4, roughly $9.74 total or about $2.44 per person (note: ranked above grass-fed ground beef on a per-serving basis when buying exactly the weight needed, but the grass-fed requires two full $5.99 packages making it costlier in practice)
- Fresh Atlantic Salmon Portion at $8.99/lb - 2 lbs feeds 4, roughly $17.98 total or about $4.50 per person - this is the premium night

Why these meals: Chicken wings at $2.29/lb are the standout value this week, making Monday a genuinely cheap and satisfying dinner. Ground turkey at $7.99 for a full 48-oz package is an excellent deal and anchors a hearty midweek meal. The 93/7 ground beef burgers give you a classic Friday cookout feel at a reasonable price. Grass-fed ground beef at $5.99 per 1-lb package is solid for one night but requires two packages for four people, so it earns its spot as a slightly pricier economical night rather than the premium slot. Fresh Atlantic Salmon at $8.99/lb is clearly the most expensive protein per serving this week, so it takes the single premium night on Thursday - and at roughly $4.50 per person it is still a far better value than restaurant salmon. The flyer is light on pantry staples, so most supporting ingredients come from your kitchen, which keeps the total comfortably within range.
