This week's Aldi meal plan: 7 dinners for $58.16
Updated October 28, 2026 · prices from the Aldi ad running through November 3, 2026
Every week the Aldi ad resets, and every week we do the same thing with it: find the seven dinners that make the most of the new prices, price them out, and put them in one place. This week the ad is led by family-pack chicken breasts at $1.99 a pound, ground beef at $2.99 a pound, and 49-cent avocados, which is why the week leans on chicken, ground beef, and a Sunday pork chop dinner.
Nothing here is locked in. Every dinner links to its full recipe page with the ingredients, the prices, and the steps — and the planner will rebuild the whole week around your own zip code, household size, and budget.

This week's ad prices
Verified by hand from the Aldi weekly ad for October 28 – November 3, 2026. Everyday pantry prices are not included.
How we pick these
- 1
The ad comes first, not the recipes
Every price on this page is checked by hand against the Aldi weekly ad before anything else happens. Whatever is actually on sale sets the shape of the week.
- 2
Each dinner has to use an advertised item
We match the ad against the ingredients of all 50 dinners in our catalog, word for word. A dinner only counts if one of the things in it is genuinely in this week's ad — nothing is included on a hunch.
- 3
Ranked by coverage, then balanced
Dinners that use more than one advertised item rank first, then we cap it at two dinners leaning on the same one. That is how the week stays varied instead of turning into five nights of chicken.
- 4
Priced the way the planner prices
Each dinner carries the same per-portion estimate the app uses, so the total here matches what you would see planning the week for four people. Prices are estimates: confirm them in store.
