Using a weekly Meal Plan takes the drama out of midweek dinners. Stay balanced, save money and save your sanity!
This is the fifth weekly meal plan I will be sharing on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and so many of you asked for all of the info in one place, so here it is. Watch out for the videos of each recipe coming each night this week, so you can cook along.
For reference, I shopped for this Meal Plan in May 2022 at Aldi and it cost £34.21.

Meal Plan 4 – £35 from Aldi (all 30 minute meals!)
Monday:
Oven Baked Fajitas
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
⭐️ Serve with the Mini Wraps, 100g of the grated cheese, the avocado, and some of the 200g of yoghurt.
Tuesday:
Sticky Sausage Traybake
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
⭐️ Sometimes Aldi sell bags of ready chopped “Casserole Vegetables” which include all of the vegetables in this recipe ready prepared and they are good value. Annoyingly they didn’t have them in stock at the time of my writing this, but if they do you could substitute for all of the vegetables and save yourself some chopping!
⭐️ You can use whatever combination of similar root vegetables you prefer.
Wednesday
Slow Cooker Beef Curry
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
⭐️ Use 700g of beef instead of the 1kg mentioned in the recipe (1kg is for 6 portions). You can also increase the spinach from the recipe if you like as you’ll have a larger bag.
⭐️ Replace the 200g of curry paste with 4 tsp of Medium Curry Powder (as Aldi don’t sell paste).
⭐️ Serve with the poppadoms, rice, extra mango chutney and yoghurt on the side.
Thursday
Halloumi Bake
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
⭐️ Double the recipe listed (as that’s only for 2 people). I used 2 x 500g packs of Courgettes and 1 Aubergine for the doubled recipe (it should be 2 aubergines) but this was a cheaper way of having the same weight of vegetables and still tastes great.
⭐️ Serve with the Bake at Home Baguettes.
Friday
Tuna Pasta Bake
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)
⭐️ No notes on this one, apart from it’s my new shortcut and I actually think it tastes better than a traditional Tuna Pasta Bake – what do you think?!

Hi Sarah, thanks again for these meal plans. I’ve saved so much money since shopping to your plan and the food has been wonderful and so different from the boring meals I was cooking before! As an FYI to anyone on here, I just bought all the stuff for this meal plan from Tescos and it cost £ 34.68 (18th May 2022)

Bought the ingredients yesterday and tried out the fajitas today, loved them and so quick and easy! On the shopping list there is a swede – which recipe is this used in please? Thanks!
Sarah Barnes says
Hi Stef, sorry there was a mistaken swede on the first list (as you can use it in the sausage traybake) but I removed it as not vital. Is the total on the one you have £34.21? That’s the latest version that’s on the site now, no swede. Sorry for the confusion!
Stef says
Hi, thanks for your reply! No problem, the list I can see is £34.68 which includes the swede. Trying the sausage tray bake tonight so will add the swede anyway, looking forward to it!
