Meal prep at Aldi
A limited-range discounter: fewer lines per category, but consistently among the cheapest UK baskets.
What it does well
- Large fresh meat and mince packs that portion well for batch cooking.
- Cheap frozen vegetables and fruit, which keep weekly costs stable.
- Own-brand dairy — Greek-style yogurt, cottage cheese, skyr — at discounter prices.
Worth knowing
- Ranges rotate and stock varies by store, so plan a fallback for any single named product.
- Fewer speciality and free-from lines than the big four, which matters for restrictive diets.
Keep going
- Browse all Aldi meal plans
- Put two plans side by side
- Estimate your weekly shop
- Compare protein foods by cost
