Aldi Frugal Dinner Challenge//32 Meals for $20

Extreme budget cooking is still possible in 2022 - and one dollar can still buy you dinner! Aldi is still a clear winner when it comes to beating inflation and saving money on food costs. Inspired by a video from Homestead Tessie, I created this frugal meal challenge to spend no more than $20 at Aldi and then create a menu plan to feed my family of four dinner for an entire week. The twist is: no ingredient could cost more than $1.00. Head to Aldi with me and my 18 year old son, Daniel, as we shop and plan meals for under $20.

This video is so adorable!!! Daniel has the best personality, sense of humor and public speaking skills. What an amazing and sharp dressed young man! Your 3 sons are impressive. Well done, Hope and Larry!

I just found this randomly on my recommended videos and this kid Daniel is cracking me up. He's definitely got the right attitude. Love his energy. Brilliant.

I would love to see the finished meals along with these type of videos. Your son is a great teacher just like yourself.

Daniel is a natural! He’s got a great personality and laugh! I would have got him the pudding!!

As a family of three (I also have a son) on a tight budget, I find this video so wonderful, inspiring and helpful. I never thought to do such a challenge. I just go day by day, but this challenge is such a novelty, definitely trying it!
I usually go for dry legumes, that I buy in bulk, it's more bang for my money, and might get a few veggies for what I save, like carrots, broccoli or some lettuce. So that's my tip for people who want to do this for even less!!!

Daniel has a lot of charisma! He's great on camera. I love this type of video. Thanks guys!

[jennifersanchez]

Your son is such a debonair, handsome dude!
Great confidence and a presence on the camera!
We are homeschool (just started) and are so blessed to see the amazing job you have done in your homeschool journey as well!
God bless, thanks for the videos!

“Dont forget the avocado…. Or I will find you” Daniel I like your style! 🥑

[SarahatTheParmFarm]

I would love to see a video of Daniel’s best tips he has learned from his parents about being frugal. It’s fun to see a young person’s perspective. I learned nothing about being frugal growing up and have learned a lot since being on my own at 17.

Watching you interact with your son gives me hope that me and my 8 year old will still be close when he grows up ❤️

[daviddeininger]

I love Daniel's hat. So fun when he shops with mom. And I bet Larry was running the camera. Good job everyone. Lorraine

You can extend that avocado a little bit more by mixing it with a little bit of tomatoes and a vegan mayonnaise inside of a blender and you'll really fluff it up and then you could spread it over a lot more recipes than just slicing up the avocado

I am able to feed two adults and two children on $230 per month by shopping at Aldi or Lidl. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Good prices! Love these types of videos. Thanks.

Try grabbing frozen vegetables at 1.00 a bag and canning it . This will give you 2 points of vegetables for 50. Cents a jar which is cheaper and more healthier for you than buying a cans from your store.
Me I buy the great big bags at Costco on my frozen vegetables at 8.00 a bag and end up getting 12 points of vegetables.
Only preservative that I add is a pinch of salt and hot water and pressure can them

[carrottopsrgreen]

I love these frugal challenges! You made it extra hard on yourselves with the $1 or less per item requirement. Great job...keep 'em coming!

[moomoocho]

You guys should write a Frugal cook book…it would be great! Great video keep them coming…

[angelicanevarez]

Daniel is so kind. Get him some pudding and his own grocery trip. Great person!

[cgt]

I'm impressed! Great job!!! You and Daniel are a great team!

[karenfaries]

Daniel is learning so much from you and I love it ❣️
