Questions about this plan
Is $70 a week enough for 2 people?
This plan's checkout estimate is $48–$70 at Aldi; the central estimate is ≈ $59, against a $70 target. Prices are averages, so your shelf prices will differ. Treat it as a realistic starting point, not a guarantee.
What do I need at home for this plan?
Pantry basics used: baking powder, bay leaf, black pepper, flour, olive oil, dried oregano, sweet paprika and salt. These basics are used in small amounts, so they are not part of the shopping list.
What is the difference between "food you eat" and "at the checkout"?
The meals use about $31–$44 of food. At the checkout you pay $48–$70 because you buy whole packages and some of each is left over for another meal.
Is this plan safe for allergies?
No plan can guarantee that. Check every label and cross-contact warning yourself. In the CentMenu app you can exclude allergens and the planner filters recipes accordingly.
