Aldi Meal Planner

This is the link to all of their recipes. It's a great frugal cooking site.

This is in their FAQ section:

Do you have recipes for people on a budget?
We currently do not have the ability to calculate the actual cost of any recipe that you select on our site however, you can be assured that using ALDI grocery ingredients you will be preparing a good tasting notorious meal at a price well below the average cost to prepare home cooked meals.


Do you think they meant nutritious, or notorious? I know it's a German company and spell check wouldn't have caught that one.
