Aldi shopper feeds family of four for £1 a head

A thrifty Aldi shopper has revealed her simple recipes which cost £1 per portion to feed a family of four.

Becky Excell has created a menu of nutritious and healthy dishes including smoky tomato rice, sticky sausage stew and turkey and cranberry pie. The influencer and author has created these meals to help inspire those looking to make more affordable choices during the cost-of-living crisis.

Other dishes include sweet potato and chickpea curry and an Italian-inspired gnocchi bake. Becky, who has teamed up with Aldi to create the meals, said: “Making recipes like this and combining high quality with low prices is possible if you know where to shop.

"This means there is no need to sacrifice taste, excitement or nutritional value when cooking budget-friendly food."

The recipes come after research of 2,000 adults, commissioned by Aldi, found the average household spends nearly £230 on food each month. More than 64% are keen to keep their food bills down and 41% have already changed their habits when it comes to shopping and cooking.

As many as three in 10 are buying more frozen food while 57% are opting for cheaper alternatives when doing their usual shop.

Julie Ashfield, from Aldi UK, said: “We are committed to providing the best possible quality and value to all our customers – and these £1 meal ideas do exactly that.

“We know how hard it is for so many people at the moment which is why we are more focused than ever on delivering our longstanding price promise by offering the lowest possible prices in Britain, every single day.

“These recipes all include ingredients that are easily accessible and we hope they offer families up and down the country some ideas and inspiration for more affordable meal choices this winter.”
