A woman has revealed how she spent just $106 on a week’s worth of dinners after shopping at Aldi.
The mum-of-two, who is behind the Instagram handle My Family Eats, was attempting a challenge of making seven nights of dinners to feed a family of four for $100.
She shared her dinner plan for the week on the social platform, with the cost per dinner averaging out at just over $15.
She began with Mexican chicken taco bowls and then used the remaining chicken breast she purchased for Greek chicken bowls the second night.
Tomato and red onion were also separated across the two meals, with the mother taking out the taco seasoning from a meal kit to season the chicken for the first meal.

“For the next night, I’ll be doing a soft fish taco,” she said, using the rest of the meal kit.
“For the fish, there are eight pieces of fish in this packet. You won’t use all of that so it can be used over two nights.”
Other dishes on the menu included gnocchi bake (currently a big trend on TikTok), as well as pumpkin tortellini with creamy spinach sauce, meatball subs with salad and char sui pork with lemongrass rice and broccolini.
“What I love the most is that you make well-rounded healthy meals! I am going to be copying this for this weeks shopping! Love your work,” one person commented.
Another said: “I follow you from New Zealand and am quite amazed at the lower prices of food over there compared to here.”
Another woman said: “Love, love, love these $100 challenges. Thank you.
“Saving my family a huge amount. Could you do something like this for lunches/lunch box challenge?”
Another said: “Oh I am so keen to see these meals! I’m so bored with our current menus; need to shake it up!”
