Ingredients

Prices are from ALDI the week of October 11, 2026. Sale prices change every week and differ by store.

Steps

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté diced onion until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Drain and rinse the canned corn and beans, then add them to the skillet.
  3. Stir in cumin and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
  4. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  5. Finish with hot sauce if using, taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper, and serve.

Why it’s cheap

3 of the 9 ingredients were on sale at ALDI the week of October 11, 2026, led by happy harvest canned whole kernel golden sweet corn at $0.50 instead of $0.82.

Penny Meals prices a dinner by the share of each package you actually cook, adds an estimated shelf price for anything that wasn’t on sale, and counts pantry staples like oil and salt as free. That came to $0.61 a serving, or $1.83 for 3 servings.
