Why it’s cheap

3 of the 4 ingredients were on sale at ALDI the week of October 4, 2026, led by instant oatmeal, maple and brown sugar at $1.65 instead of $2.09.

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 $1.29 a serving, or $2.58 for 2 servings.
