- Replies 0
ALDI’s “Grill Master” meat box is back for its fourth summer—and it’s already causing a stir.
Priced at $65, this pre-packed meat assortment claims to offer serious value for backyard grillers.
Social media is filled with reviews, unboxings, and a lot of heated debate.
So is it actually worth the money?
The 2025 version includes 18 total pieces of meat across beef, pork, and chicken. According to ALDI Reviewer, the exact cuts are:
Influencers and returning buyers are driving demand. Online user @lovescooking8 rated the ribeye a 6.5 out of 10, saying, “Ribeyes actually don’t look bad.”
@carleylolley called it “SUCH A GREAT DEAL FOR SO MUCH MEAT!” in her clip.
Meanwhile, @jayceebrammer said it was her “favorite ALDI find.” adding, “It’s so good, and it’s nice just to not have to think about what you’re cooking every week.”
Not all feedback has been glowing. One user questioned the quantity: “It’s only 7 pounds of meat? I think it’s definitely a cool option but idk about cost effectiveness.”

Another said, “It’s actually very overpriced when you break down the per pound cost we bought it once, never again!” The lack of visibility on individual cuts is also a turn-off for some buyers.

According to ALDIReviewer, the quality has improved dramatically over the years.
“We’re consistently surprised by how well the steaks and burgers and other meats hold up. They’re our go-to for family gatherings and social occasions,” the review says.
Some users agree, saying ALDI meat rivals pricier grocers. Others still prefer hand-picking from a butcher case.
The Grill Master box saves time on meal planning and cuts down shopping trips. Everything is portioned, boxed, and ready for the freezer or the grill.

For busy households or those hosting cookouts, that’s a big win. There’s no need to browse meat aisles or juggle separate prices.
You get variety, reasonable quality, and all-in-one convenience at a per-pound price that’s fair.
But if you prefer full control over your cuts or are shopping on a strict budget, buying meats individually might stretch your dollar further.
This is a box for easy grilling—not custom meat prep.
