Last week's menu plan was an awesome success. I didn't always eat everything in order, but we stuck to the plan and stayed with in budget. This week was a huge pork sale at the grocery store. Pork was half price, so I bought a huge 7 pound loin, and a roaster to make pulled pork out of. We're not typically such heavy pork eaters, but the deal was too good to pass up. We decided to cut up the big 7 pound loin into 3 pieces, roughly 2 and a quarter pounds each. That boils down to just about 8 bucks a meal for meat for a family of four.
Let's hope we can do it again!
Monday: Shepherd's Pie
Tuesday: Pulled Pork, with a side salad

Pork, pork, and more pork
