Some food for thought for some to consider FB has pork 1/2 loin's on for $1.47lbs and if you have a meat grinder would be super cheap to make your own ground pork. Also make your own pork chops (fast fries other normal sized)
I will be stocking up on the 1/2 pork loins this week as they are great for pulled pork, roast pork, we cut them into pork chops as well and the roast can be cut into lunch meat which is so much cheaper than than the cold cuts which are so expensive. We also make hot roast pork sandwiches so I can't wait to stock up.2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

I was pleased to find pork loin halves (I think that is what they were) on sale for $1.88/lb last week at RCSS. It was easy to slice into thin pork chops; some 3/4" cubes for Sweet and Sour Pork, and some bigger 2 pounds chunks for making pulled pork. I normally don't do this, but by investing an hour or so it was an easy way to make your food dollar go further.

Not really sure about money wise but perogies are cheap to buy.
And they are a pain to make.

I was going to say the tinned soups when on sale, but I'm of two minds on this. Last week, my throat wasn't feeling great so I brought a can of vegetable soup to work. Afterwards, my throat hurt a bit (from the sodium?) and some had gotten on the spoon handle and on my finger. My finger was bright orange. Do they add artificial colourants?
It is much better to make yourself, but the last thing you want to do when sick is buy chicken, boil, peel and cut vegetables...
If I have the time, I like making things myself, even if they are a bit more expensive. One of the reasons is that it's a learning experience and it's something that I'll always have to reference to, compared to opening a box or a tin. Most times, there's no time and no experts to teach you the subtle tips and tricks so time-wise, the convenient way is more economical. I like to consider the costs health-wise too, which might make the homemade variety "cheaper".

Yes they are not worth the work to make when I can buy on sale for less then $2 a box! We love them!
On date night awhile ago my honey made us homemade from scratch ravioli. Oh my it was good but took forever to make. It was like an assembly line, me rolling out the dough, him stuffing it quick before it shrinks up. Yummy but next time we will make in the afternoon not during date night lol

I was quite surprised yesterday at the price of pre made Salads, normally we never buy them but I am on the road for work so I usually pick one up and put it in the fridge for my lunches for the week. Considering the price of produce it was actually cheaper to buy the pre made salad then making one by the time I would have purchased the Romaine, Carrots, Cucumber, tomatoes I could not have made the salad for what I paid for the pre made one.

@SassyAshley - you need to be careful with the premade salads, there is a current recall for Dole/PC and other ones because of listeria.

Well I will be stocking up on the lean ground beef that is on sale at Independent grocers this week, since the price is right I will be making homemade burgers for sure....happy dance.
Perogies make a great side dish BUT I will admit I don't cook them in a broth I deep fry them and serve with sour cream yummers even the kiddos will eat them.Last edited by jasperandchar; Sat, Jan 30th, 2016 at 03:17 PM.
