This weekend we went shopping for two weeks worth of groceries. We all went, Hubby, BIL, Tommy and I. This can be a recipe for over spending, but it went ok!
ALDI -102.76
Extras bought at Aldi = Half a Pork Loin – 15.17
Hubby cut up the pork Loin and made about 20 Pork Steaks, which he separated into meals and froze.
Festival – 55.88
Extra Bought at Festival – Pork Loin Sirloin Roast – 12.77
I should have cut this into two pieces, but didn’t think of it. I will need to make it stretch for two meals. Any ideas what to make with left over pork roast???
Total – 158.64 / 2 = 79.32 per week.
I was slightly over my weekly budget of 75.00, but I bought some meat on sale for future meals. I had money left over from last week as well. I continue to save the money over from week to week so I can buy meat when I see it on sale, etc.
Check out our menu for the next two weeks to see what we all bought, etc.
Happy Monday!!!

Good job, Jen!!!
Leftover pork roast: Two ideas!
1) Splurge and have warm sliced pork sandwiches (YUM!), or,
2) Chop the pork, add barbecue sauce, heat and serve on buns.
#2 could also be used for another lunch, if there are leftovers from barbecue pork dinner.

Also found another suggestion for pork fried rice.
