From time to time one of those big ass pork loins goes on sale. And when that happens of course, being the anal retentive money guy I am, I take advantage of it.
Those "big ass" pork loins were on sale at Schnucks. My wife does not work full time for the store anymore but still works there since she took her new job as a pharmacy tech at a major hospital. So we still get our 10% off.
They were on sale for $1.49 per pound. With her discount that brought it down to $1.34 per pound.
I got almost 11 pounds for about $15.
I cut it up into three roasts and three packages of 4 each pork loin chops.
For $15 we will be eating off of this for a LONG time. I just love it when we can have good food and save a ton of money to boot.
We are having one of the roasts tonight for dinner.

That's a very good deal.
I have no need for the huge beef roast like that I used to buy and cut up. However, I do look for a good-sized roast I can cut in half for two meal in the crockpot. Each meal makes three meals. So, I do well too with on pot roast.

@just4him Lacking freezer space does make a difference. I actually would like to get one of those tall stand up freezers. Just haven't gotten one yet. I hate chest freezers...too easy for things to get lost on the bottom and harder to organize and find what you need or want.

We often buy a large cut of meat and it lasts for ages. We might freeze some and/or cook it in different ways.

Yes! I love those deals. I used to buy those as well when on sale and cut then up myself, do you half freeze yours for easier slicing?

I love a good deal. We've been looking for a sale on Country-style ribs for a long time; but they haven't had one...and no sales on a pork loin. Good job!
