Normally my wife is here to help me with this sort of thing, but she's out of town for the weekend and I am on my own.
But I bought a whole pork loin on Wednesday, and I have to get to cutting it up into a roast, some loin chops and country style ribs, wrap it in freezer paper, and freeze it.
I got it on sale at just $1.49 per pound, which is a good deal and the sale goes until next Tuesday. I might just go and get another one. Nowadays you really have to take advantage of cost savings wherever you can.

I am really looking for bargains now since pork steaks went from $1.94 per pound to $2.24 per pound, and I am out of ground beef and haven't bought since it's almost $5 a pound and I just won't pay that. I'm hunting for any bargain I can find, trust me.

That is a good price for the pork and it would probably be a good idea to buy another one. I do love pork tenderloin

I'd be buying a second one too. As you say, you need to take advantage of whatever savings are offered.

I was about to ask why you got that big piece of meat if your wife is out of town. I guess freezing it is not a bad idea. I prefer fresh meat though, especially since we have no way of knowing if what we buy at the store has been previously frozen or not.

That's a really good price. Probably because you have to cut it up yourself.

@porwest Read it. The idea of country style ribs is making my mouth water.

That's mainly it. But it's a MASSIVE cost savings. I did a little break down in my response to @Looeyville if you want to peruse it. It's worth the work and we'll get a ton of meals out of it.

With today's astronomical prices, it definitely pays to shop around for the best deals. You got a darn good deal on the pork loin.
