Meat Bargain of the Week

There is no one in this economy who isn't a bit more cautious about their trips to the grocery store. Maybe that means a few fewer trips to the Whole Foods and a few more to the Safeway or the Giant. Maybe it is buying less high end ingredients like imported cheeses or berries or name brands. I love a bargain. So yesterday when I went to Safeway to buy pancake syrup - not an area that I am willing to scrimp on - I must have maple syrup even at $9 a bottle, I found a huge deal that I wanted to share. This week Safeway has center-cut pork loin for $1.88 a lb.


So I bought a 9.5 lbs of pork yesterday. I cut it into 2 roasts, 4 "boneless chops" and some cubed pork for stew - all for $16! That is about $3.50 a meal for my family of three. I love pork loin for its versatility - BBQ, stuffed, stew, etc. I love it even more when I get a deal.
