Pork tenderloin was on sale at Meijer two weeks ago for $1.99/lb, so I bought a large package. I got on the web and found a good recipe for slow cooker pork tenderloin. That night, we ate about 1/4 of the two tenderloins that were in the package. The next day, my husband and son packed leftovers for lunch.
Two days later I took another 1/4 of the tenderloin and mixed it with Famous Dave’s sauce to make four pulled pork sandwiches, which we had for dinner with homemade French fries and corn.
Then, because I get tired of having the same cut of meat in a week (even though I use it in different recipes) I froze 1/2 cup of pork in one container and 1 cup of pork in another container.
Many people probably cook like this, but I have just started doing so in the last year or so. I used to just cook up the pork tenderloin and suffer through eating the same meal for 5 days until the leftovers were finished. It doesn’t have to be that way. It is possible to eat tasty, varied meals while on a budget.
I shared this post at $5 Dinners, Tasty Tuesdays and Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays.

Great Post! Thanks for the reminder to get creative with leftovers! And that pork fried rice looks yummy! Now, I really want to dig out my Grandma’s recipe and make some egg rolls too!
