I made a run to IGA on Monday morning after dropping my daughter off at school. This is what I picked up that day:
Cranberry Salad – 50¢ (Markdown in the Deli)
Siler Baby Lima Beans -1 pound -$1.49
Carrots – 1 pound – 99¢
2 cans Southgate Chili – $2.00
Lea & Perrins W-shire Sauce – $2.29
Pork Roast $3.91
Pork Roast $5.50
8 pounds potatoes - $2.49
After I came home, I got busy putting dinner in my crockpots. I put the pork roast with some of the potatoes and carrots in my big crockpot and I put the dried Lima beans & water in the smaller crockpot. I served this with the leftover broccoli from Sunday night's dinner. Here is a picture of one of the dinner plates:
On Tuesday, I came home from work and made a stew out of the remains of the pork, potatoes, and carrots. I added the leftover corn and peas from Sunday night's dinner and we had pork stew for Tuesday's night dinner.
I fed dinner to four people on Monday night, three people on Tuesday night, and lunch for two people the next day. So, out of this pork roast dinner I was able to make nine meals in all for approximately $1.42 per serving. That certainly beats the price of eating dinner or lunch out of the house.
Here is a picture of the stew that I included in my lunch the next day:

Have you been stretching any of your meals lately? We would love to read all about it in the comment section. :)
