thank you mr wolf pitt, I dont have a family to feed but i am a student. I like to use your recipes to make cheap things i can freeze in bulk and reheat when i have no money.
I'm sick as a dog right now and I wanted you to know that your interesting and calming content is helping distract me from the fever and the pain. So thank you 😊
I love what this channel has evolved into while still retaining the same feel as the older videos we all fell in love with. This is how you shift focus while still remaining on brand. Well done wolfepitt!
Your daughters are lucky to have you. Check out sprouting seeds and legumes in mason jars for sprouts. I use them for all kinds of things. Nothing wrong with being frugal.
As a Southern kid one of the budget meals we were served at school was Brunswick Stew. Leftover smoked pork butt with leftover bbq chicken, onion, shoepeg corn, tomato, bbq sauce. I've seen versions that added lima beans and potatoes, but that is not the way we had it in Georgia. Thanks for the shout out to Memphis BBQ Spaghetti.
I'm glad you gave Mrs. Wolfepit an honourable mention. As I was watching the video I was thinking " this Wolfepit dude has beautifully manicured nails".
Mexicans on a budget use KNORR brand Chicken Tomato Bullion powder as a base for whatever foods require cooking with liquids as their base. Stewed, braised, Spanish Rice, Enchilada sauce etc.
Cut it to cubes, make a basic pörkölt from it (meat, onions, paprika, salt and pepper) with a good amount of water (like you are making a stew) and the fun begins. If you add more water to it, you can make different types of soups (bean soup, gulyás, babgulyás, potato soup, etc), or if you want keep it as stew, you can put it on rice, pasta, french fries (or cut your potatoes in cubes and you are making Brassói, if you add peas, you did one of version of that), or for simplicity, eat with bread. Also, you can add some sauerkraut (wash it at least 4 times out the cabbage) and cook it with your pörkölt/stew, and you also receive a different meal. Or stuff some crepes with it, and fry it to make Hortobágyi palacsinta. Or do same casseroles dishes (different veggies + rice). It is really universal base to make your meat to pörkölt in Hungarian cuisine, as lot of different types of meal requires it.
Money saver hint: I have a vacuum sealer and used appropriately, it can save you a LOT of money. No spoiled food = money saved. No freezer burned food = money saved. I wrap portions in plastic wrap and then seal in bags. I can put more than one portion in larger bags. Then refrigerate or freeze. I put cheese in the fridge that lasts for months in a vacuum bag...taking out a portion. then resealing. I also do this with lunch meat. I wrap steaks, hamburger, pork chops in plastic wrap, freeze, then seal in a bag. Currently have bags with 4-6 pieces of meat each in my freezer. Take one piece out to defrost, then reseal the bag. When the bag is empty, but still big enough to use again, I wash it and store it for future use.
Ok, Mr. Wolfpit.... I've made all those things, they are delicious. The one new thing for me was the pork spaghetti, now I absolutely have to try that. When you were cooking it up I could almost smell it. 🍝🐽🐽🐽🐽
I love your budget meals!! I'm amazed at how many do not know how to cook budget meals but always direct people to your channel! I have 8 kids so i am pretty good at budget meals but you always have such a great variety!!
Duck sauce and a slow oven makes a yummy roast too. A really big one you can do at 270 overnight in the oven or in your crockpot. Yours looks yummy and the use of the roast, some can be sliced and used as a roast, the remaining amount you want for pulled pork type meat can then be put in a crockpot. The best of both worlds. Make sure you make gravy with the drippings to go on your roast pork dinner with mashed potatoes of course.
I enjoy watching these budget meal recipes. I would like to see you expand it to include making two-serving budget meals. That would add older folk who also often are facing budget crunch. Thank you WolfePit.
I take the bone, leftover fat and any drippings from the bottom of the pan, put in the crockpot overnight on low. The next day let it cool off place the juice in a bowl and put in the refrigerator. The fat will come to the top, scrape it off and place it in a small pan. The juice should be like a jelly, I make pork noodles or pork stroganoff with the juice. Take the fat you saved cook it on the stove over low heat, it will pop all the water out and render the fat, place it in small containers when cooled and use as the fat for making biscuits. I use the meat for homemade rice a roni type meals, burrito's, pork and gravy over mashed potatoes, I try to save a cup or two to pour over baked potatoes, pork fried rice. Baking potatoes are on sale this week at Kroger, so it's baked potatoes for dinner with different toppings pulled out of the freezer this week. The potatoes are 2.99 for 8 pound bag, with all the little hand fulls of this and that in the freezer it should be a good budget meals. Thanks for the video, I need this right how.
I LOVE that you put coleslaw on the pulled pork sandwich! I'm don't budget very well, so I get KFC slaw because I love the flavor! Thank you for another great video!
This is great. Yes you should make more videos like this. I've been a cook in restaurants all my life and these things are something I would do. And some of the dishes are very versatile. I would switch out the black beans in the burrito for pinto beans cuz black beans aren't something l like. You can do many other things with some of these dishes to stretch them even further. I say this because I had 6 kids and learned how to do just that a long time ago. Peace 🕊️
Thanks for that suggestion, I never would have thought to put apples on pizza but I put apple with pork all the time. If you have a rice cooker, a favourite quick, cheap and easy meal of ours is two "cups" of rice with the appropriate amount of water, then throw in whatever veggies you have, frozen or cleaning out the fridge... half a bag of frozen peas, carrots, green beans and corn is our standard... then when the rice cooker goes "poink", stir in whatever meat you've got, and if you add a can of cream of whatever soup, even better.
Sup Larry, cinnamon sugar is a good thing in a pork rub, especially for oven. Whats "unwanted" fat?😂🤣. We did a whole hog once a year for years, family cookout, never found it unwanted fat🤤 lol. We always had a taco bar set up, BBQ pulled pork section, ect.. bags and bags of meat to seal for while, oh if have pasta sauce saved add cinnamon, chili's ect.. and Cincinnati chili over spaghetti too. Stir Fry's.. great job, tyvm tc
So years back I bought an injection needle (it was like $4 ish dollars) for frying turkeys, but since then I have done that to all types of meat. About a year ago I blended a small can of jalapenos (La Costeña sliced has the peppers and carrots), melted butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, powdered ginger, and smoked paprika and injected a pork butt about the same size as the one you have there (the ginger and paprika were kind of expensive and you don't really need them). I rubbed the outside in the same mixture too. I slow cooked it for hours until it was almost done then I threw it on the grill over charcoal and blackjack oak wood chips. When it came off after about an hour I had a nice crust outside I pulled it apart after it settled and took it to work the next day for a co-workers retirement party for tacos. Not to toot my own horn but there was none left and I kept getting harassed by people asking if there was more from other departments so much I made a sign the said "No more meat left, don't ask" lol.
Very good demonstration, those all look fantastic. I'd say be on the lookout for pork belly on sale as well. Might need a couple of different preparations, but from one good slab you can make a variety of very different dishes; Carbonara, Babi Panggang or Char Siu, bake it or smoke it on the grill and put it in a frittata or in a split pea soup or have it with eggs for breakfast.
I just got one of these! Couldn’t believe how cheap it was. I wish I’d have seen this before cuz we got the McCormick pulled pork packet and that costs almost as much as the entire pork roast. It’s $3 then you add ketchup, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. It’s so yummy though. It’s cooked in the crockpot.
Here in Wa. State, it's expensive too! I grew up in San Diego so was used to cheap cilantro and parsley. It doesnt do well up here though, so we have to import it from Mexico. Sadly, it makes me rethink some of my meal plans, because I LOVE cilantro!
Save-A-Lot used to have cheap cilantro, tomatillos, ginger, jalapeño peppers… maybe they still do but all nearby stores have closed and I’m not driving thirty miles.
I am not as creative, but you can get a box of hamburger helper, and use pork, chicken, you do not have to use hamburger. A quick way to switch it up. Also can throw it in with ramen noodles (no seasoning pack). Make a box of stuffing and add the protein to that. Even instant mashed potatoes.
Another pizza crust alternative is flat bread. I like to use Greek pita, but almost any flat bread will do. Even flour tortillas can work, though you might want to use two layers ( a little cheese between layers will stick them together nicely).
I love it when my local supermarket has pork "butt" or "shoulder" (same thing) on sale. It's a great opportunity to get a lot of protein for tacos, burritos, or added to rice or ramen. The main problem for me is I'm single so it's a lot of meat (which is the main reason I only buy it when on sale). On the other hand my two dogs love it when I cook something like pork shoulder since they get whatever I can't eat. I find that a lower temperature (I usually use 280 degrees) and a longer cooking time (usually 4 to 6 hours) produces a better result. The "low and slow" method produces a more tender result from a cut of meat that is otherwise quite tough. I also usually use a dutch oven to retain moisture and it works even if I use the stove rather than the oven. I normally add some aromatics like yellow onion, garlic, and peppers.
I can often eat a lot, but I have been to where I had to use $20 to spread out food for a week for a family. So I appreciate these kinds of ideas. Casseroles, pork, chicken and rice has fueled my meals more often than not. But that is not even due to budget constraints, they are just yummy
Found a spiral cut cooked ham at HEB for $10 and after eating it, put the remaining bone and meat/gristle into a pressure cooker for an hour and 15 minutes to create a rich broth which then was the base for a BIG pot of soup by adding frozen veggies and seasoning. Modern pressure cookers are amazing for saving money and using energy efficiently (heck, if you have one that doesn't require electricity, you can use them during power outages)
Use the bone to make split pea soup or ham broth to use when make rice, etc.. Also, I always put my vegetable ends (especially the bottom of the celery) in the freezer to boil with the bone to make the broth.
Pork shoulder and pork loin are cheat codes for budget meals. It cost some up front but if you can swing a meat grinder you can make great ground meat with them too. Use in place of whatever you use ground beef or turkey in or even try your hand and some sausage.
Pork loin can be almost too lean and even a bit insipid, but with a little seasoning and maybe some leftover bacon fat… My late Dad went through periods of thriftiness back when 99-cent/lb. pork loin was very common (as in about half the time), so I sort of got sick of it. He knew how to use spices but usually didn’t make the effort. Slices of unadorned slightly overcooked roast pork loin get… tiring.
@@markiangooley agree seasoning makes a difference as does sauce and probably bigger difference is not over cooking it. People freak out about doneness in pork.
I’m so upset I forgot about this gem of a channel when I was living alone and unable to feed myself. Went days without eating. These meals would have had my mouth watering and atleast fed better than I was
2:37 Your Bell Biv DeVoe reference was not lost on me LOL To add: if you have cold leftover rice, an egg, green onion, frozen pea/carrot mix, and soy sauce you can make a basic pork and egg fried rice. Great video. Thanks for helping us get through it.
Plus you still have your bone. It has marrow even if it doesn't have meat left on it. Braise it. Boil it. Make stock for soup or stew or just bone broth a nourishing drink.
I save bones in the freezer until I have a nice collection and make bone broth. Broil them, toss them in a pressure cooker for 6 hours on high then simmer it down. Portion them into muffin tins and freeze. Makes a nice cup of "tea" or add to ramen.
I love to get rotisserie chickens and see how many meals I can make with one. For four people, I can do chicken with a baked potato and a frozen vegetable, chicken salad sandwiches the next night, and chicken soup the third with the leftover meat and homemade stock from the carcass.
I roast a big piece of pork shoulder with nothing on it other than slits in the skin with a razor blade and a sprinkle of salt and rosemary, slow roast for about 5 hours until it falls apart and the crackling is crispy. That way, you get all the crackling, and everyone can add whatever sauces, seasoning and flavouring they want to themselves. A good way to make budget meals is to cook big Yorkshire puddings that match the size of the plate ,(very cheap and easy to make) then put a small amount of the pork in, some mash potatoes and carrots and peas, all very cheap and then buy a jar of gravy granules, and also use any if the juice and drippings from the meat, and some of the water from the veggies, and make a nice thick gravy from it. And it will fill bellies up. Believe me, I know. About 15 years ago both I and my wife ended up out of work at the same time, so we were basically living up shit street. For over a year aswell. It was horrible and sometimes we had about £3 (At the time around $5-$'6b,) to feed a family of two adults and two children. But we did it. There was a shop called Netto bear us ,(think Aldi, very good quality but cheaper) and we could get cheap veggies, meat, desserts etc from there, as long as we were creative with the ingredients we could afford to buy. One thing I wouldn't agree with you about is when you say it's better to have a small meal in your belly than nothing at all. It isn't, not when you have nothing, because you can quite happily miss out on a few meals if you ignore the stomach growling at you, but if you are ravenous and then you have a small amount to eat, it doesn't satisfy your hunger so it can make it worse. What you have to do is bulk that meal out with anything you can to make it go further, such as anything you cut off the vegetables, put it in a pan of water, add salt pepper, ketchup even, any flavourings you have in the cupboard, and thicken with a spoon of flour, then you have a soup everyone can have as a starter before the main meal. That's what we did. And also when I made the Yorkshire puddings, what was left of the ingredients for that (flour,n milk and eggs) I took a second bowl added the remaining flour egg and milk, then added sugar and margarine, then baked it and we had cake for after dinner. And I know it was basically the same ingredients we were already eating but it worked to feel full and satisfied. I used all sorts of tricks to make other cheap meals and other food to eat. I've used leftover mash potato or rice as the starch component in homemade cakes, pancakes, bread, tortillas and other things just to use up what we had and not to waste anything. When you are skint and have no money every item if food is precious. I'm lucky because after a year we both gained employment and since then we've been good. I'm by no means a rich man, but I've made sure that if anything like that occurs again, we will be ok. I've got money put away, sticks of long life food put away, and I made sure I've got lots of fruit trees growing in the garden, and a big collection of vegetable seeds if I need them. One tip I can recommend to anyone, if you have the smallest but if dirt in your yard, or plant pots, planters etc if even go buy a growbag from a garden centre, then every time you ever have onions, once you cut the root base off, plant it. You will get new onions. Also pop a few garlic cloves in and u will have bunches of garlic growing too. And sprinkle a few different seeds in aswell and you have a nice little herb garden going. And the biggest thing you need when you have no money are herbs, spices and seasoning, because if you have that, you have flavour. Then you can flavour any cheap crap you have to buy to make it taste nicer.
While vacuum seal bags are expensive, they save money by preventing food waste and will extend food storage life by quite a bit which is why I live them
$1/lb. pork shoulder or pork picnic bone-in aren’t as common as they used to be, but they happen here occasionally. (Remember that time maybe 15 or more years ago when for a few months, ten-pound bags of chicken leg quarters were sometimes only a dollar or two?) Definitely worth taking advantage of! Nowadays i sous vide the pork just hot enough for just long enough… I can never remember the numbers but they’re easily looked up.
We had a pizza in Bimini Bahamas. Watched the lady, Edith, make the dough. She used flour, beer (lager) sugar and something white .. maybe more flour?? Anyways. Crust was unbelievably good. Maybe something to look into and uncover how to make beer pizza crust for the rest of us. Oh, that rhymes.
substitute some nice Italian tomatoes for the BBQ sauce in the spaghetti and you'll have something much tastier and much healthier; real Italian pasta usually involves pork!
Nutmeg, I have German ancestors, and a bit of Nutmeg on pork is AMAZING, not too much,because Nutmeg has a very strong flavor profile, a little is alot
I make 2meals out of a pound of hamburger chili and spaghetti tacos ect which makes multiple servings each enjoy the budget ideas inflation is a killer
We never see $.99/lb for Boston Butt since before Covid, usually it's around $2.49-2.99/lb We actually get Pork Loin cheaper on sale at $1.99/lb, We might see Chicken Drumsticks and Thighs (bone-in) for $.99/lb though.
Love some boston butt! I make 1 almost weekly and use it for all kinds of meals as well. Good gideo sir! Try steaming a pork shoulder with some ginger...amazing

"One taco is better than no taco!" - Truer words have never been spoken.
thank you mr wolf pitt, I dont have a family to feed but i am a student. I like to use your recipes to make cheap things i can freeze in bulk and reheat when i have no money.
Learn to make homemade bread
Even make a sour dough starter and no need to buy yeast
I'm sick as a dog right now and I wanted you to know that your interesting and calming content is helping distract me from the fever and the pain. So thank you 😊
Feel better!
Have my first cold of the winter season. This sucks.
So strange, I'm suddenly sick too, which is extremely rare. Taking comfort in binge watching Wolfe Pit too. At least I get to use my sick time 😅!
I hope all of you are feeling better
I love what this channel has evolved into while still retaining the same feel as the older videos we all fell in love with. This is how you shift focus while still remaining on brand. Well done wolfepitt!
For the millions of us on a "fixed budget" THANK YOU
Your daughters are lucky to have you. Check out sprouting seeds and legumes in mason jars for sprouts. I use them for all kinds of things. Nothing wrong with being frugal.
Wonderful ! You are a great dad !
Wish I had a dad like this❤

A staple for my family is pressure canned pork shoulder shredded with taco seasoning and served over rice. It’s easy and tastes great.
"So, we shanked our pork shoulder like a prison snitch with our thermometer."
That had me ROLLING!

Sounds good

American of Hungarian decent and I approve of this message. My great grandmother made the best pörkölt and I have her handwritten recipe.

Hi Larry, I hope that you're doing well. This is my favorite thing that you do. It's so good to see what we can do to make money stretch.
One of my fave of your videos: what to do with pork butt. I love it when you give it crust for flavor!
I take the bone, leftover fat and any drippings from the bottom of the pan, put in the crockpot overnight on low. The next day let it cool off place the juice in a bowl and put in the refrigerator. The fat will come to the top, scrape it off and place it in a small pan. The juice should be like a jelly, I make pork noodles or pork stroganoff with the juice.

Excellent cooking instruction for those folks who "don't cook"!
Meat thermometer tip : "Make sure you do not hit the bone. Just the meat!"
Post Script - Scooter outta keep his yap shut! 😆
One of my favorite ways to use leftover pulled pork is to add bbq sauce to it and put it on top of a baked potato and cover it with cheese! Delicious!
Best thing I ever made with leftover Smoked Pulled pork was Tamales!! 😮 Love me some Smoked Swine!
Very good demonstration, those all look fantastic. I'd say be on the lookout for pork belly on sale as well.

Cilantro is expensive where you are! I can get a bunch for $.38. Crazy how prices vary across the country.

I use liquid smoke and smoked paprika to get a smoke flavor
Love the Food Wishes-esque statement on the tacos.
Oh my gosh y'all that looks delish, and no it's not burnt its perfect, TY for another great video.

Use the bone to make split pea soup or ham broth to use when make rice, etc.. Also, I always put my vegetable ends (especially the bottom of the celery) in the freezer to boil with the bone to make the broth.
Then, as a door stop.
Pork shoulder is so delicious, I use it for making sausage and pork pot pies are the bomb!
That bark is delicious! That's the part I hide from everybody. That looks great!
Your food is great recipes always hit! I only cook for one or two usually mix your recipes up just a little and brother what a wonderful channel ty!

My late Dad went through periods of thriftiness back when 99-cent/lb. pork loin was very common (as in about half the time), so I sort of got sick of it. He knew how to use spices but usually didn’t make the effort. Slices of unadorned slightly overcooked roast pork loin get… tiring.
@@markiangooley agree seasoning makes a difference as does sauce and probably bigger difference is not over cooking it. People freak out about doneness in pork.
I’m so upset I forgot about this gem of a channel when I was living alone and unable to feed myself. Went days without eating. These meals would have had my mouth watering and atleast fed better than I was
Baked Giant Enchilada sauce Smothered Pork and refried beans burrito using flour tortillas.

2:37 Your Bell Biv DeVoe reference was not lost on me LOL
To add: if you have cold leftover rice, an egg, green onion, frozen pea/carrot mix, and soy sauce you can make a basic pork and egg fried rice. Great video. Thanks for helping us get through it.
Smack it up flip it rub it down oh nooooooooo 😂❤

I swear I'm not being facetious but really do appreciate you including the math on these videos. All your videos are extremely helpful. Thanks 😊
I like Budget Friendly Meals like you have shown today! Thank you...🇺🇸 👍☕
Pork Ala King made with a yellow mustard cream sauce over rice.
Just wanted to wish you Merry Christmas and say I view from Amherst Nova Scotia.❤
I always go with the loaded BBQ Potato for the cheapest option. But I grew up around the Memphis area and spaghetti warehouse made that option famous.
Sounds great!
Pork on pizza is the jam.
Pretty sure it’s a topping
@@drinkyjac3155you're a topping😮
Love the video Wolf Pit, keep up the awesome work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The street tacos were legit!!
The best part about the pork is the skin that's what you call crunch and delicious wish I could eat pork nice ideas.🌍👍🌍💯🌍🍀🌍😘🌍🎄🌍
Plus you still have your bone. It has marrow even if it doesn't have meat left on it. Braise it. Boil it. Make stock for soup or stew or just bone broth a nourishing drink.
I save bones in the freezer until I have a nice collection and make bone broth. Broil them, toss them in a pressure cooker for 6 hours on high then simmer it down. Portion them into muffin tins and freeze. Makes a nice cup of "tea" or add to ramen.
The work you do on these videos is amazing and very well appreciated, thank you Mr. & Mrs. WolfePit 🙂
Thank you too!
I love to get rotisserie chickens and see how many meals I can make with one. For four people, I can do chicken with a baked potato and a frozen vegetable, chicken salad sandwiches the next night, and chicken soup the third with the leftover meat and homemade stock from the carcass.
Mr. Wolfe Pit gonna eat the whole pork if not supervised!
good ideas for Budget food if inflation keeps going like it is we all may have to be eating on a budget soon
I had some last night and it was delicious!
I roast a big piece of pork shoulder with nothing on it other than slits in the skin with a razor blade and a sprinkle of salt and rosemary, slow roast for about 5 hours until it falls apart and the crackling is crispy. That way, you get all the crackling, and everyone can add whatever sauces, seasoning and flavouring they want to themselves. A good way to make budget meals is to cook big Yorkshire puddings that match the size of the plate ,(very cheap and easy to make) then put a small amount of the pork in, some mash potatoes and carrots and peas, all very cheap and then buy a jar of gravy granules, and also use any if the juice and drippings from the meat, and some of the water from the veggies, and make a nice thick gravy from it. And it will fill bellies up. Believe me, I know. About 15 years ago both I and my wife ended up out of work at the same time, so we were basically living up shit street. For over a year aswell. It was horrible and sometimes we had about £3
(At the time around $5-$'6b,) to feed a family of two adults and two children. But we did it. There was a shop called Netto bear us ,(think Aldi, very good quality but cheaper) and we could get cheap veggies, meat, desserts etc from there, as long as we were creative with the ingredients we could afford to buy. One thing I wouldn't agree with you about is when you say it's better to have a small meal in your belly than nothing at all. It isn't, not when you have nothing, because you can quite happily miss out on a few meals if you ignore the stomach growling at you, but if you are ravenous and then you have a small amount to eat, it doesn't satisfy your hunger so it can make it worse. What you have to do is bulk that meal out with anything you can to make it go further, such as anything you cut off the vegetables, put it in a pan of water, add salt pepper, ketchup even, any flavourings you have in the cupboard, and thicken with a spoon of flour, then you have a soup everyone can have as a starter before the main meal. That's what we did. And also when I made the Yorkshire puddings, what was left of the ingredients for that (flour,n milk and eggs) I took a second bowl added the remaining flour egg and milk, then added sugar and margarine, then baked it and we had cake for after dinner. And I know it was basically the same ingredients we were already eating but it worked to feel full and satisfied. I used all sorts of tricks to make other cheap meals and other food to eat. I've used leftover mash potato or rice as the starch component in homemade cakes, pancakes, bread, tortillas and other things just to use up what we had and not to waste anything. When you are skint and have no money every item if food is precious. I'm lucky because after a year we both gained employment and since then we've been good. I'm by no means a rich man, but I've made sure that if anything like that occurs again, we will be ok. I've got money put away, sticks of long life food put away, and I made sure I've got lots of fruit trees growing in the garden, and a big collection of vegetable seeds if I need them.
One tip I can recommend to anyone, if you have the smallest but if dirt in your yard, or plant pots, planters etc if even go buy a growbag from a garden centre, then every time you ever have onions, once you cut the root base off, plant it. You will get new onions. Also pop a few garlic cloves in and u will have bunches of garlic growing too. And sprinkle a few different seeds in aswell and you have a nice little herb garden going. And the biggest thing you need when you have no money are herbs, spices and seasoning, because if you have that, you have flavour. Then you can flavour any cheap crap you have to buy to make it taste nicer.
Shanked that shoulder like a prison snitch im going to use that 😂
Can't believe it came out so tender. Nice
I cook lots of pork shoulder and sell them. Anyone that say's that butt is burnt doesn't have a clue😂
I'd be deep frying that Burrito, yum! Thanks for the vid, good ideas for pork shoulder.
Hope you enjoy
I been buying my meats and vegetables at aldies and they have really really nice deals. 6 pack of chicken breast only 9-10 dollars
While vacuum seal bags are expensive, they save money by preventing food waste and will extend food storage life by quite a bit which is why I live them
Pulled pork pizza sounds so good!
Hey, what happened to that Cajun beans and rice with sausage? I was gonna make it today 😢
Love the ideas!!’
Thanks for a great roast! This is a great idea!
Glad you liked it!!
$1/lb. pork shoulder or pork picnic bone-in aren’t as common as they used to be, but they happen here occasionally. (Remember that time maybe 15 or more years ago when for a few months, ten-pound bags of chicken leg quarters were sometimes only a dollar or two?) Definitely worth taking advantage of!
Nowadays i sous vide the pork just hot enough for just long enough… I can never remember the numbers but they’re easily looked up.
Chicken QUARTERS in ten-pound bags? Two quarters is almost ten bucks nowadays.
We had a pizza in Bimini Bahamas. Watched the lady, Edith, make the dough. She used flour, beer (lager) sugar and something white .. maybe more flour?? Anyways. Crust was unbelievably good. Maybe something to look into and uncover how to make beer pizza crust for the rest of us. Oh, that rhymes.
wait is this a reupload? I'm pretty sure I've seen this video before
substitute some nice Italian tomatoes for the BBQ sauce in the spaghetti and you'll have something much tastier and much healthier; real Italian pasta usually involves pork!
Nutmeg, I have German ancestors, and a bit of Nutmeg on pork is AMAZING, not too much,because Nutmeg has a very strong flavor profile, a little is alot
not only are these cheap meals, they all look delicious
I’m gonna cook me one of those this weekend.
Love your videos thanks ❤😊
1/2 pound of that pork with some chicken bullion, water, beans, hominy, and a can of tomatoes makes for a good soup.
You gotta have a pickle on a pulled pork sammich!
I make 2meals out of a pound of hamburger chili and spaghetti tacos ect which makes multiple servings each enjoy the budget ideas inflation is a killer
We never see $.99/lb for Boston Butt since before Covid, usually it's around $2.49-2.99/lb We actually get Pork Loin cheaper on sale at $1.99/lb, We might see Chicken Drumsticks and Thighs (bone-in) for $.99/lb though.
Pork fried rice or bbq pork pizza or sloppy pork sandwich or pork and noodles or pork pot pie so many good options with that pork butt.
Larry likes to pull his pork 😂
Love some boston butt! I make 1 almost weekly and use it for all kinds of meals as well. Good gideo sir!
Try steaming a pork shoulder with some ginger...amazing
Who is calling this "burnt"?? That bark looks great!
The ending comment 😂
