save by cutting your own meat

Quite often my Smith's store will get whole pork loins on sale. I usually buy a few, and cut them up into usable portions and freeze them for later use. I can usually save over half by buying it whole and cutting it up myself.

Once you get the pork loin out of the board, cut it into peices that are useful for you and your family. I ended up cutting this porkloin into pork chops and a small roast.

All you have to do is take a sharp knife and carefully slice it. Sometimes I partially freeze the meat (about 1/2 hour) to make it easier to slice.

Once cut, wrap and freeze for later use. My whole family loves pork chops on the grill. The kids will request them quite often.

Try your hand at it. Pork loin is one of the easiest cuts to do. There are no bones etc. All you have to do is slice it like a loaf of bread. The savings are incredible. Around these parts, on a good day you will pay $3.79 a pound for pork loin chops. I bought these last porkloins for $1.79 a pound That is some real savings.
