I recently found pork loin on sale for $2.99/lb.
I bought a 1.62 pound roast. $4.84
My plan included pork fried rice so first off I started a batch of bean sprouts.
I used my crock pot to cook the roast, after I applied a herb rub.
That evening’s dinner menu:
Pork roast, apple sauce, lime chiffon salad, oven roasted potatoes and green beans.
I saved the juices from the crock pot to use later
I set aside a few slices in some BBQ sauce.
The next couple of days I had pork sandwiches for lunch
I froze my leftover roast until the bean sprouts were ready 
to make fried rice. After dinner I froze 5 portions of fried rice to eat as leftovers later. 
I used the last of my fried rice leftovers to make Oriental Ramen. 
I pulled the BBQ pork from the freezer to make my last meal, a BBQ pork sandwich
I feel good about getting 12 meals from my roast (and, for the most part, ingredients I already had in the pantry or the freezer)
I averaged 40 cents of roast per meal and it was all DELICIOUS!
