I started this blog, because the gals at work keep asking (why on earth would you need so many boxes of (fill in the blank.) Well, on this blog, I will share with you what we use the 17 boxes of pasta, the 22 boxes of cereal, or the 10 bottles of bbq sauce we use... I will also explain how I am getting all of this for almost next to nothing.
A friend at work was asking me how to "Extreme Coupon" and I had told her that she has to sort of change what she eats... Well that's true. You wont find coupons on things you eat every day, but with a few minor changes, you can eat what you coupon..
Example #1
lately, I have been finding great deals on bbq sauce. I mean, REALLY good deals. like a bottle for .25 cents. I have a few coupons, so I buy as many 5 at a time. WHAT?!? 5 bbq sauces? Well.... until we actually HAD the extra bbq sauce, we had never made pulled pork sandwiches.... So, I got the recipe from a friend, and its something we REALLY look forward to having. ( you can also do this with chicken)
so.. here is the recipie..
1lb pork (i get the stuff at costco that looks like a giant worm. its about $7 for a big piece that make 3 or 4 nights worth of dinner)
1 WHOLE BOTTLE bbq sauce (ah, see why we need so much now?)
1 bottle of bbq sauce full of water
a crockpot or you could put it into a big pot on the stove. Just keep an eye on it
an onion if you want.
a few hours
buns
i put the pork, bbq sauce, and fill up the same bottle with water (to get all the stuff off the sides and to add water to thin it down a bit) into a big crockpot. you can add onion if you would like. do this in the morning, and cook on Low/medium ALL day.
at dinner time, the pork will be tender and fall off the bone. you can shred it, serve it on buns. sometime we add a slice of cheese
Voila! something we wouldnt have ever eaten before, but since i get so much bbq sauce, its a weekly staple now!
