I make this meal quite a bit, actually very similar to the way you do as well. Yeah, I find that it's a pretty cheap meal to make as long as you get a good deal on pork. I pick up pork shoulder en masse at Costco and then freeze individual portions of 3-4 slices. That way I can have chili verde whenever I want! Some ppl don't like the "smell" of the pork but it doesn't bother me a bit...<br/><br/>also good to see you started doing a breakdown of price. I've been doing that for cheap eats. It's pretty tough actually to figure out how much a tablespoon of mayo is for example. But yeah, i think more food blogs should focus on the bottom line this way! hey that is so cool that you posted about Chili Verde!

I make a point of stocking up when I find things on sale, which helps, because once you've got enough backlog you can just concentrate on buying what's on sale every week. The only things I wind up having to pay full price for usually are fresh fruits, veggies, dairy and meats. I try to buy those items only on sale, but can't always do that.
