How to stretch a roast

1. Buy a roast (pork or beef) on an incredibly good sale (I bought a 7.5 pound roast for 99 cents/pound not too long ago).
2. For dinner A, put it in the crock pot on low until it's cooked through but not falling apart, and eat slices of roast with your favorite sides. Then leave the remaining roast in the crockpot on low until it is falling apart, and shred. Put in fridge to keep for the rest of the week (or freeze part of it). (We had cheesy potatoes, because the dairy thing got lost by the wayside a bit ago, though we are working to get back to it, and frozen peas. Sides cost: $1.)
3. Let your husband make sandwiches out of some of the leftovers, but let him know you have plans for the rest (that last part is key in my house). He had two lunches of leftover pork roast sandwiches. Him loves pork. (he used shredded cabbage and mayo and bbq sauce on his sandwiches. approximate cost: 50 cents)
4. Dinner B, heat up some of the roast with BBQ sauce. Add some coleslaw and have BBQ pork sandwiches. This day, also slow cook one pound of dried beans in the crock pot on low heat all day. Freeze half for another time. (approximate cost for sandwiches: 75 cents)
5. Let your husband take more sandwiches to work, but remind him you want another dinner out of the roast. (50 cents)
6. For dinner C, put the rest of the roast in a pan with some fajita seasoning. Dice an onion and cook it in a separate pan in a little olive oil, then toss in the beans and 1/3 c salsa. Serve with cheese, sliced avocado, sliced tomato, and lettuce in warm tortillas. (about $3.50)
7. Husband gets another lunch out of the very last of this roast tomorrow. (50 cents)

When I make Kahlua pork, it doesn't last this long unless it's HUGE, but this roast made 3 lunches and 3 dinners. For about $14.25. FABULOUS.
