I think it is great how you have so many ideas and use coupons and other ideas. Money is tight right now for everyone, I know, I am just trying to learn some ideas to at least help my family. I have never used coupons and dont really know all the tricks of the trade or how it works. I am currently trying some crafts that I love and try to sell them for extra cash but it is very difficult. If you could give me some insight on how you do it with everything I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! Hi, I just found your blog and I think you are remarkable!

For instance, when we make a roast, we save some of the juice (before it becomes gravy) and put it aside. The next night, we have beef sandwiches au jus with the rest of the beef and the broth...very yummy and it keeps things easy and new! We try to get more than one meal out of a large meal as well.

I've never attempted a pork roast in the crock pot, but after reading everyone's recipes on the crock pot post (and now this one), I've GOT to try it! Thanks for the post!

I wish my family would eat pork. It is one of my favorite meals from childhood. I will have to try this. Do you think this would freeze well? Maybe I could freeze it in individual portions for lunch. Off to bookmark this recipe! Erin, thank you for sharing! Yummy! I wish my family would eat pork. It is one of my favorite meals from childhood. I will have to try this.

I made it minus the onions b/c DH hates & used a different side dish because of what we had on hand. My husband, who is VERY picky, said this is the BEST crockpot recipe I've ever made! YAY! Oh and I didn't peel the apples. Too lazy and you couldn't even tell the difference! The kids enjoyed this one too! It has just the right amount of sweetness in it!!! Erin Rocks!

Often, it is even less than $5, plus there are leftovers for the next day's lunch for all of us! We grow a lot of our own groceries. Today, I put up 8 pints of chicken soup. We raised the chicken (a spare rooster with an attitude - not free, but mine mostly free range, so probably about $2 worth of feed) as well as the potatoes, carrots, onions and thyme. The only thing in the jars that wasn't home grown was the celery (20cents) salt and pepper. Not bad for 8 jars of soup!
