I snatched up this pork roast for just $1.25/lb! We will not eat all 4.5 lbs in one meal, so I’ll cook it in the slow cooker, each some tonight and then use the rest of the meat to make North Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwiches on Thursday, and another meal using shredded pork in the future.

    Hi Erin. Ditch that can of pork and beans and try my baked beans with a kick! Yum! 😉 Don’t know if they qualify for your $5 challenge… probably shouldn’t be considered a meal (although I eat them for a meal!) but I linked up anyway. Enjoy! Amy

    You asked for advice on the chicken wire thing. I don’t use chicken wire but i too live in the country setting and lots of pesky little critters. I was told to use fox urine, or coyote urine around my property area and that will repell all little critters away. It works!!!!! You can buy all over especially hunting goods stores very reasonible priced. Just offering my fyi.

    I can’t wait to try this! I’ve made your recipe for BBQ Pork Ribs in the crock pot several times. My family (and I) love it! Thanks for sharing these easy (and inexpensive) recipes.
