"But for flexible home cooks who don't mind changing course on a dime, there's a lot of value in taking advantage of something you unexpectedly happen upon that's on super sale. I had planned on making some sort of pasta dish when I set out for my local grocery earlier this week, since there's so many things you can do with a box of spaghetti"
"Then, a red "sale" sticker caught my eye in the meat department and, being a thrifty shopper, I reconsidered. I don't eat a lot of meat in general, and when I do, it's almost always chicken (preferably thighs) or ground beef or pork. But there it was - a 1.15-pound pork tenderloin roast with a "$3 off" sign on it, bringing the price down to a very reasonable $5.99."
Planned shopping lists often save money, but adaptable shoppers can capitalize on unexpected discounts. A marked-down 1.15-pound pork tenderloin priced at $5.99 provided four servings for about $1.50 per person. Combining the roast with on-sale bell peppers produced pork tenderloin lettuce wraps that cook quickly—tenderloin roasts in about 30 minutes. Pork tenderloin is a lean cut from the backbone muscle and packs substantial protein. Pairing that protein with seasonal vegetables yields a relatively low-calorie, nutrient-rich meal that stretches a small grocery budget.
