This week I found a great buy on a sirloin pork roast that I was able to cut in half. Freeze one half, stuffing and roast the other half. By doing this you can lower your weekly food costs. The frozen tilapia was on special as a single serving portion. The vegetable soup is made with a can of whole tomatoes, a head of cabbage, onions and potatoes that you should have in the pantry. Add any frozen vegetables that you have on hand to enhance the flavor. If you find a good buy on a beef bone add that in as well. This menu is a guide on how to maintain a slim budget and look for specials as you are shopping. It might not be tilapia on special but you will find some nice piece of fish on sale.
