I found a great deal on boneless sirloin pork chops at Albertsons. Buy 1 get 2 FREE!

$13.25 for 3.32lb of meat....6 big chops. PLUS 2 more pkgs for free.  So I got about 10lbs of meat for $13.25  That'll last me about 3 weeks!

That puts me at $71.02, so I'm a bit over budget.  Hopefully some of this stuff will be on sale and I can keep it all under $70.  We'll see!!
