Pork Roast: $2.49

(Regular retail $5.99. Used $1.50 coupon when on sale for $3.99)

Carrots: .25

(Regular retail $1.79. Used .50/2 when on sale for $1, which doubled. Received $1 catalina coupon for next order when I bought 4.)

Sweet Potatoes: .20

(Regular retail $1.99. Meijer had these on a price drop for $1 for months, with plenty of .40 coupons for them that doubled.)

Biscuits: .11

(Regular retail $1.79. On sale, .99, minus .30 coupon = .70. Received $4 back for purchasing 6.)

Cookies: .45

(Regular retail: $2.79. On sale at Kroger this week for $2, $1 manufacturer’s coupon, .55 eCoupon from Shortcuts.com.)

Not a bad meal for less than $4. This will cook faster than I make it through McDonald’s drive thru!
