Good Eating - Low Cost - If you see a bargain take advantage of it.

A Great Price on Pork Shoulder Is Always Good

When we are out grocery shopping I keep an eye open for bargains. Recently we were at Coles Supermarket, near our house.
We were just getting some milk and eggs, but I normally take a look at the meat section to see if there is something on sale.

There was. They had pork shoulder on sale for $6.50 a kg. 
Last week I bought some to make Pork Jambalaya, and paid $10.00 a kg.  A real bargain if you have a use for it.

And I Had a Use For It

It was cryovaced and had a use by date over 2 weeks away.

Pork shoulder makes a nice pulled pork.

Smoking it in your BBQ or smoker is the best, but if you don't have the time and want to take advantage of the sale; consider cooking it your slow cooker.  It does a surprisingly good pulled pork.
Put it on low before you go to work and when you get home you have the makings of a good meal.

Helen suggested cooking it with just a basic pork rub and not not putting a sauce on it.
Her idea was to portion it out into a few containers and have different meals with it. She figured we could add the appropriate sauce when we made the meal.
