Each time that I meat shop, I figure out how many meals I can get from one meat purchase. For instance, when I buy a ham steak, I get three meals from it. First meal is fried ham and mashed potatoes. Second meal is ham and scalloped potatoes. Third meal is western (ham. egg and green pepper) sandwiches. Last week I bought a ham steak and made boiled ham dinner. Leftovers went into a soup pot with some barley to make two soup meals for us. At our local Save a Lot food store, I shop early on Monday morning and they usually have meat that didn't sell over the weekend marked down. Great way to save.....................
