We have been stretching our grocery budget by buying large pieces of meat like pork butt, brisket or whole chickens and cooking them over the weekend.

We use our vacuum sealer to package the cooked meat into 1 pound packages to make easy dinners throughout the week. The smoked pork butt was a great flavor combination with the Mongolian sauce and we had this complete meal on the table in under 30 minutes.
