I’m gonna try that!I love those things, I crisp them up in my airfryer and pour Tomatillo Salsa Verde on them for a tart spicy sauce and sour cream on top of that.
totally addicted to them..

I always bake mine a use Herdes salsa verde, fresh avocado and I prefer plain yogurt to sour cream but there’s just not enough filling in these. Literally a few shreds of chicken.I’m gonna try that!
I do live in the North.....An hour and a half to the nearest store....two hours to Kamloops....that's if the road is passable due to snow. I can be snowed in for a week at times, and in spring the mud is so bad, I can lose my truck for a day."and that is the problem with living in, or near small interior towns. "
Try living in the north. My freezer was so large I left it when I sold out and my pantry had everything I needed to make whatever I wanted as, fast food was NOT an option.
I refute this notion.I hit Costco today and one of the items I bought was a 3.628 kilogram boneless centre pork loin and it cost just under $20.Yes I have to carve it up and then package it for the freezer but I figure it will yield me 14-16 nice boneless pork chops and a good sized pork roast.Last time I wanted to buy pork chops at Walmart $14 got me 8 pathetic porkchops that had a lot of fat and 25% of each one was bone.Another good example though I did not buy one today was the beef strip loins.....I saw one priced at $94 and it could have easily been carved into 14 thick steaks not to mention some trim that would yield 2-3 pounds of ground beef......go hit Safeway and price out a 10 ounce NY strip steak and you will be amazed at the price difference.I looked at Costco.
For a single or small family you have to remember you are giving them $60 straight profit before you buy anything at all. At a few cents or dollars here and there it could take months to break even, if you are not buying thousands of dollars of stuff.
Best for people who come into the city once a month to stock up or are buying large quantities of stuff. You also often have to buy gigantic quantities to get the savings, if you don't have the storage space it is not viable.
Mmmmmm...snouts!Sadly though I noticed that Costco has stopped selling the 3 pack of Hereford corned beef.....it was a good quality product produced in Brazil.It has been replaced by a 3 pack of SPAM.....epic fail IMO.

I do the same with full loins- a little time spent and you get cuts exactly the size you want.I refute this notion.I hit Costco today and one of the items I bought was a 3.628 kilogram boneless centre pork loin and it cost just under $20.Yes I have to carve it up and then package it for the freezer but I figure it will yield me 14-16 nice boneless pork chops and a good sized pork roast.Last time I wanted to buy pork chops at Walmart $14 got me 8 pathetic porkchops that had a lot of fat and 25% of each one was bone.Another good example though I did not buy one today was the beef strip loins.....I saw one priced at $94 and it could have easily been carved into 14 thick steaks not to mention some trim that would yield 2-3 pounds of ground beef......go hit Safeway and price out a 10 ounce NY strip steak and you will be amazed at the price difference.

A little insider info.....Safeway ages their beef 16 to 28 days in a cooler, using natural enzymes to age the beef at 2 to 3 degrees.I do the same with full loins- a little time spent and you get cuts exactly the size you want.
However, I find that waiting for sale-price at Safeway is typically a better price than Costco.
But both options are excellent for those willing to do a little work.
I am always surprised when a member here asks to buy my beef.I buy most of my meat at Choices. Once I switched to grass-fed beef, I never went back. I used to go to the Farmers Markets but just don’t have the time anymore. Pork belly is also one of the staples in my keto diet. I live close to a T&T so I often buy it there.
