That is a great price!

Those thin "chops" are nice pounded out and breaded for a fake veal parm or schnitzel type thing!

I picked up a whole boneless pork loin (natural - NOT marinated or flavored in any way) on sale @ $1.49/lb total weight 9.78 lb, total cost $14.57. I broke it down into 10 meals (4 servings each). I didn't weigh each package but I got -
1 package of cubes
1 package of 4 chops w/pocket for stuffing
8 packages of 4 chops each (thin chops)

It roughly breaks down to .36 a serving for boneless pork loin. Add starch, veggie and/or salad and we are talking around $2.00 (+/-) a meal (per person/serving). I think thats a pretty good deal.

I do exactly the same and vacuum seal the meat. I always end up with a pack of "cubes" that I use for stir fry.

I do this when I see the loin for under $2 per pound. Beats the heck out of $5 per pound for already cut, boneless chops!
