Classic Pulled Pork for dinner tonight

I am making this recipe today to have for dinner.  I found it in the Living the Country Life magazine.  It sounds really yummy! I don't know if you would consider it a frugal meal unless you happen to purchase the meat on sale.

Classic Pulled Pork 

1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with jalapenos

1 can (16 ounces)tomato sauce

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

2/3 cup vinegar

2/3 cup ketchup

1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce

1 bone- in pork butt or shoulder roast (about 6 lbs)

12 hamburger buns

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees in medium size saucepan, combine tomatoes (undrained), tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and hot-pepper sauce.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.  Remove from heat. 

2. Trim pork of excess fat.  Place pork in a large cooking bag; brush with 1/2 cup of the ketchup mixture.  Seal foil bag tightly.

3. Place pork in bag in large shallow baking pan.  Bake at 375 degrees for 3 hours.  Remove from oven; carefully open bag.  Let stand about 30 minutes or until cool enough to handle.  Using forks or your hands, pull meat into shreds, discarding excess fat.  Place in large oven-safe serving pan.  Stir in remaining ketchup mixture.  Serve on buns.  Makes 12 servings.
