My new topic is: ‘Eatin’ on the Cheap.’ When I come up with a meal that costs mere dollars, I will pass the ideas on to you all.

8 chicken drumsticks (Large! WHAT are they feeding these chickens?) $2.32! (5.75 with a $3 off sticker and my Senior Discount of .23)

Cole Slaw Mix - $2.08 Will only use half, will make my own dressing

Box of Stuffing - 97 cents

Frozen Corn (again, will only use 1/2 the bag) 97 cents

FREE BBQ Sauce from a Bob’s Bitchin’ BBQ Gift Card we received from the neighbors

A meal for about $5.00 with ‘Midnight Snack Leftovers’ for Beau. ;)

Sheet Pan BBQ Drumsticks recipe:

I’m not adding the minor cost in for spices for the rub on the drumsticks; I had everything on hand.

HOWEVER - The bones will be going into my ‘stock bag’ in the freezer for later use in making the next batch of chicken stock. :)
