#10 purchase a whole chicken I recently figured out. For $5.50 I buy a whole chicken and Mr. GG2 cuts it in half and food savers one half for the freezer so we get two meals for $5.50 instead of a small package of cut up chicken for $7-$8.
We do the same with a small fresh turkey when they are available. One half of a turkey gives us two to three dinners and a couple of lunches.
I bought a good sized London broil for $9.00 which we cut in half and had two tasty steak dinners for $4.50 each. I just bought another one yesterday so we’re taking half of it up to our rural compound to grill out on New Year’s Eve and half in the freezer for later.
I think The Chicken is God’s Most Useful Critter...EVER! :)
Depending upon where you live, those Rotisserie Chickens at Costo, Walmart, your local deli, etc. are usually a good deal, providing plenty of meals and then Chicken Stock, too.
I’m waiting for the price to go back down - they’re running $8 now at my Piggly Wiggly deli - NOT a great deal. ;)
