I'd purchased 2 .79/lb chickens this week for around $4.50 each. We had one last night (I mentioned it before), we had some for lunch today, I froze a whole meal's worth of shredded chicken, and I made 5 jars of chicken stock (in the crockpot overnight last night)! That was chicken #1!! :)
Karry handled dinner tonight with chicken #2. :) He simply put the chicken in the pan (after taking the insides out, etc.) and poured a bottle of the *free* Kraft bbq sauce I got last week & baked it in the oven. So $4.50 in chicken + free sauce. :) We had leftover white rice from last night, and leftover salad from 2 nights ago. WA LA! Dinner! :) I will freeze more meat, and we'll have more for lunch tomorrow, and I'll make more stock!
I figure, out of $9 worth of chicken, we'll get 8 meals (fresh=dinner 2 nights, lunch 2 days, frozen=2 dinners, stock=at least 2 nice pots full of soup), so that's $1.13 per meal (plus side dishes, but you know what I mean!). :)
Yahoooooo! :)
