Sales: Chicken & Eggs

(Picture source http://www.allposters.com/)

Chicken is on sale this week!!! We really like chicken at this house...is there anything one can't do with chicken?? Whole chickens are on sale for .69 cents a pound and leg quarters are .49 cents a pound...that's about as cheap as I can find any meat right now....around the holidays, turkey can be found around .49 cents a pound too and I would suggest if you have freezer room to get more than one. We have for the past few years that we've had our extra freezer....but anyway, I am going to stock up on chicken for the freezer today.....I'm not sure how much I'll get but I've had a little leftover money in the budget and this seems like a sensible purchase. Do you buy ahead when deals hit your local grocery? I think overall this saves me a ton of money throughout the year. Eggs are on sale too .69 cents a dozen and we use a lot of them here also....there are tons of dishes that use eggs and they are a good protein source, especially for large families. And if you bake a lot, you need them. Maybe I'll do an egg post one day of all the ways we use them! I would love to have my own chickens for the eggs.....I do not think I would butcher them myself, but the fresh eggs are SO good!! DH's Mom has a farm and used to bring us fresh eggs when we first married....they have since gotten older and don't have chickens anymore and boy do I miss those eggs. I'm not sure if we're allowed them here, I'll have to check zoning...but we do have room. Maybe one day!!

*Edit Back in: I got eight 5(ish) pounders for the freezer it was around $30...the sale is good all week so on Friday when I get new Grocery money in I'll try for 8 more or whatever I can squeeze out to stock the freezer with. I decided on just the whole chickens this time, but maybe Friday I'll get some leg quarters too! If you're new here...we are a family of 6...if you have less, you may not need or even want that much chicken around!!! LOL!
