So it was kind of fun tonight, to decide I wanted one of their roasted chickens for dinners this weekend. I had a 70 cents off coupon. That chicken makes 4 meals for me. And when I got it home, I immediately portioned it out into those four meals, and took the meat off the carcass. Once that was done? I tossed it into a pot of filtered water...
I've been saving the ends of celery, carrots, peelings from those carrots and any odd veggie leftover I could find in freezer boxes. I had three of them (and only used two for this), but I tossed them in with the carcass, added in some spices, and ended up with the chicken stock you see up there in the photo. I've frozen it.
I wonder how many people actually throw out the bones without stewing them to smitherines?
:)
OH! And one more thing that Kroger has going for it? I earn points with every dollar I buy and those points translate into cents off per gallon of gas at their pumps. Their prices are competitive with the lowest gas chain in town, Sheetz. So for 100 points ($100) I get 10 cents per gallon off on a fill-up...and so on...
(I also save on gasoline running to other stores...dontcha know?)

With Kroger less than a mile from the house, we go most days to check for manager's markdowns (the orange tags). Just baked up 6 small loaves of the multi-grain bake it at home bread & stuck them in the freezer. Tonight's dinner is probably going to be the coconut crusted salmon we found yesterday along with an orange tagged side that's already in the pantry. {lol}
p.s. a small pressure cooker turns chicken, turkey & ham bones into stock that will set up like jello.
