I have talked about canning stuff in the past. Well we found a deal on chicken breast at Krogers and bought a bunch. It was a $1 a pound for chicken breast with bone in. We picked up about sixty six pounds. That made 40 half pints of packed chicken. We also got 30 pints of chicken soup. Then we ended up with 30 half pints of chicken broth. It took three days to cook and can it all. The remaining half of the sixty six pounds was frozen after removing the bones. So we also have 22 chicken breast in the freezer now.
That works out to about 100 meals for about a $1.00 each. Yes I know you have to add some veges to the chicken meals but they come from the garden so they don't cost us much either. Also we will have to add noodles to the soup when we fix it. That makes for a lot of cheap meals.
This is why I keep telling people that they need to can. You get to eat what you like and it saves you a lot of money.
After we finished with the chicken the wife decided to make some beef stew and can that. We used six pounds of beef and two of the big frozen bags of veges. We ended up with 14 pints of beef stew. That worked out to be about $2.50 a pint. A pint of this stuff will feed the two of us, it has that much stuff in it. Served over toast or noodles and that is some good eating. You can't find what we made in the stores at any price. It has all the stuff that we like and is spiced to our taste.
Trust me on this, you need to try it. You all have a great day.
