Bought a whole chicken for $6.49 last week and stretched it into 4 meals
I used to just buy chicken breasts on sale for like $4 a pound, but last week the store had whole chickens for $0.79 a pound. So I grabbed one for $6.49 and roasted it on Sunday. That gave us dinner that night, then I used the leftovers for chicken salad sandwiches on Monday, threw the bones in the pot for broth and made soup on Tuesday, and used the last bits in a stir fry on Wednesday. My wife was skeptical but now shes asking when we can do it again. Four meals from one bird for six and a half bucks, that math works for me. Has anyone else found a big difference switching from boneless cuts to whole birds?
