Quick and Easy chicken tips
So yesterday, I told you about a fantastic Chicken Amandine recipe . I also told you I would tell you a few of my favorite chicken tips. Some will save you money, Some will save you time.
- Boil several pounds of chicken at one time and divide it up in to pound bags and then freeze them. (saves $)
- Cheat and find the rotisserie chickens from Kroger or Food Lion and get them right before they are thrown out and are discounted. Usually this is around 8 pm. (saves time and $)
- If you are really cheap, dumpster dive. (saves $)
- Find chicken in a can when it is on sale. The grocery game is a great way to do this. That was how I did my chicken the other night. (saves time and $)
Hope this helps. Do you have any other tips?
you know, I’ve found that some Kroger locations done mark them down – they’d rather toss them than give them away cheaper. Such a crock. BUT, I have been at another location that actually GAVE away what they had left (but it was REALLY LATE on the evening they needed to go…)
Also, about boiling and freezing the chicken – good idea, but at that point, (and maybe it’s just me right now!) I say forget saving $$, it’s all about saving the TIME!
Can’t say I get the third point – dumpster diving?
And I agree on the canned chicken – but it really depends on what you’re using it for… my family can be kind of picky about that sort of thing. *sigh*
Thanks for the tips!
