Homemade chicken stock is an easy way to stretch your grocery dollar, especially when you buy your whole chicken at your buy price. My buy and stock-up price is.79/lb. I make chicken stock two ways, depending on how I intend to cook the chicken. It cooks overnight and in the morning, your kitchen smells wonderful.

Cooked chicken and veggies can be frozen and used in soups or casseroles at a later date. I compared the prices of some store products and the name brand counterparts of some items on my shopping list and found savings of 20% - 40%. Compare price per unit and if the size makes sense go for the best price per unit.

For years, I've been buying the larger packages (3+ pounds) of ground turkey and sausage, because the sale price per unit is so much better than the smaller packages. Lasagna, tacos, sloppy joes are all meals that I've recently made by using cooked meat from the freezer. Cook over medium-low heat and break up the sausage while cooking.

I was never much of a cook before kids. But when I became a mother for the first time, I realized that I could not raise a family on cereal and I soon realized that I needed to manage our grocery expenses and cook beyond a box. She took what seemed to me like an advanced cooking technique and made it seem so easy.
