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. Stir well and place in freezer containers. Will last about one week in the refrigerator and 3 months in the freezer. Do not be alarmed.

Stockpile in the freezer. I stocked up and put them in the freezer for storage and to prevent bugs. Set the leftovers up buffet style.

I've seen silicone mats priced at $14-$20 depending on the brand and size, but parchment paper is pricey too and your investment will eventually pay for itself. I re-use pasta sauce jars for my homemade chicken stock , or my Roasted Roma Tomato Sauce , or my homemade sugar-free applesauce and store them in my freezer.
