Back to chicken stock…Making your own chicken stock is a great way to stretch your grocery dollar, especially if you are inclined to buy organic chicken, which can be twice the price of non-organic. After you’ve roasted a chicken, make a delicious stock with the leftover bones. In my area,79/lb is a good price.
