My grandma in Scranton said to buy whole chickens instead of cut pieces, and my grocery bill has never looked better
I thought she was just being old fashioned about it, but I finally did the math last month and cutting up a $7 bird myself gets me 4 meals plus stock. Now I feel silly for buying those $9 packs of thighs for so long. What's the one kitchen habit from an older relative that actually saved you money?
Cutting up a $7 bird myself" is the move. A buddy of mine swore by his mom's trick of roasting the whole thing first, then picking the meat off for the week, and he hasn't bought cut pieces since.
