Fresh Vegtables and Fruit

Have you ever stood in front of your favorite vegetable adding to your produce bag and wondering what is this going to cost? It is intimidating if you are on a tight budget and trying to get the most for your money. (I have a certain fear of the meat department for this reason!!) Here is a price chart up to $1.00 you can print this and keep it in your wallet to help you next time!!

What I found when I was at Giant last week for an example..
Green Peppers were $0.25c lb cheaper by buying them in a prepacked bag that was labeled GREAT VALUE.. when in fact I'm sure they are the same peppers!

Price Per Lb Chart








What is in season this month? (this means it will be cheaper!)

Apples
Asparagus
Beets
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Cherries (tart)
Cherries (sweet)
Lettuce
Mushrooms
Onions
Peas
Spinach
Squash (summer)
Squash (winter)
Strawberries
Tomatoes

Day of Freezer Cooking

There are great deals to be had on chicken at Giant.. I picked up enough for the entire month, as well as a pork loin that I will make chop's out of for $15.00.. They are great too!

Chicken Leg Quaters $0.69
Split Chicken Breast BOGO (get the large packs they are $0.20 cheaper a lb) $2.79lb /2 = $1.40lb


When I got home I put 4 quaters in my crockpot, added celery carrots and onion.. This will become chicken noodle and chicken corn chowder.
In 2 13*9 pans I baked 8 split chicken breasts
In a Large pan I boiled 4 chicken leg quaters (these will be bbq'd on the grill)  This created my chicken stock that I made Cream of Chicken out of.. I poured the juice from the chicken in the oven right into this pot too.
~ To make Cream of Chicken     1 1/2 c broth, 1/2 c milk and tsp fresh parsly. bring to a boil.  In another bowl combine 1c milk and 3/4c flour.  Add to broth on stove, mix until it thickens, salt pepper to taste.
I made 2 sets of 4 Quaters in the oven too.  No need to reheat the oven or use more foil. Both money savers!

So what is my plan for all of this chicken?
Chicken soup x2
Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
Chicken Nuggets
Chicken Croquettes
Chicken Fajitas x2
Mini Chicken Pot Pies (16)
Chicken and Rice Casserole x2
BBQ chicken for the grill
Chicken Normady x2  (new recipe I tried)
Terriaki Chicken Skewers for the grill
and a have 2 packs left to figure out.

What is your favorite chicken reciepe?
