I do most of my shopping, with the exception of meats, at the local Walmart super-center, meats, I usually get somewhere else because of price, and beef quality. However.. Today while doing my weekly shopping I noticed that my local walmart has 10lb bags of chicken leg quarters for $5, this works out to 50 cents a lb. So I got one, it is currently on the stove boiling, and once done, I will skin and bone it and divide the meat in to meal size portions, put in zipper bags and freeze.
I think I will go pick up at least one more in the next day or two and get those put up too. I can’t pass up the price and it makes dinner prep that much easier. I can pull a bag of already cooked chicken out of the freezer and make rice and we have chicken and rice. or make enchiladas out of it and with the chicken already done, that is more than half the work.
Check your local stores for deals, a lot of stores are putting freezer items on sale so that they have the space to put out turkeys for the holidays, maybe a store near you has a really great deal too.
