One of my favorite recipes for the chicken legs and
occasionally thighs would be to toss them in BBQ sauce and cook them in the
crock pot for hours and hours. The first crock pot was released by RIVAL in 1971. Now, there are many to choose from and some are quite sophisticated!
When done, the chicken is “pulled” off the bones with two
forks and there is a wonderful bounty of pulled chicken for dinner. The chicken can also be used for any recipe that requires cooked chicken.
While grocery shopping this weekend, one of the local
grocery stores had a package of pulled chicken breast advertised for $4.54. It
weighed 0.65 lbs. That would be approximately two boneless breasts or one very
large one.
Over the course of time, I’ve seen boneless, skinless
chicken breasts on sale for $1.99/lb. Occasionally chicken breasts on the rib
cage will be on sale for $0.99/lb. My price point for chicken is between $0.69
to $0.99/lb.
With a good sale, I can take $4.54 and purchase more chicken
than 0.65 lbs. It won’t be pre-cooked but with a crock pot and a few hours on
my side, I will have “pulled chicken breast” for a lot less money!
SOUND THE BUGLE! Today’s tip: Convenience food comes in many
forms. When shopping for the food items of your grocery budget, use discernment
in deciding which convenience foods you “must have” and which you “would like
to have” in your shopping cart so when you reach the check-out counter, you
will be able to stretch your grocery dollars.
