My daughter and I bought 30 meat chicks for 0.50 a piece last year. She raised them, had them slaughtered and defeathered. We shrunk wrapped them. Cost per chicken with feed and processing was less than 1.50 each. I still have 3 in my freezer, about 7-8 pounds. They are THE best tasting chickens ever. We will be doing that again this year.

Along the same principal I always purchase whole pork loin’s for 2 dollars a pound or less from Sam’s . You get 15-20 boneless chops and usually a couple of roasts for 17-20 dollars...I also get the whole birds and use every bit of it. I thank God .

A whole live chicken is easy to kill, pluck and cut up.

We could do it blindfolded by the time we were 10 years old.

Even a whole bought plucked and eviscerated chicken can be cut into pieces in less than five minutes.

I cook a brisket then cut it up into meal sized portions and freeze them. Lasts a good while.

Indeed. The vacuum sealer is a very useful kitchen tool.

Instant pot eye round roast beef came out pretty good. The gravy was excellent. Next time I’ll make it a little more rare than the recipe says.

[Bought a rotisserie for 2 bucks at a garage sale, works great. Fun to watch and good to smell especially in the winter when the heat is also a benefit. Otherwise do it on the patio and enjoy a cold one while it’s cooking.]


I’m impressed. Mine was $15 from Goodwill. But it was the original Ron Popeil Showtime Rotisserie, complete with baked in chicken grease stains. Looks pretty solidly built, and definitely higher quality than the Walmart Farberware Toaster Oven Rotisserie combo that broke after 2 years. When they say they don’t make ‘em like they used to, that’s true even of stuff today vs 20 years ago.

Yeah, the incredible edible egg is a real life saver, too. They are so versatile and are excellent, high quality protein and lots of important minerals. They always taste good to me.

Chicken & Rice might be one of my favorite meals, maybe not as good as roast beef sandwiches and mashed potatoes, but it’s right up there. Very simple to make. I like fried chicken as much as anybody, but it’s a hassle, and makes kind of a mess.

They sure are a tasty bird!
