This is so off topic but so cool to me. I love saving money really I do and I don't know anyone that does not like to save money and see how they can make things stretch in their house.
Like me I love to do left overs and over and over and over. I think you get the point here. The biggest reason why is because it saves me time really, second is because it saves me money.
With all of the things that I have to do in a day I don't have to to become June Cleaver and cook and clean all day long. Now I do like a clean house and pretty one but the cooking thing....uuuuh no.
So I found ways to make my money stretch with certain meats and veggies.
First off I buy one or two whole birds and just place them in the freezer. Then when I feel like baking or slow cooking a bird I pull it out and cook it whole once it has been cleaned.
Now we can eat off of that bird for several days without switching it up we just heat it up and add veggies. However there are times when the bird is on its last leg before I get rid of the bones which no I ain't that domestic I don't save the bones for stock for soup.
What I will do is put on a pair of plastic gloves and heat up the left over bird in the microwave. I then proceed to pull off every sliver and piece of meat that I can find until there is nothing left.
Once I do that I can then add either taco seasoning, peppers and salsa for fajitas or douse the chicken with barbecue sauce, mix it up with my gloved hand and add a Kaiser roll for warm barbecue sandwiches when the kids are hungry throughout the afternoons on Sundays. I simply add either re fried vegetarian beans for the fajitas or quick slaw from the grocer's deli or KFC really for the second meal or maybe even a handful of potato chips on the side. Hey it IS a barbecue sandwich come one now!
