Putting up Meat

Last week when I went grocery shopping I FINALLY found some good deals on meat! I was SO HAPPY! In months I hadn't had great deals on any type of meat and when your not eating a ton of it that's all fine and dandy but when out diet changed and we eat a Meat, Whole Grain, and Veggie and or Fruit for dinner... kinda makes it expensive to buy that much meat!

Here's a run down of what I bought that was on a good sale:
2 Family packages of Fajita Chicken meat for $1.00 a lb = 9 lbs total
3 Family packages of Split Chicken Breast for $0.88 a lb = 13 1/2 lbs total

It came out to about 22 1/2 lbs of meat. But they all came in family packages which we won't use in one sitting.
So I split the Fajita meat right away into reg meal size which made about 5 bags of meat.
I froze the chicken breasts for later as they were already frozen solid and I was to tired to deal with it that night. :-)



So today I had set them out and finally got around to boiling it and putting it all away for meals later. I cooked up 2 of the packages of chicken breasts and just split the other package up for other meals with whole chicken breasts. I got 6 bags of 2 cups ea. of the chicken and 7 bags of chicken broth.

Will be nice later to pull already cooked meat out of the freezer! And a nice bonus that I got 13 meals out of all that meat! And even better? It will cost about $1.60 EACH meal for meat! I'm happy! :-D Share
