How far can you stretch $3.00??? I fed a total of 14+ people with only one $3 chicken!!!
Do you make Chicken Noodle Soup for your family when someone is feeling sick? I do!!! It’s one of our favorite meals….and definitely one of the cheapest!!!
Last week HyVee had Whole Fryer Chickens for only $0.59/lb…so of course I stocked up! I picked up 4 whole chickens! I thought I would share with you the awesomeness of what you can do with a $3 chicken…
First Meal: Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Carrots…YUM!
(I fed 8 kids and 2 adults this night!!!)
Second Meal: Chicken Noodle Soup…made from the scraps of chicken left over from the night before
(I fed my family of 6!!!)
Third Use: Chicken Stock…take the bones and empty carcass from the previous two meals and make your own much healthier version of chicken broth!!! Use it the next time you make Chicken Noodle Soup!!!

Here is a recipe for chicken stock that I like to use: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2012/01/24/recipe-overnight-chicken-stock-in-the-crock-pot/.
I especially love it because it just simmers in the crockpot all night! Super easy.
