All over the web we can find some different chick dishes. I make chicken salad sandwiches which we love with a small salad. One of the problems with frugal cooking here in Canada is the lack of adding the greens stuff to the meals.<br />I don't have a large freezer such as you, so am able to look/see what's in it. I make homemade pizza, which is good for two days.<br />The first day is fresh, then the second pizza is wrapped and put in fridge for next day or the day after.<br />if you want the recipe, I'll send it. It's frugality at it's best and chicken may be put as a topper too.<br />You are doing so well and with Mr P being a chef in training, you are surviving so well! My sweetie refuses to go into that "room".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425123492444675750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-23191510094462704552011-02-24T05:55:00.884+10:302011-02-24T05:55:00.884+10:30Reading this blog entry is like watching an exerci...Reading this blog entry is like watching an exercise program on TV--I feel guilty and inspired in equal measure, cuz you and I both know my intentions are good, but I'll never live up to your example.<br /><br />xx ;-)vawriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776688234339103879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-3523580450848838982011-02-23T15:56:30.499+10:302011-02-23T15:56:30.499+10:30You are taunting me, aren't you?

He is the "can't resist a sale" at the grocery store meat dept.

I think I may have gone overboard. Perhaps not though. I didn't make a menu for the week and found myself running to the store almost every day. On Wed. I was feeling crappy and had Big bring home some fast food. Does that count against my tally? <br /><br />You may be the winner of your own contest!

I can't believe you have so much in your freezer though once upon a time I tended to do the same thing.<br />When we moved I sold the chest freezer and now I don't have so much room to store all that stuff. We found that we didn't like the meat that had been stored for so long and as there are only two of us now I make a point of using up all the meat every now and then before I go out and buy any more.<br />Keep up the good work!<br />Cheers<br />HelenHelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-12560029131887453952011-02-22T07:04:30.565+10:302011-02-22T07:04:30.565+10:30Since I haven't been working as much we tend t...Since I haven't been working as much we tend to think the same...<br />I kick myself everytime I Impulse Buy at the supermarket...I get a splurg every now & then...since I've been on Nanna Duties I tend to not go out with Bubby so I haven't been hitting the shops like normal which is a big saving here.....<br />Thanks for the Inspiration to be frugal..it works.<br />cheersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00606889686676670393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-7417515906507087722011-02-22T02:26:07.772+10:302011-02-22T02:26:07.772+10:30Well we spent $136.64 again this week. which bring...Well we spent $136.64 again this week. which brings us up to $308.77 for the month.

Saved at least $25 on what we would have spent for one meal and I have leftovers for the whole week. That's where we really save by not eating out.Donniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665597376389301581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-87900887329393803072011-02-21T23:37:48.876+10:302011-02-21T23:37:48.876+10:30OMG first it is the queen of quilting...now its th...OMG first it is the queen of quilting...now its the queen of frugal-ness!
