    Default Total Food stretching brag that only you guys would appreciate...

    Only you guys would appreciate this....

    I bought bone in split chicken breast for .99 Sunday and bought them 2 to a pack. As of today one pack (which cost around $3) fed my family of four for dinner Tuesday night (Roasted in the crockpot with veggies), my 2 children for lunch today (Pulled meat on rolls), my family again tonight and my neighbor's family of 5 tonight as well because I made double to cheer her up because she has been having a rough couple of weeks (Leftover meat in the crockpot with black beans, onions, pepper, frozen tomatoes from my garden, a can of Cream of Mushroom and a can of Cream of Cheddar Soup/ rolled into tortillas after cooked and placed in oven topped with cheese, sour cream and black olives to make Creamy Enchiladas).

    Yes. Just 2 chicken breasts with the bone in them. I could have made soup from the bones too and should have, but didn't.
    I was so impressed myself that I knew I had to post this brag here lol
