    re two things in your list
    fruits and veggies - any fruit stands near you - we get our fruit and veggies at at least 1/2 what stores want from a fruit stand run by a distributor - its not a pretty place - cement floors cold in winter warm in summer but in many of the groceries you are paying for pretty !!


    bread-
    we have a bakery in next down its not a reg bakery its a small factory like bakery that makes rolls i often buy a bag of day old and use them - they are still pretty fresh and on the rare occasion they arent i pop them in the microwave for 10-30 seconds with a little bit of water in a shot glass in with it
    moistens it right up -

    Do you boil the bones for broth? I freeze the broth in 2 cup portions and use it to cook cous cous or white rice in. Adds nutritional value and flavor.

    Just a note on the chicken carcass... I know you said no soup, BUT -- I make chicken broth and freeze it in 1 cup bags. I use the broth in mashed potatoes, rice... anything I would use plain water in, for an extra yummy kick.
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!
