Another meal saving tip

Next time you find boneless chicken breast on sale buy several packs, bring them home throw them in either a large pot and boil them or in the crock pot until they're done. Pull out, and cool. Tear it apart and put barbecue sauce on it and put it in a quart freezer bag based on your families serving size. There's four of us so I put enough for seven sandwiches in a freezer bag. You can also do these in single servings for lunch. Next time you're in a pinch and need something quick, pull this out of the freezer, throw it in a microwave, grab some hamburger buns and chips from the store and "wa-la" dinner is served. The thing is it doesn't take any longer to cook twelve pieces of chicken than it does for four and you only have to clean up the mess once and you have three or four meals. This one is a major staple around my home.

BTW: you can buy chicken frozen by the case up in Cumming, GA at Tyson's for a very cheap price, this makes this idea even better when you're able to get by there.

Meal saving tip for busy wives. Save time and money.

I like to shop in bulk and when I can I buy the larger packs of ground chuck on sale. I use to bring it home and break it up into 1 pound packages and then freeze. I have learned that when I purchase it in the 5pound plus package not only do I save money but I can also save time. When I get it home I go ahead and brown it all then put it in 1 pound packages. This makes it easy to pull out for tacos, hamburger helper, vegatable soup, or to add to spagetti. Not having to stand over the stove and thaw it makes it so easy to use right out of the freezer.

Hope this helps some other busy wives out there. I know with trying to do the marketing, teaching and learning about social marketing, blogging and everything else, I don't want to worry about dinner time.
