Hi Shawn,


 RH> I've bought the larger packages of various meats and split them into
 RH> smaller packs.

 SH> The only way to go.

Couldn't afford to for a long time. I used to get a fair sized chuck
roast or other piece of beef, cut it into a smaller roast, stew beef,
scraps for sitr fry etc but none of the smaller meals had a lot of meat.


 RH> Years ago we would buy whole chickens and I would cut
 RH> up myself but now I buy the pieces we want; the budget has improved
 RH> over the years.

 SH> When I see whole chickens at an affordable price I cook 'em whole.
 SH> LOL They are sooooo expensve here now.  I've seen small chickens as
 SH> high as $21 this year.  Even the local asian market for old hens went
 SH> from $3 to $8 for the same old tough stewing hen.

I know that is Canadian $$$ but still, that's a fair chunk of change!


 RH> Haven't gotten any cast iron for free yet (except a wedding shower
 RH> piece and one from my MIL) but I can still hold out hope. (G)

 SH> When you least expect it!

I know; we're going to Pidgeon Forge, TN for an RV/Radio rally this
fall. I've already informed Steve that we're stopping at the Lodge cast
iron outlet in that area. (G)
