5 Ways To Use Deli Chicken To Save Money

I'm always looking for ways to stretch my grocery budget. I mean, let's face it with the recession, many of us are looking for ways to stretch our dollars.

I would never have thought you could do so much with one deli chicken, but the mom in this video proved me wrong!

See how using deli chicken can save you money and time:

• Purchase a deli chicken and eat the first meal as chicken with a side dish or two.
   
• Use the leftover chicken for the next day by making chicken quesadillas, or chicken salad.
   
• Boil the leftover bones and skin for chicken stock, then use it to make chicken noodle soup, and casseroles.
   
• Take advantage of buy-one-get-one-free sales when it comes to deli chicken. If your store is having one of these sales, then get 2 deli chickens! Use the first one the same way you would with one deli chicken (mentioned above).
   
• For your second deli chicken, debone it first. Then put the meat into freezer bags and store it in the freezer for sandwiches, soup, chicken salad, casseroles or whatever you'd like.
