http://www.thriftculturenow.com/ A crucial skill for Saving Money on your food bill: Butchery. By learning how to butcher a chicken, you will pay significantly less for chicken than if you purchased parts of the chicken separately. The Butcher has to pay a costly wage to prepare the chicken, so he passes the cost along to you and increases the price of the various parts (i.e. breast, wings). Furthermore, you not only save money by butchering your own chicken, but you also free up the bones to make chicken stock. This is another foundation to Thrifty Cooking. We'll show you how.
