    Steak, fish, ground beef... That stuff is all way more expensive than chicken. Sometimes I can buy a whole chicken for $.79/lb. That'll feed your whole family and at a price you can't beat!

    Not always. Keep your eyes open for deals and you can find cheap cuts of beef on sale and freeze it for future use. That's what we always did.

    Chicken can be pricey, too, unless you're buying a whole chicken for $.79/lb ;)

    Sometimes I'll buy a 7-Blade roast when it's on sale for $1.99/lb and make a pot roast, which is pretty cheap, too. Or if I can find flatiron for cheap, we'll buy the whole thing and carve it ourself. The butchers can do it right, if you tell them how, but if they're just carving it on their own, they leave the silver skin right in the middle. :(
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.
