Picked the $1.50 pork shoulder over the $2.99 chicken thighs at Kroger and fed 5 people for 3 days
I stood in the meat aisle for 10 minutes doing math on my phone and went with the shoulder even though I'd never cooked one before. Threw it in a crockpot with a jar of salsa and some dried cumin, and we got tacos, then nachos, then soup out of it. What's your go to cheap cut when chicken goes up?
Three days of meals for like 8 bucks is just being smart with your money, not some huge crisis. People have been stretching cheap cuts forever, this isn't rocket science.
