Learn This Money Saving Hack

 

Hello Friends.  Welcome to today's post.  

I want to share a hack with you all that will save you money on your grocery budget. 

If you don't  do this, you really should. If you don't know why we do it, I'll explain. 

Walmart has two pack whole chickens for around $15. I bought 3 packs. That is 6 whole chickens for around $7 and a few cents a piece (depending on weight).( I rounded each two pack up to the nearest whole dollar so I spent around $45 for 6 whole chickens). 

David cut up each chicken for me to separate the pieces. 

Scraps, bones,  necks, gizzards, and skins went into a big roaster. Added water and simmered all night. 

Strained the scraps all out of the roaster and I was left with 12 quart jars of nutritional chicken stock. This can be used in any recipe calling for stock, or to give someone who is sick, or I can make some homemade chicken noodle soup. 

I went through all the scraps and got some more jibblets of white and dark meat for chicken salad, BBQ chicken pizza,  nachos, etc. Then the farm kitty gets treats every day until they last. 

We are then left with:

1 whole bag of chicken wings (I almost sung the song)

1 bag of tenderloin for chicken strips 

6 bags of 2 chicken breasts a piece

6 bags of 2 chicken leg quarters a piece. 

I am seeing so many recipe ideas for future meals. 

We tagged teamed it and got er' done and in the freezer and pantry. 

When he retires, we are going back to raising chickens again. 

My grandparents raised chickens and we were raised on it. My grandmother could have a chicken on the table in an hour that was once walking around in the pasture. 

It is so easy to break down a chicken and section it out for meals to stock your freezer and pantry. You just need to learn. 

David has his own video where he shows you how to do this and he even has a price break down for you at the time things were on sale when he did the video. 

You can find that video here 

You actually save money breaking them down and packaging them yourself because you are cutting out the middle man (meat packager). 

It cost money to pay someone to do this in the stores. Then it cost money for all the plastic packaging. 

If I would have bought all that separately (already packaged) it would have cost almost twice as much. 

See the savings? So buy those whole chickens, learn a new skill and break them down yourselves and save money. You will thank yourself later.

Back To School Already

 

  Good morning, dear friends. Welcome to today's blog post. If you are visiting for the first time, thanks for dropping in. Hang around for a bit, I'm sure you might find more that you like. I want my blog to be a place where you can find encouragement and inspiration to test your skills and information to help you learn all that you are interested in, all that you are seeking knowledge about. As I get older, I love challenges. If something catches my eye or fills my mind, I do whatever I can to research and learn that thing that so intrigues me. If you linger on my blog, be sure to visit my home page and check out the titles in the subheader. They are links to pages concerning those topics. They open up a whole new world for you to enjoy and glean from. 

I truly hope you find everything you are looking for. Be sure to sign up for my email list (pop-up box) to be notified of all new blog posts published. We would love to have you. 

Where did our Summer Break go? If you are like us, school has started back. I did not want it to. We were having way too much fun. I was not ready and neither were they. But here we are having to get back into the swing of things. 

Pretty soon we will get further into the year and the new will wear off and we wil be stuck in a rut. However, there is a way around this chaos before it even starts. 

Here are a few ideas I can give you:

If you are having trouble getting some healthy breakfast in them before school because no one wants to get up or you're running behind, check out my 4D Farms Make Ahead Breakfast Playlist on my YouTube channel. In these videos I show you how to dedicate some time to make breakfasts ahead of time to put in the refrigerator or freezer to have on hand for busy mornings. These breakfasts can be pulled out and heated up so you can still sit down and enjoy breakfast together but cutting your time way down because they have already been cooked or take out,  heat up and grab and go. I'm sure you will find the perfect breakfast idea that will suit your families need and receive the best nutrition to help start everyone out for their busy day. Sugary breakfast cereals do not last long in the gut and causes sugar crashes. These meals are packed with protein and lasts longer. 

If the evenings get chaotic and supper time is a problem but you still need to feed your family, check out my 4D Farms Hotel/Travel/Small Space Cooking Playlist on my YouTube channel.  Although this is labeled hotel cooking, you will find videos where I prepare meals with an air fryer, instant pot, microwave or electric skillet. Some are quick and easy and can be cooking while you are helping with homework, getting everyone settled for the evening or etc. This list also comes in handy for anyone who has kids going to college. I mean, they still need to eat too. If you have got them settled in their dorm rooms and purchased them any of these appliances,  I can teach them how to cook themselves some nutritious meals for themselves and they don't have to buy take out all the time. 

Don't let school lunches get boring before a month has already passed. I can help with that also. Lunches do not have to get boring when you have awesome ideas, rotate them out and stay on a budget. Check out my 4D Farms Lunch Box Playlist also School lunches do not have to break the budget and you can control the nutrients in your childs lunches. These lunches are not just for kids. You young adults and adults can find ideas for your lunches as well wether you work out in the field or in the office. There is something for everyone. 

And last but not least,  when your home starts lacking attention, I have plenty of homemaking tips on my 4D Farms Homemaking Playlist where routines and schedules can be put in place for the school year. Chores can be initiated to age appropriate children and helps for Moms and Dad's to stay on top of their game. 

I hope you find all these videos and ideas helpful for this school year. We can do this. 

Things have been shaping up on one of our sons property they bought right beside us. They are getting their driveway put in. 

Dear hubby has been helping me with my project. That will be a whole new post for a later time. 

I have been playing around in my kitchen with some new recipes that will be coming up in my Breadmaking for Beginners Series

on my channel. We are diving into the Advanced stage of that series. 

There are days when you do no feel like getting all fancied up, but just  a little bit of lipstick or lip gloss can just boost your self confidence. 

Wouldn't you also know that the minute school starts back, so does the sickness? Want to know why? I'll tell you why. 

These kids do not get alot of outside time at school. You mix germs and kids into a classroom and mix in a little warmth and Viola ' you spread germs. Some kids are not taught proper hygiene and cough or sneeze everywhere. Some kids do not wash their hands after using the bathroom. Can you imagine the germs on surfaces just in the bathroom. I don't want to think about it. 💩🤢🤮🤧🤒 

They are just children,  but by boosting their immune systems, we can get them off to a good start. 

I have already been gathering ingredients I need to start making tinctures and supplements. STREP THROAT is already going around school. I make cold and flu remedies also upper respiratory remedies. 

For us older ones, I make some of our own supplements. I will try to do a written tutorial of these shortly. But if you would like a video version to go ahead and watch, you can check out my 4D Farms Natural Remedies and Apothecary Playlist on my channel as well. Tons of information and health benefits of plants, flowers, herbs, spices, etc., that you can learn to use to make your own and stock your Apothecary.  

Disguising some herbs in a warm cup of tea with some honey amd having a tea party after school always helps us. Oh, and a little slice of cake helps the medicine go down. 😂

We've been making after school snacks to eat right when they get here to give them just  a few minutes down time before we start homework. These kids are hangry when they get home. 

We always help with school drop off and pick up if we need to. But they also know we help out with homework because this helps the parents out in the evening time when they get home so they can just eat supper,  take baths and relax a little before getting in bed at a decent time. I know how hard it is for parents getting off work at 5pm or such and having to have a bedtime routine in place. Anything us grandparents can help do, we are happy to oblige. This is not our first rodeo. 

Poppie will help one and I will help the other, then the next day we rotate. We also help them study for tests. 

Right after homework is done, we try to enjoy the pool for a bit before their Daddy says its time to go home.  We are trying to soak in some last days of summer in the pool before we take it down for the fall season. We are truly going to miss our pool. 

One reason why we have some time in the evening to swim is because it is hay season and we have been stocking up. 😉 

Our oldest son drives and loads them up from our supplier and drops them off. Dear hubby uses the tractor to stack them. 

There are plans for next year on building a hay barn. 

We are working on so many projects on the farm but in stages. We had to have our ponds dug out some more to hold more water and allow more room for more cows. This summer heat has been no joke and stressful on animals outside. While we have big heavy equipment here on the property, we are using them to get the beginnings of other projects done as well. Makes sense,  since you are paying someone to haul their equipment. It saves money in the long run to keep from having to get them to come back later. 

These projects will be finished at a later season. 

Well it is time to end this post for today. I hope you have enjoyed catching up with us on the farm and I hope you have found some useful information here today.
