I take one whole chicken, a poke of pinto beans, a head of cabbage, and a few other plain groceries. That comes to about twenty-seven dollars, and it feeds one grown person for seven days. This is how Ruby and I still cook in our kitchen up the holler in Letcher County. It is also how my Mamaw made one bird last most of a week.
I show you how to take the chicken apart at the kitchen table, turn the bones into broth, and cook soup beans in that broth. From there you get a skillet supper, an apple cake, chicken salad, bean soup, and cabbage cakes. Every meal carries something forward to the next one, so nothing goes in the trash can.
I will also tell you what this will not do, and why most folks try it and quit by Wednesday. And there is one jar in your icebox you would pour down the sink. Do not do it. It makes the best soup of the week.
Tell me in the comments how many people you are feeding and what a week of groceries runs you. I read every one of them.
