Stretching your meat.

[no_hypocrisy]

I don't visit the meat department on a regular basis because of the prices. (Veggies are pretty expensive too.)

When I do buy beef, chicken, or pork, I not only go for the less expensive cuts, I use them in stir fry recipes, stews, etc. to stretch them out.

Tonight I had four quarter pound sirloins. I semi-froze them so I could slice very thin and then used the slices in a steak stir fry. Instead of four meals, I can do six, maybe eight.

It sounded kinky.

5. Today I bought a 10-lb butt-end ham @89/lb...

I will get about 20 meals from that (including ham sandwiches).

6. if you make stir fry w/ chicken, extra firm cubed tofu will pick up the sauce flavor

It really will pass for chicken.
