Frugal Friday

Need charged up?? We did! A new battery that is!
The battery on my Jeep Grand Cherokee has decided in the last 2-3 weeks that it has had enough. So, we-mainly my DH, started looking around comparing prices on new batteries. I evidently am rubbing off on him, because he would look & compare prices while we would be in Wal-mart, etc and he "investigated" online quite a bit too, trying to find a good deal--and he DID! At least we think so. The average we were finding everywhere was $75-80, of course that depends on the "size" you want, etc Well, he found one on sale at Rural King for $45 for a 650cold cranking amp battery, my dad thought that we should get a bigger one than that, but it sits inside the garage and that is the size that is in it now and it has lasted for QUITE a while, so my DH went to pick up a new battery on his lunch hour. Anyway, that is almost half cheaper than the prices he was seeing everywhere else, so just by taking some time and doing some research we have saved $35-40!!! YEAH!!!

Thank the Lord for his help to find "frugal finds" and helping to stretch our money.

Frugal Friday--Poor Chicken!

Poor Poor Chicken, this is all that is left of it!





We had rotisserie chicken on the grill the other day, we were at Mendards a while back and they had marked down a rotisserie that mounts on your gas grill so we got it. We seasoned up the chicken and let it cook for about an hour and a half or so. It was really good and it was even pretty to look at it--that is before we tore into it!ha! (I forgot to take pictures of all that)Well, after we all had our fill, we tore off all the other meat left on the chicken and had it the next day for lunches as sandwiches and then took all the bones, etc left and boiled it to make broth that I froze and we will use the broth for making something else! So, at least 3 meals out of one chicken-not too bad! I have read on some other blogs where depending on the size of the chicken they have got more uses out of a chicken, but I thought that was pretty good--baby steps! I was proud of myself!
