I finally figured out the real trick to cheap chicken dinners
Last month I bought a whole chicken for $7 at the store in town and roasted it, but we only ate half. The next day I boiled the bones with an old onion and some pepper to make stock, then used that and the leftover meat to make a huge pot of soup with cheap rice and frozen veggies. What's your best 'stretch the meat' trick for a family?

My grandma used to add a can of beans to ground beef for tacos.

...and then my toddler decided the chicken was a toy and dropped it on the floor, so I guess that's one way to stretch meat by losing half of it.
