I refrigerate the broth from when the chicken was cooking to separate the fat from the broth. I scrape the fat layer off the top in the morning. Then I boil the chicken bones with some onion, carrot, whatever veggies need used, add the broth, salt and taste. I usually cool it in the fridge again and the next day measure our 2 cups of broth per ziplock bag and freeze!

The cheapest I've ever found them is $1.50, so that can really add up! Next year I intend to grow a few more plants in hopes of stocking my freezer so I NEVER have to buy another green pepper!!

One of the stores that I go to has a policy that if it doesn't ring up correctly you will get that item for free. I was not aware of this policy until today. They had a 10# roll of ground beef on sale for $16.90. It rang up as $21.99. I pointed out that it should be $16.90. I just didn't want to be overcharged the $5 and instead I didn't get charged at all. I would definitely pay attention to how things ring up.

I'm usually distracted by my kids and end up paying too much! #16 gets me sometimes too, especially on Walgreen’s clearance stuff! I’m usually distracted by my kids and end up paying too much!
