the Grocery bill
How to get what you need on the Grocery Budget.
To be able to get the groceries for about $50, I downloaded the apps for my local grocery store to see which ones had the items I need for the cheapest price. I suggest that you try to use this method too. Also, coupons are great for helping stretch your grocery budget.

Based on 4 oz per serving of Chicken
4 oz of chicken is the actual serving size that you should eat and about 6-8oz of veggies. Eating this way will also give you balance nutritionally.
Go Back to the Stock
Pull your chicken stock from the heat. Get a big bowl and put it under a strainer to catch the stock so you can toss the bones. Let the stock cool and place in the fridge and now go to bed, you did amazing. Also make sure that any left over veggies, the chicken salad, cucumber salad and the left over chicken is in the fridge.
