I’m curious as to what your sale price is vs. mine (opposite sides of the country). I try and buy a package of b/s chickie boobies when I see them on sale at Market Basket or Hannaford for $1.99/lb.
And I agree with ChristinaM - you could skewer chicken and vegetables, grill them on a grill pan, and slide them off on some rice for her to eat with a fork with her usable hand.
That’s a GREAT idea. I have skewers and plenty of peanut butter.
Thanks!!
The boneless skinless chicken breasts range in price $.99 - $1.67/pound (digital coupon). I stock up with the 8 pound limit when they are 99 cents a pound.
This week its $1.67/pound, so I think I’ll just get 2 or 3 large ones.
I still have quite a bit of tuna & potatoes in stock, so they will make an appearance in this week’s meals.
VERY VERY nice! I see whole chickens at $.99/lb regularly, but usually the lowest for b/s chicken breasts is $1.99 - or maybe a bit lower at a store that is in the MA area but not near me.
Breaded chicken fingers / tenders would be easy to pick up too.
Love the skewer / kabab idea – lots of seasonings possible.

For those who buy five or ten pound bags of potatoes, how do you keep them from spoiling? I don’t go through enough potatoes to get that much, and the ones I get tend to sprout and go green after just a couple of weeks in a dark cupboard, in a brown paper bag.
The article it references is excellent:
Contrary to all guidelines, I refrigerate potatoes in my vegetable bin, either in ventilated plastic or ventilated paper bag. Beside onions in their mesh bag, inside an open ziplock plastic bag (to capture the shed fragments of onion skins).
If I buy a 5 lb+ bag of potatoes and know I won’t use them fast enough, I peel and boil some, then refrigerate. Then I’ll figure out how to use, like pan frying one potato to go with breakfast, hash with leftovers, potato salad, or mash and freeze. My thinking is to use them before they get wrinkled and soft. To me, the sprouts are a warning to use them soon or right away.
I ran into a mold problem under the fridge , in the coils, after refrigerating potatoes about 20 years ago.
With most new fridges, it isn’t as easy to clean the coils or fan areas if a mold issue was to develop.
I make this large Potato - Onion - Carrot - Cheese Casserole and freeze the leftovers.
I also make a big pot of potato & vegetable soup and freeze that, as well.
Or Gnocchi & freeze those little pockets of deliciousness!!
I keep my potatoes in a brown paper bag (clipped off with one small hole in it) and watch them like a hawk. If they even start to look bad, make something and freeze it for a later meal.
I am surprised that they are going green when they’re not in direct light.
I have my potatoes on a rack in a cold room. I realize a lot of Californian houses don’t have basements and it isn’t cold enough for cold rooms or root cellars.
When I’m in my apartment, I only buy small amounts of potatoes. I would probably keep them in the cupboard under the kitchen sink, if I needed to store several lbs.
Another option, is to peel the potatoes and keep them completely submerged in water in the fridge, if you will be using them in a couple days. I also do this when I peel too many potatoes.
That was supposed to be “little pillows of deliciousness”
Brain failed me.
A favorite use for boneless, skinless chicken breasts - actually, dinner last night! Variously season the chicken and/or the panko, depending upon the rest of the meal. Katsu is usually served sliced, but it’s also a fine method for chicken tenders - either way, easy fork or finger food.
Mission Accomplished… Early this morning, I picked up some boneless skinless chicken breasts and had a really nice bicycle ride, as well.
As I passed the gas station, I saw the price was now $4.79/gallon (regular unleaded). I thought I read somewhere that the price was going to come back down??
We are now paying $1.69 CAD/ litre in Ontario. It keeps going up.
Everything keeps going up. Today at the grocery I spotted a 1.1 oz. package of “Dubai” chocolate (made by Russel Stover, of all peeps) on sale for $3.00. Are you kidding me???
ETA: Ground Starbucks coffee was $11 for 12 oz. I’m used to paying $6-$7 CRAZY!
