[quote:darth:MV80NTU1NTQ2XzgzMDEzNTQwXzRFNzlFN0Ey] Watch Craigs List for free animals such as chickens and goats. I see them every two weeks or so. You can find baby dairy bulls extremely cheap or free as well. The only problem with those is that they are good for burger and soup bones, but not steaks. Calf liver is excellent. You can learn to humanely slaughter and process them on utube. Many farms will allow you to kill the animal on site and process at home. You could also put an ad on Craigs List for meat from hunters who don't want it. For example, wild hog hunters often have thousands of pounds of pork going to waste when they discard carcasses. I used to be on a deer lease with a guy who only wanted the horns for trophies. He let me have the rest of the deer. I have a few acres and am retired on Social Security plus a small pension. We NEVER buy meat. I simply cull animals such as hens that have stopped laying eggs as well as surplus bulls. [/quote]

Ok so our grocery budget has been cut in half, and prices keep going up.
I need ideas and recipes for making meat stretch for a family.
We already do soups, stews and chili. Great budget meals!
I've recently added fried rice to the meal rotation, fantastic way to make a lot of food with very little. Plus my kids love it.
You can also stretch a 1lb package of Italian sausage into several meals: take half and mix into pasta sauce for spaghetti, freeze the other half to use for homemade pizza.
Any other ideas from you good folks would be sincerely appreciated!
