Tips from living on a dime newsletter

Chicken breasts can be more expensive than buying a whole chicken to cut up yourself but, if you find it on sale and use it in a dish like the kabobs in today's newsletter, it can really save you a lot.


Try this with other expensive cuts of meat too. Use them in a dish that calls for small pieces instead of one large piece. For example, use a small piece of round steak to make stroganoff instead of using several large pieces for Swiss steak.


If you have a couple of extra bratwurst, hot dogs or even a hamburger or two after your barbecue, slice or crumble them and use on top of homemade or frozen pizza.
