Today I’m guest posting at Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy, sharing a trick I learned to stretch healthy fats like olive oil and butter. Here’s an excerpt from the post:
…that day I learned that stretching isn’t always easy. It’s not a comfortable word. Usually it implies extra work and maybe even a little bit of pain. Little did I know how much I would have to learn to stretch over the years.
Many of us have had to learn to stretch a lot of things. We had to stretch our comfort zones when we grew up and took responsibility of our work, our bills, and our future. We had to stretch our skill set when we took that job. We had to stretch our patience when we had that kid (especially when that kid turned two). And most of us reading this blog have had to stretch our grocery budget.
…when we had $35/week for groceries, and I learned how to stretch chickens across more meals than I knew was possible. Who could’ve imagined the mileage you could get out of those things? It was like the endless poultry. I’m still learning these tips and tricks, one of which I want to share with you today.
Hop over to Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy to read more about this easy money saving trick. If you make your own chicken stock or broth, you’re already more than halfway there!
Cheers,

Hi Steph! I enjoyed this post! I like the title, ‘Something from Nothing’. Kind of how God does things, He makes something out of nothing! Blessings from Bama!

Thanks, Bama Girl! I like it too, and I wish I could take credit for it, but it’s actually Anne’s brilliant title for that category on her blog. She’s pretty clever.
