rainy dreary day but I was able to get a really cheap meal and it has some meat
in it and it was under a dollar a serving how can you have such a cheap
meal I hope you enjoy the video because you don't get a bargain like this every
single day tomorrow's video I'm going to be sharing with you about the food
prices and about how diesel fuel has grown up and the flooding in the out
west I'm going to share with you a little bit about why prepping is
important not just for if we have physical ailments or we lose a job but
what about things beyond our control as far as the weather and things that are
happening right now as I speak I'm going to be sharing with you a little bit of
my feelings on prepping but today let's get started on our cheap me on Monday
because it is a really good one and it's extremely cheap and it's to show you
that you can get Argon's but you have to really look so I'm gonna share with you
how I find bargains and that means we have to go to the computer it started
and let's get making your meal because hubby is seem good to be home and he is
always hungry after a day of work
welcome everyone to cheat meal Monday and today's cheat meal finds me sitting
at the computer and what am i finding today well guess what cheat meal Monday
it's going to showcase chicken drumsticks we having chicken drumsticks
well my friends we got it for 49 cents a pound and I bought thirty pounds of it
and we are going to have a cheap meal Monday using some of this chicken javi
says he wants to have some drumsticks part of his cheap meal Monday so let's
get cooking I'm going through my potatoes this is the potatoes that I
have left from last year's harvest as you can see a lot of them have a lot of
sprouts on them and what I don't eat and the next two weeks are going to be
planted outside but I want to go through them because today's cheap me on Monday
I would like to make a couple baked potatoes and I'm hoping I can find a
couple that are just the right size so what we're going to do is we are going
to go through these and transport them into my Basin so this is what we got
left now we're going to go ahead and I'm
going to pull a couple of these really big ones we're going to pull these out
and we're going to have these four baked potatoes
all right now we're gonna put the rest of them in here we're gonna keep this in
my out porch we're gonna have a cover over top of them and this is what we're
gonna eat from for the next two weeks and what is left it's going to be
planted out in the garden it was 49 cents a pound so I'm guessing this is a
little bit about maybe a pound and a half I don't even think it's two pounds
they're very small what we're gonna do is I'm gonna add one packet of some
shake and bake today now I've been making these drumsticks a couple times
this week because it's so cheap and this is shaking bag with Parmesan cheese with
the airfryer you can make this meal so quick so we're gonna go ahead and we're
just going to shake it in the bag and
we're going to put it directly in the airfryer I've been using my air fryer a
lot I use it about as much as I use my crock-pot wow that smells amazing so I'm
just gonna take a little bit of this that's nice over chicken looks like you
have no grease you have no mess and you just put it in the air fryer make sure
there now we're gonna put it in for 15 minutes at 400 and then we're going to
turn them and do it five minutes so so it only takes 20 minutes to have this
chicken totally done so we're going to set it the temperature at 400 and there
we go so the baked potatoes in the oven they
were free because I grew them myself we have a pact of peace that was 99 cents
and we have the chicken that's probably a dollar at the most for these four
little chicken legs now get back to you and I'll show you what it all looks like
and how this meal is about as frugal as you can get with having some meat in it
all right that's what they look like and now we have to put them in for another
six minutes here almost finished take a look at that
no grease whatsoever so we're gonna set the timer and in seven more minutes
they'll be finished there you go is chicken drumsticks in the airfryer now
of course you can make this in your oven you can make this in a crock pot but
this is what I'm using these days and it's amazing so we have the two chicken
legs we have a baked potato from my garden and we have some peas so I'm
gonna go ahead and put the plate together I also can some of my own
butter which I'm going to be doing a video in that it is amazing
canning butter is so much fun I cannot wait to be able to can some more of it
so you're gonna be seeing that put some baked potato toppings I happen to find
this I have no idea where I got it and then we have some homemade pasta salad
all this is pasta salad with Italian dressing and there you go everyone the
most frugal meal you could ever find because the chicken was only forty nine
cents a pound and my potatoes were free from the garden take care everyone we'll
see you guys tomorrow all right so I melted the butter now
this is homemade butter I've done many videos on it and we're going to can it
now why I don't pressure can my cheese whiz is because to be honest with you
there are chemicals in that cheese and I don't think I need to pressure can it
because there are some things in that cheese that probably keep it preserved
fairly well but this is organic butter and I know a lot of people just can
their butter like that with the cheese I just don't feel right about that so
we're gonna do it this way and this way I know it's pressure canned this way I
know that this is the same way which you would do anything low acid this is not
USDA recommended so please know that if you try this at home but I feel very
sure about what I'm doing all right so there we go
and I have just a little bit left I'll just put in this jar to use up so there
is the butter I do not recommend you can anything that is larger than a jelly jar
which would be a half pint we're gonna go wipe these rooms really well and I'm
gonna put it with my pressure canner with my ground beef and we're gonna can
it for 75 minutes I'm gonna tell you one thing I'm gonna look out for some butter
at a reduced price because I loved my canned butter all that I did is once it
was cool enough to touch I would shake the jar once every 15 minutes and within
30 minutes the jars were nice and solid and I loved it oh I love Kian butter
upon watching star Hildur she can search for 60 minutes so next time I can and
I'm only gonna can it for 60 minutes instead of the 75 but it's perfect
