Chicken for Dinner… Again?

January 6, 2007 by One Frugal Girl 1 Comment

When I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner tonight he said, “hmmm. chicken.” When I mentioned that we could eat burgers or steak his expression looked quite puzzled. In an effort to keep food expenses down we eat a lot of pasta and poultry. Apparently, so much pasta and poultry that he’s forgotten there were any other options to choose from.

Have I gone too far with my frugality? Is it a bad sign that my husband assumes we’ll be eating chicken for dinner, rather than steak or burgers. Is it a bad sign that all of the meat in the house was given to us by my mother-in-law? It’s true, both the ground beef and steaks in the freezer were gifts from my mother-in-law. I can’t even remember the last time I purchased meat. Maybe my frugality has gone too far?

    In fairness to my mum, the ground beef and most of the steaks came from a farmer our family knows. She didn’t give us the ground beef and steaks because she thinks OneFrugalGirl malnourishes me – she gave them to us because she had too much for her and my Dad to eat! ๐Ÿ™‚

    OneFrugalGirl keeps me well nourished and happy. Go OneFrugalGirl!
