I bought enough turkeys to fill the dead space in my freezer when they went on sale after thanksgiving. The were .99 a pound and a 12 pounder will make a couple meals for us plus a pot of soup and sandwiches for my lunchbox for the week.
You need to get on that neighbor with the fish ponds hood side. We’re eating on crappie, catfish, and saugeye filets from last spring. They’re pretty good eating and supposedly good for you.
We put two deer in the freezer this year, less than usual but we’ll get by. I may peel the backstraps out of a few pigs if they don’t smell too bad. They work good for pork and green chile burritos or for curing into Canadian bacon. And I shoot them in the bar ditches and what not so the input cost is low. We shot and ate some squirrels the other day and they sure were good, need to go get another mess.
And as you already know and 43 posters have said, my ancestors made it through the dust bowl on beans and cornbread. Don’t get much cheaper than that.
