this might necessarily vary according to family size but here goes, shop at bulk stores,(ie Costco, Bjs etc.) we shop four times a year (we buy enough to last 3 months) for those who can't have a garden or raise their own animals canned goods are a good way to go, for those who cringe at canned products frozen is also good (if you have a deep freeze this is even better) buy fresh fruit and veggies direct if possible and freeze or can. Our only hitch is that we only eat fresh meat so that can be expensive but many freeze meat so again buy in bulk,(if you buy at one of the above stores, divide the meat into smaller freezer bags when you get home) date and label. We do our clothing shopping seasonally as well, for some as long as you have a strong closet already you only need to add one or two new things there are lots of clothing choices that can last for years. The trick for us is buying quality it might be a bit more expensive but they last longer and does not need to be replaced as often (with kids this might differ as they grow at astronomical rates in some cases) one of my sisters was in the habit of buying her son's school shoes a size over which i thought was nuts and unhealthy but she says it works.

Bud to dress a chix (this is assuming you're interested)

1) ring the chix neck/ cut it and let the blood drain out by holding it upside down
2)soak chix in hot water to cover until feathers are well soaked
3)remove chix from water and work against the grain to remove feathers (hold chix upside down and use fingers to peel feathers off)
now comes the fun part wash chix in cold water remove head if not already done make incision between legs and remove insides (you're on your own)
