That is nice point to bring up.

I looked longingly at the whole lambs yesterday, lots about for Greek Easter but at a minimum of $75 a lamb and lamb not being my favourite meat, it didn't seem worth the work. Funny you should mention anatomy, J loves watching me work with the meat and talking about where it comes from. I hope you're feeling better now. A well stocked freezer is such a life saver isn't it? I guess not having that is where people resort to take away when things fall apart. That would be a lot harder on the budget than spending an extra hundred to get ahead for a few months.

I can only imagine the cooking and packing work in your kitchen after that. We grew up a little like that - shopping and cooking in bulk - bulk buying groceries once a month, then the days following "killing day" were an endless process of mincing, cutting and packing meat (there's an awful lot of meat on a full grown bullock...). It was lots of fun for a curious child - discussing anatomy, learning to understand why meat cuts were tender or tough, and being part of the process of feeding your family. I'm absolutely with you on spending next week's budget this week to buy bargains... it makes our budget work and keeps us well fed when things are a bit busy; the last few weeks we've virtually lived out of the freezer on meals I cooked up a month ago, supplemented by salad from the garden and steamed veg. It's not how I'd want to live permanently, but it's been a huge help while I've been sick and busy, and means we can still eat well during the crazy times :) What a fantastic haul Dani!!
