Yesterday, we were given a LOT of free meat. Our friends that purchased a local grocery store had a freezer go out. The meat didn’t thaw but they did have to sort through and get rid of some because they didn’t have room to keep it. Well it turns out that a lot of what they had purchased from the previous owner was past its expiration date. Since they couldn’t sell it they were giving it to whoever would be willing to take it. (Most of it was only two months past its expiration date.)
I filled the back of our 15 passenger van with 63 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts, 20 lbs. of boneless skinless butterfly cut chicken breasts, 80 lbs of chicken leg quarters, 20 lbs. of pork rib bits, nearly 60 packages of bacon and 36 lbs. hashbrowns. Everything was still in the unopened cases.
I am so excited! Our freezers are COMPLETELY full! What a wonderful blessing! I was even able to bless some other families. It was so fun to give some of it away!
Today I am canning chicken and pork ribs because I simply didn’t have enough room to put it in our freezers. In another post I will post my final totals of today’s canning. 🙂
Merry Christmas!
