Just read that a single rotisserie chicken can make FOUR separate meals for a family of two

I saw this on a food budget blog yesterday and had to check my own grocery math. They broke it down: night one is chicken and rice, night two is chicken noodle soup, night three is chicken salad sandwiches, and night four is a broth from the carcass. I always just ate the legs and wings and tossed the rest, which feels crazy now. Has anyone else tried stretching one chicken this far and did it actually work?

Yeah, it totally works. I do the soup and broth thing every time now.

Honestly, my grandmother swore by that exact four-meal plan.

My grandma swore by a five martini lunch and unfiltered cigarettes, so maybe we should question these old family health tips. The four meal plan sounds like just eating normal food but giving it a fancy name. Soup and broth is fine, but it's basically just lunch with extra steps. People act like they found some secret, but they're just describing dinner. If it works for you, great, but let's not pretend it's ancient wisdom. It's just eating.
