Ok, so I went to this restaurant last night and ordered some chicken wings.
Thank goodness it was happy hour because they were 50% off totaling $4.
50 plus tax.
(Savings $4.
50) OK so the waitress brings them over and it was only an order of six! OMG I was tripping out you mean to tell me if it wasn't happy hour I would be paying$1.
66 per wing, woe! I am HUGE fan of chicken wings, in fact I order them any place I go so I can determine who has the best ones.
The least expensive price I can find in bulk through any restaurant breaks down to about .
50 per wing (huge savings over $1.
66) but if you planned on getting some for a sports party or event you are hosting this could get expensive.
So I headed to the store to see how much I could save if I made them myself.
Here we go..
...
I bought a huge bag of frozen wings for $11.
85 nearly 160-170 uncooked wings some deep frying oil for $8.
00 and 5 different hot sauces for $13.
00.
I happen to have a deep fryer but if you don't you can just use a frying pan and oil.
Whichever method you decide to use just make sure to preheat your oil to 375 degrees, cook the wings (not all at one time) for 12-15 minutes, remove and put on one of your five sauces.
You don't only have a variety of sauces and wings to eat you have saved a bundle! Let's do the math - we were paying $1.
66 per wing, then .
50 Per wing ($1.
16 savings) and now with a little effort, savvy shopping, and creativity we not only have so many different flavors of wings we are only paying .
20 cents a wing! A savings of $233.
60 from the first restaurant and $48 from other restaurants.
What a great deal.
Be sure to check your local store that sells in bulk for the bag that I am referring to.
Thanks for reading and good luck!
