Cheaper Per Pound Sausage

If you come across a ground chicken, ground turkey, or ground pork bargain you might want to consider making your own breakfast or Italian sausage.  It can be cheaper and healthier than what you can buy at the store.

This week I found chicken breast on sale for 99 cents/ pound. After I grind it myself, I am going to make Italian because we recently found a great deal on breakfast.
