Purchasing Tip #1: How to Save Money on Chicken Fajitas
Many summer camps purchase prepared fajita chicken for their fajitas. We recommend using a boneless and skinless random chicken breast instead. Minimal slicing is required. The recommended product contains no preservatives. Best of all, the savings are substantial: the boneless skinless random breasts cost approximately 70% less than the prepared fajita chicken. There are also many other applications for boneless skinless breasts so there is little chance of waste.

Kitchen staff must follow careful handling practices in handling this product and always use ServSafe practices in preparation of fresh raw chicken.

Purchasing Tip #2: Bulk Pack Cereal Can Save You Lots of Money
There is more to the cost of food than the price of the products you purchase. Sometimes you can realize savings by changing your pack size/serving options. One option developed by H&H – bulk pack cold cereal – offers great savings. Cereal is the most popular food taken in the morning day part and is nearly every summer camp’s #1 food item. You can save up to 75% on this important food item by ordering bulk pack cereal. Many of H&H's clients are using bulk cold cereal and realizing substantial savings. They like the product and LOVE the savings. Of course, if you are already using bulk cereal from a non-H&H vendor, then switching to the H&H program is a "no brainer." The ordering information is in your purchasing book and available online through PurchaSoft. If savings are a priority, then bulk pack cereal may be something to consider.
