  So that is 2 to 3 dollars per litre? For boiled up scraps? They must be kidding.

  Any real aussie bargainer makes his own.
  get a 10l pot, throw in that chicken carcass, left overs and beef bones. Add some carrot, celery, whatever.
  Simmer overnight, strain and freeze portions. And it can be a lot more concentrated than the watery shop stuff.
  And you made it yourself.

    I could also grow my own veges, rear chooks and all that. But i choose to go to a supermarket. Nothing against your suggestion, but hey i like the convenience

      true, but stock? it's all machine made, may as well just buy powdered stock instead of paying for water?

      Keeping chooks for fresh eggs is not such a bad idea, if you have space, but stock is dead easy.
      Takes very little time if you do it while cooking other things.
      Veggies can be a lot of work for limited return - but a herb garden is great.

      My Dad had a cow in the back yard for milk when he was a kid :-) And no, he did not live on a farm.

    because it would cost you more in electricity/gas to boil it up!
    I don't have any chook carcasses lying around, Can i substitute the neighbours cat who keep digging up my garden?

      Cat makes excellent stock. Be sure to gut it first.

    IMO Campbells stock tastes pretty bad too, ruins good home cooking. If I'm looking for convenience I use Massel ultracubes, just add my own water instead of buying Campbells.

  Someone …. I think it was Choice(? ) did tests on these liquid stocks and found they were no more than the liquid version of stock cubes - not a hint of 'real' stock in there. Cubes are far better value.
