I was well-acquainted with the nutritional benefits of stock made from the roasted bones. My mother had been a big believer. As a result, I was also well-acquainted with how easily (and inexpensively) I could make an enormous vat of the stuff at home. I might pay five bucks for an overpriced chai latte, but dropping a ten on broth? I was far too frugal for that nonsense.
