Soiled Meat
Posted this in the general thread, but what are they ways that you all save money on cooking while leaving room to be creative? My wife got laid off this week so our food budget is shrinking, and while she's accepted that she's going to have to learn to love leftovers at my level, I'd like to keep things varied in the kitchen as best I can. My first thought was to get a bunch of meat at a bulk discount, slow cook and shred it on the weekend, and then mix that into whatever I cook during the week. Another idea would just be spend all day Sunday cooking two or three big pots of something, portioning them out into the freezer, and then telling her to just grab what she wants during the week.

Cheap and delicious. Hits that "I want to make bread" itch without too much effort. Makes soup a meal!

drat that looks tasty, how'd you do it?

I got my current crock pot for $3 in a garage sale and it:s probably at least as old as I am, yet she's still going strong. As long as all of the external electrical parts look OK I don't see a reason to be overly paranoid. Maybe run it a couple times when you know you'll be home as a test run?
