Every family should learn to use a slow cooker! It's a huge help!

Working full-time while my wife’s pregnant meant takeout was eating our budget alive. One month, I just started hitting Aldi with a strict list and grabbed slow cooker staples—chicken thighs, canned tomatoes, beans and potatoes, and veggies as well. Tossed everything in the crockpot before work, and dinner was ready when I got home. And the taste is rather great, if you use some tasty sauce like curry and tomato pasta, or just black pepper. No more last-minute pizza runs. We cut our food bill by $300 that month, and I barely spent 20 minutes prepping each night. #Quick meal #Kitchen tools #budget eats #Food
