[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 552165, member: 9177"] I know this week, our local Aldi stores have a 7-quart oval crock pot for $20. I have a crockpot (a cheapie one that I've been using for YEARS with no trouble), but there are many times when I really could use two. I can't imagine life without one! As far as cheap, easy meals... WalMart has 10-pound bags of chicken leg quarters (thigh and leg still attached) for way cheap - less than $1 a pound. I use these ALL the time for all kinds of different things. My current favorite way to use them is to season them with my seasoning mix (I mix up a large batch of kosher salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, and rosemary and keep it in old seasoning containers to use for whatever), throw them in an oiled baking dish skin-side up, and bake them. I cut up potatoes (skin on), toss with olive oil and my seasoning mix, and roast them alongside the chicken. Steam up some frozen veggies, and it's a meal. You can bake up all the leg quarters and use the leftovers for chicken salad, chicken soup, chicken pot pie, chicken and dumplings, etc. Another go-to meal for us is frozen ravioli. I prefer cheese, husband prefers beef - either is pretty cheap. Throw them, still frozen, in a casserole dish, dump in some sauce, cover, and bake. [/QUOTE]
