Recently divorced and now living on one income, I have surprisingly found out how economical slow cooking is. For example, the cuts of meat that I purchased to slow cook are less expensive than the costly tender cuts I used to buy for grill or stove top recipes. Another fact that I found - using my slow cooker requires as much electricity as cooking a quick meal on the stove. Additionally, my budget is kept under control because I can buy key ingredients in bulk- I then store and or freeze until I’m ready to slow cook again.
