I actually found a crockpot at the Burlington Coat Factory for only 10 bucks. Great buy, yummy food.

I loved the white chicken chili I recently tried from this website!! I wouldn’t mind having a programable slow cooker since most recipes are 3-5 hrs and I am at work for most of the day, but I have found my cooker do be very handy!!

You have me at frugal.

This site is a great resource, and a godsend for anyone looking for ways to further stretch their dollar. As a struggling student, I give you so many props for how disciplined you are.

I have one of the original rival Crock Pots from 1976. It still works like a champ! I use it at least once a week making anything from roasts, stews, soups, stuffings, vegetable or bean dishes, or for holding food warm at potlucks. Many of the cookbooks mentioned here are fantastic. I highly recommend them. I love your website!

Agree with Rosa, electricity consumption is high if the pot is on 6-8 hours. I am a new reader Kerry, love the site.

I love crock pots!!

They are so easy, and the food that becomes the finished product is so hearty!
Do you know if there are crock pots out that turn to “keep warm” automatically? I just find sometimes that the hours to cook are awkward e.g. 6 hours on a high setting (I work 8-9 hour days)- I don’t want anything burning…

Found my (hardly ever used) slow cooker at a garage sale for a couple of bucks. Didn’t think I would use it that much as I’m vegan, but then ran across Robin Robertson’s Fresh From The Vegetarian Slow Cooker! Great book, plus she includes vegan substitutes when necessary.

I found mine at the Salvation Army when I shopping after moving. I’ve had it for over 12yrs. They last forEVER like the used Osterizer blender I bought, AGAIN for less than $5 at the Salvation Army. Tell all of your children moving out or going to college to get their first stuff at donation used shops because they end up lasting into a marriage and family.
