I got tired of seeing my grocery bill go up so I decided to consult the experts on what to do. I consider the Tightwad Twins to be experts in frugal living. The twins were cheapskate before having frugal ideas became fashionable. Who am I kidding, being frugal is now a neccesity for all of us. So I consulted the twin’s book Saving Money with the Tightwad Twins: More Than 1000 Practical Tips for Women on a Budget by Ann Fox and Susan Fox. The twins have some very cheap fast recipes. Also eating at home is much cheaper than eating out. Some of these recipes call for a crockpot. You can purchase a good size one for about $20.00. Crockpots are great timesavers.

Vegatable soup - Dump leftover steak or hamburger meat into a crock-pot with 1 can of tomato juice, 2 cans mixed or frozen vegatables, leftover potatoes or 2 cans sliced pototatoes. Cook on low all day.

Easy Potato Soup - Dump canned whole or sliced potatoes in the crock-pot add any cream soup cook on low all day. Add salt too taste.

Homemade chicken noodle Soup - Dump cans of inexpensive chicken noodle soup with cans of chicken in a large pot on the stove. Cook on the stove on low until hot or this can be done in the crock pot on low all day.

I can tell you from personal experience that the cheapest soup, cheapest cut of meat or cheapest indgredients will taste so much better if cooked over a low heat for several hours. It really is amazing what slow cooking can do for cheap ingredients.
