Money Saving tip Tuesday....Slow cooker

* Picture from: homericecooker.com

Welcome to another edition of Money Saving tips.
In this edition I will be sharing some cool tips that won't break your bank, and will keep you smiling from ear to ear all the time.
Once again thank you for sticking around, for this First edition of Money saving tips for this December edition. I will be bring you different Money saving tip's daily on saving cash in your wallet, every Tuesday.
When it comes to eating healthier, but planning,shopping, and prepping these wholesome meals can be quite overwhelming, and get old really fast. So, who has the time and money to buy expensive ingredients and cook a full meal everyday? So, I am here to lead you a helping hand.
You're Slow cooker can save you a lot of money in the long run, which you will learn as you, continue to read as you go along.

1. Manage your time.

You do not want to come home after work long hours, and then come home to cooking for your family, or yourself. Prep the slow cooker in the morning, turn it on, and have a hot dinner waiting for you at the end of the day. Starting dinner early equals early bedtime and who doe not want that? I know I would enjoy that.

2. Going dry beans rather then canned

You're slow cooker is great for cooking dry beans- just soak them overnight in water (using baking soda), drain in the morning, add other ingredients, and flip the on switch. Dried beans tend to be inexpensive than Mr./ Mrs. can beans.

3. Energy saver

You're slow cooker actually uses less energy than Mr. stove range or oven.

4. Creating your own stock

Making your own stock is much easier than going store brought, especially when you have a slow cooker.

5. Thinking outside the box

Yes, your slow cooker is great for preparing breakfast to, and not just for making dinner or for those gatherings. (Hint: just prep what you're planing to have at night).

6. Cooking in bulk

Yes, buying your food in bulk is great to but; preparing all your meals at once is good to. After all the cooking is done allow to cool, and prep you're container or freezer bags for these meal's, and store them in the freezer or refrigerator. (Hint: if your planing to enjoy the next day, place one in the refrigerator).
