Using a slow cooker is one of my favorite ways to stay on my meal plan budget and ensure that when 5 p.m. rolls around and everyone walks through the door, starving, we have a hot meal ready and waiting. That means there’s no reason to dial 1-800-PIZZA!
Another of my favorites is leftovers. I love leftovers, and so do my family. When I make chicken stir-fry, my two daughters argue over who gets to take the leftovers for lunch–literally, there have been fights about it. (I now make sure to put aside two small containers of leftovers before I serve dinner so there is no fighting.)
Speaking of leftovers, I just found out through one of my affiliate networks about this adorable Crock-Pot Lunch Crock that’s perfect for taking a slow cooked meal to work or school. And right now, through Coupons.com, you can get a $5 off coupon (see below).
Considering these crocks cost close to $20, that’s like getting it for 25% off!
I did some research and found out that you get this product at Walmart, Target and Amazon
