My Little Puni posted:I've been looking for a good cheap rice cooker or crock pot becaue that seems to be a good idea. I love pot roast so hopefully I'll find a good one. A slow cooker will probably help a lot. Pot roasts, chicken thighs, all sorts of things can be cooked in one. And in large portions for left overs. Other Ideas: Oatmeal - Takes about 5-10min on the cooktop. Add some frozen berries (buy in bulk when on sale) and sugar or maple syrup for low effort meals. Eggs - Fry, poach or scramble and place on bread, potatoes, legumes etc. Frittatas make for decent leftovers. Meatloaf - If ground beef isn't usually on sale buy in bulk and freeze when it is on sale. It also doesn't require a lot of prep work. Maybe 10-15min to gather and mix the ingredients then let it bake for an hour in the over. I make about 2kg at a time and have meals for a week. Peanut butter - I find it more convenient that eating raw peanuts, but those could work too. Cheese - Can be added to many things or eaten as a snack. Like milk, should be fairly cheap per calorie. A big thing that will help is to avoid eating 'snack' food. If you always have leftovers available or ingredients for a quick meal you will save a lot on fast/junk food. Legumes, cheese, nuts, eggs are all going to be cheaper (and better for you) than a bag of chips or something similar.
