{Budgeting and saving money by slow cooking}

I'm sure you are all like me and love to save a little cash! I've found some fun ways to save by using the slow cooker!

Here are a few tips to get you started..

+Make your own broth when you can. Save whats left of your chicken carcass and boil or slow cook with water and some veggies...don’t forgot the salt. Freeze what you don’t use.
+Use leftovers to make meals all week. For example, roast a chicken and use it in dishes for a few nights.
+You can save money on your grocery budget by buying cheaper cuts of meat because slow cooking will tenderize your meat and make it delish.
+Save money on broth and use water instead. Slow cooking extracts more juice from the meat.
+Use dried beans in bulk instead of canned..its cheaper...buy dry rice in bulk too!
+Make foods like fried rice yourself instead of ordering take out
+For you mamas out there, make your own baby food! We all know how expensive pre-made baby food can be.
+make foods like yogurt and granola yourself
