Besides eating meals from the freezer, the other way I plan to keep home cooked meals on the table during those first few months with a newborn in the house is to make good use of my crockpot.
Last year, I purchased a new crockpot for only $15 during Black Friday sales, but this year there may be an even better deal since there’s a $5.00 rebate on any slowcooker priced $24.50 or higher. The rebate expires on December 15, 2009, so you could hold onto it and check out the Black Friday sales to see what kind of a deal you could get.
Thanks, Kansas City Penny Pinchin’ Mama.
