Cindy in NY: you are so correct. I was thinking about this in the past few days. One area we have not discussed is ways on cooking can add costs. For example, a boiled egg requires the water to boil for 10 minutes, whereas a fried egg takes less time. Can we discuss methods of cooking for cheaper menus?

1) I agree the crock saves time and makes great meals
2) last year, with the help of the savers on this site, I bought a toaster/oven and find I save alot not using my gas oven
3) the microwave is quick and easy.

What say all of you? Lets discuss cooking something in a way most won't think of to save.
