Do you have access to a freezer? I use a slow cooker a LOT, and cheap meat actually works better than the expensive stuff. Just throw everything in, with a lot of vegetables and an interesting sauce, leave it cooking all day. You can cook enough for about four or five meals easily, eat what you want, freeze the rest. A week's food for about 30 minutes work.
Heh yeah, I do that sometimes. Mostly with soup. And then I have bricks of soup. Not that appetizing but it does the job, once I unfreeze them.
But you know, it doesn't "feel" healthy either.
