These 10 healthy Crock Pot recipes all look so good, and they all cost less than $1 per serving. Great meal planning resource for a frugal grocery budget!DisclosureThe Crock Pot was a brilliant invention. Nobody wants to cook dinner when they’re hungry and the people around them are cranky. Making dinner with a slow cooker allows you to prepare the meal ahead of time when the pressure of 6 p.m. is still far off.

We all want to keep our food budgets within reason, and the slow cooker is a great resource for keeping homemade dinners affordable. These 10 healthy Crock Pot recipes each cost less than $1 per serving to make. By adding just one of these recipes to your meal plan each week, you’ll be able to bring down your grocery spending.

Many of these recipes yield 8 servings, so a family of four can get a backup meal by making them. Having a well-stocked freezer is the best defense against caving in and ordering take-out for dinner.

I used my price chart to evaluate the cost per serving for most of these recipes . Your costs will vary, but this gives you a sense of the prices you can expect to pay for these recipes. My price chart includes some organic ingredients and some conventional ingredients. Even if you upgrade to all organic ingredients, your cost per serving won’t go much above $1. If you grow some of your own produce, your costs will come down quite a bit for many of these recipes.

  4. I haven’t used my slow cooker much this fall/winter, but you’ve definitely inspired me with all these yummy recipes! I think they might cost a little more to make here in San Diego b/c of our sunshine tax :-), but STILL very economical-love it! Now to decide which recipe to start with…
