The crock pot was clearly invented by a busy person. One a week I spend 3-4 hours in the kitchen chopping/ prepping item so that we can have nice dinner. The pot also gives us great flexibility when we have activities at night.

I hate how many time you need to touch each item. Think about it.. you need to pick it up to place in your cart, empty your cart at check out, put the bags back into your cart, put the bags into your car, take the bags out of your car and then put the items away. <em>234</em> Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:24:35 EST
