I don't know what kind of deal this is, but Costco has these little mini green beans, that are DEEEEEliscious.  I look at them every time I'm there (they're right beside the Manns Peas that I also get), but we've never gotten them before.  Mostly because the quantity is huge for 2 people.  

  So with the fabulous 'green bags', we thought we'd give them a try.  

  Anyways....they are a good deal for the amount you get, and they really are good.

Oh, my mom brought those ones and she made them for me when I was there last and they were yummy!  She buys them all the time now.  

  I don't buy them because we don't end up eating green beans every day so I end up buying the organic green beans in the frozen section.  They are super delicious.  I follow the recipe on the back of the package.

If anyone is looking for a slow cooker, The Bay, Metrotown is selling the Hamilton Beach brand for $35 regularly $90.  It's 6 quart, I think.  We needed a new one because the one we had was over 17 years old (grandma gave it to us) and the heating element was starting to slow down.  

Looks like this:

That looks like an awesome deal.  I've been looking for a new one for a long time....but I'm looking for a small one.  They are hard to find.  The couple small ones that I've found are teeny and cheap.  If you ever come across a good small one....let me know.  

[purelife]

Are you looking for a 4-quart size, P.C.?  You're right that they are harder to find.  I wonder why it's so difficult.

We have a 4 quart but I was thinking that this 6 quart could make lots of lunches for work.  And I read that many meals freeze nicely.  I honestly don't know where I'm going to put this one as we barely have any space in the cupboards.

I bought a silly little one for like $60 with no fancy gadgets. What you have there is a good deal!

[P.C.]

I'm not sure what the quart size would be....but the one I have is perfect for two.

  I love those appliance garages....VERY nice.  I don't even have the space for those, but they are nice in that you can keep the appliances on the counter, but out of  sight.

 

  An alternative to that, if you can spare a lower cupboard, is to get the hardware that 'cantilevers' them up on a shelf.

Nope....not so good.  You can get rice cookers.  I've never seen the value in them, as it's too simple to cook in a pot on the stove.  Once you figure out your timing and temp....you'll get perfect rice consistently every time.

lol.  Yes....an appliance to turn something as simple as boiling water into a twelve step process.  Not to mention clean-up.
