My slow cooker changed how I make cheap meals

I used to buy those $5 frozen dinners for work lunches, but my friend in Denver gave me her old Crock Pot last year. Now I make a big batch of bean chili for about $8 that lasts me all week. What's your favorite cheap thing to cook in a slow cooker?

My go-to is a 3-pound pork shoulder for under ten bucks.

Used to skip pork shoulder, but @val_fox has me sold now.

Pork shoulder is that big of a deal? It's just a cheap cut of meat.
