If you haven’t purchased an Instant Pot yet I highly recommend it.  It is a great investment that will help you save a ton of money in the long run.  Most people spend a bulk of their money on food and don’t even realize it.  When we all have busy hectic schedules sometimes it’s easier to just grab whatever is quick and convenient.  When we do this multiple times in the week it can cause you to go over budget fast.  If you invest in an Instant Pot and learn a few quick and easy recipes like our 5 fast Instant Pot recipes for weeknight dinners you can save money on dinner and have leftovers for lunch the next day!

 

We use the 8qt. Instant Pot for all of our Instant Pot meals.
