Looking for a way to cut back on your grocery bill? Tyler says there could be a recession buster sitting on your kitchen shelf—a slow cooker.

"The great thing about a slow cooker—they cost about $25 to $30," he says. "You can make a delicious meal with inexpensive cuts of meat like pork shoulder or beef shoulder, and you can make beef stew."

Try Tyler's Slow-Cooked Barbecue Pork Shoulder sandwich.

The recipe saves time and money. "These sandwiches are $3.75 apiece, right? That plus a salad, dinner for four, under $20," he says. "It's five minutes of prep time, and then the whole thing cooks while you're at work or while you're out running errands."
