The local ironmongers store has a slow cooker on sale - Morphy RIchards 3,5L for £20 - is this a good price?? A good size for 2 people for at least 2 meals each??

    Hi odds,

    I bought the 6.5ltr MR slow cooker yesterday (there are five of us) and while I was there I had a look at the 3.5ltr. I think it would be ideal for two people with enough left over for another time. £20 is cheaper than the rrp but it's cheaper still in Argos at the moment.

    I have just ordered the 6.5L MR off of amazon reduced from £34.99 - £24.99
    There are 4 of us, my mum has the 3.5L it is great for her and tenage daughter makes plenty....

    I put a wanted ad on freecycle for a slow cooker and a lovely lady gave me one that she had sitting in her cupboard that she didn't use any more. Its worth a try!

    I gave one away on freecycle too, I got it free with an online order but it was too small for us. The person I gave it to wanted it for his brother who was a student and would be chuffed to bits.
