Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

It's forever stew! Just keep the thing boiling, you're good.
I did this for a while when I was on apprenticeship wages. Walk past a shop on my way home from work and get some combination of root veg. Ideally what ever they had reduced. Sometimes got bread or reduced meat too.
Then when I got home, stew is ready to eat so put some into a bowl and eat that. After eating, chop up what ever I bought and straight into the slow cooker. Or in the case of bread have that with the stew when serving. Doesn't matter if its a bit stale the next day because the stew softens it up.
I'm not sure the electricity I'd use for that would be cheaper than the money I might save on food.
Bills were included in my rent so I paid the same regardless of what I used. Also slow cooker don't use much, wonder if you could insulate it for better efficiency though?
"... baby, you've got a stew goin'! And goin'! And goin'!..."
