I put 2-3 times a week but often I am using several crock pots at a time on just one day. I actually have 5 crock pots! I have a large oval one that I cook meat in. A large round "soup and bean" crockpot. 2 medium size side dish crock pots. And one small one that I use for gravy. I like to have company but prefer to have every thing prepared ahead. I need this help too since I have goats to milk often right before company arrives. With the CP's I can do things like make the gravy and put in my little crockpot to keep warm until company arrives. I also use crockpots a lot for the Sabbath (Friday night to Saturday night). I like to cook but don't cook on the Sabbath. I put Saturday's lunch (and sometimes breakfast) in crockpots on Friday evening to cook overnight to be ready for us the next day.

I put in less than once a month but am going to start using it more.

everytime i try to make something in my crockpot it doesn't turn out right. i don't know if it's me or my crockpot or if i just haven't found a great recipe yet???

I love my crockpot! I would use it everyday if I could.

Cookin’ in the crock pot is a great money saver for us. We live rural and on the day we go to town, we utilize the crock pot. It is so nice to have dinner ready and waiting as we are unloading our groceries and such. Also we like to use this method of cooking for Sunday lunches. It is so easy to use, just stuff the crock, turn it on and come home to a nice pot roast or whatever you wish. One of our favorites is http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Pepper-Steak/Detail.aspx add garlic, use low sodium soy sauce and put the peppers in the last 30 min. of cooking.
Tammy I hope it is okay to put a link to another recipe site here….

I use mine 2-4 times per week during the school year. Things are hectic enough without having to mess with making dinner! That way we have a good, healthy, frugal, and pleasant dinner after sports practice or whatever!

I'm a never. My crock pot is a tiny one from my single days, so it's really only good for dips or appetizers. A full size slow cooker is on my list of things to scout out at garage sales, but no luck so far.

when I do use it it takes up counter space

I use my crock all the time. I voted 2 or 3 times a week. This is based on the months that I use it the most, which is in the fall/winter and parts of spring. I don't use it as much in the summer months because I do a lot more grilling outside during those months. Our crockpot is a life saver. I can put my meals in it and forget about them until dinner time. This means I can go off and shop or do whatever for the day. It is also quite handy when I have a lot of chores and gardening too. It stretches our budget because I can use cheap cuts of meat in it and they turn out wonderful every time.
