I have been making a slow cooker "chili" that I really like and is really cheap + healthy for me. I have switched to buying almost exclusively canned vegetables to reduce my costs and find I get the same taste/quality. Each meal costs me about $10 to make and I can stretch it out across 4 or 5 days when I pour it over rice.

Here is the ingredients list. Items can be added/removed to your tastes:

• 1 lb of ground chicken or turkey (my local grocery stores in Canada sell 4 lb value packs for $10)
• 1 can of diced tomatoes (preferably chili-style since they include herbs/spices)
• 1 can of corn kernels
• 1 can of mushrooms
• 1 can of olives
• 1 can of beets
• 1 diced onion
• 1 cup of pre-cooked chick peas
• Lots of spices in amounts as you desire. I use garlic powder, pepper, beef broth cubes, crushed red pepper, paprika, poultry seasoning and chili powder

I season and cook the ground meat first, then put everything into the slow cooker for 8 hours. Don't drain any of the liquid from the cans, just dump everything in and cook.

I wanted to share a finding I had this year with WealthSimple Tax and share it here for archiving purposes for the future.

I purchased my first home last year and withdrew all funds from my FHSA in 2025. After entering all my FHSA forms/details in WealthSimple Tax when submitting this year's return, I noticed that it does not automatically add any amount for the Home Buyers Amount (line 31270).

You will need to use the "Manage tax forms" section and search for "Home Buyers Amount" and manually claim the $10,000 amount. I thought it would figure this out on its own given that it pulled all my T4FHSA forms from MyCRA, but that is not the case.
