Slow cooker meats? (aussie.zone)

Hey all, been looking at YouTube slow cooker recipies on YouTube and I know meat over here is super expensive, but does anyone know if some of these cheaper cuts exist? Colesworth never seem to have any these days, and I think I’ve only seen gravy beef once at Aldi which I’m guessing is the best thing. Any idea where I’d get something that’s happy to site in the slow cooker for 8 hours that won’t cost me a kidney?

Take my Stroganoff for example. I take 1kg of chuck, season HEAVILY and put it in a frying pan so it develops a really nice maillard, deglaze with half a litre of beef stock and put it in the slow cooker with a bag of the frozen pre chopped onions and a 375gram bag of prechopped mushrooms, and 3 of those powdered recipe sachets (I think we use the Maggi ones) then leave it for about 6 to 8 hours. Dump in a whole tub of light sour cream and thats it.

The thing is its so heavy and rich, it goes great with brown rice, mashed potatos or with pasta and thats enough to feed 8 to 10 people.
