Bambu-
What do you consider to be a good size (in quarts)? I want to make soups and stews that will be enough for a dinner for 4 plus some leftovers the next day...

My crockpot is huge, I do not know how many quarts, but with 5 to feed and wanting leftovers, I have a large crock pot. It was super cheap, a day after Thansgiving sale item that has lasted me forever. It has a wonderful ceramic insert that is dishwasher safe, can go in the refrigerator, and the microwave. It has 2 settings, high and low. My crock pot is about 10 years old and still works great.

Lisa- You probably need the 3 quart size, which should be plenty big enough for 4, plus leftovers. That is considered the standard size crockpot. The big one that BMof3 is referring to is the 5 quart size, which is really big.

Am I the only person who keeps misreading this thread title to say "Crack pot ideas?"

Love the crockpot....
Lisa - be sure you get one with a removable liner, and if possible a glass vs. plastic lid. The removeable liner is key for cleaning, and the glass lid is important if you think you will EVER need to put the liner in the oven. I bake beans from scratch, and use my crockpot liner in the oven for this purpose. A plastic lid wouldn't work for me.
That said, the standard size should serve you well for soups and stews for 4 people plus leftovers.
The best thing about the crockpot? Throw food in. Go for nice long ride. Come home to dinner!

Corckpot Liners
For those of you who have a crockpot that does not have a removable ceramic liner, look for plastic crockpot liners at the grocery store. My store has them in the aluminum foil/plastic wrap section. They are a disposable plastic bag (like those oven cooking bags) that you place in the crockpot before you put the food in. It works like a charm!
