Sur La Table is offering 25 percent off a single item through Monday, October 22, when you use code SAVE25 (some exclusions apply). This is a great deal, but a little tricky — you don’t want to waste it on something so inexpensive that you don’t really notice the discount. So the trick is finding something to buy that’s pricey and even a bit indulgent, but still useful.

Sur La Table’s Anniversary Sale is huge, with many items up to 70 percent off. And if you want to shop it, you’re in luck. As a final incentive they’re offering an additional 10% off hundreds of items plus free shipping on any order with no minimum purchase. In other words, they’re having a sale on their sale. You can browse discounted items by category, but in case you need some inspiration I’ve got holiday entertaining and cold-weather cooking on my mind.

Fall brings lots of fun reasons to get creative in the kitchen, from finding ways to warm up on chilly nights to hosting friends for the holidays. If your kitchen arsenal needs some more seasonal supplies, we have some good news: 20 percent off almost everything on their site with code FAMILY18. Here are five of our favorite buys perfect for fall. We love the long, narrow spout of this electric kettle, and the matte finish gives it a more traditional ceramic look.

Great for smaller kitchens, or even just sides.

Just in time to be your go-to for all of the cookie-baking and bread-making you’ll do this fall, the iconic KitchenAid Artisan Series stand mixer is currently 25 percent off at Amazon. Normally priced at $279, this workhorse can be yours for $209.99. Walmart is also selling the same model at a significant savings in classic white. If you haven’t been lucky enough to inherit one, now could be your best opportunity to pull the trigger on this timeless and versatile appliance.

With temperatures starting to drop, meet your new commuting and carpooling companion. Amazon is offering a great deal — over 60 percent savings — on this top-rated Zojirushi Stainless Mug. The 20-ounce mug, which normally retails for $50, is just $19 today. If you’re looking for something a little smaller, you can pick up a similar 16-ounce model for $17 (normally $25).

Just about every retailer has a branded credit card these days, but it’s much less common to find a company with a free rewards program that’s actually, you know, rewarding. Cost Plus World Market is one such store, and they’re offering 15 percent off regularly priced items through Friday, September 21, as part of their Member Appreciation Month program. Membership gives you perks like shipping discounts and exclusive sales, but this month of deals is reason enough to sign up.

Whenever websites have anniversary sales with deep discounts, I often get sensory overload and add a variety of colorful things I don’t need (e.g., blush-colored high balls, holiday-themed potholders) to my cart. As fun as those can be, however, at the end of the day the best investment is function and simplicity. So I was excited to see that Sur La Table has included many items from Duralex in their anniversary sale (check it out — some items are up to 70 percent off).

With fall officially here, you’ve likely seen an uptick in the number of warm, cozy recipes like soups and stews filling your feed. And if any of those recipes were first created in a Dutch oven, you’ll be able make them up to 70 percent faster in the Instant Pot. Less of a fad and more of a revelation, the Instant Pot is here to stay, and today you can get the the Instant Pot Duo for $80 at Target (normally $100).

As someone who proudly identifies as an appliance nerd, I’m often asked by friends and family what my favorite go-to kitchen tool is. Nine times out of 10 you’ll hear me tell them that it’s my trusty Nespresso machine. I’ve owned mine for five years and have even purchased one as a gift — that’s how much I stand by the convenience and quality of this product.

Browsing Anthropologie’s home section can feel like a metaphorical warm hug. Filled with colorful and eclectic items that promise a life of cozy comfort, I have a very hard time walking out of one of their stores without at least one item. So I was really excited to see that Anthropologie is offering an additional 30 percent off of sale items online. (Full discount is reflected once items are added to your cart.

Seemingly overnight, the leaves have started to change and we’re officially in my favorite season: fall. While I’m not one to adorn my doorstep with cornstalks or hay bales, I do like to add a few warm, homey touches to my home to greet me as the days get shorter. And now is the perfect time to add a couple of new accessories to your living space during World Market’s Friends & Family sale.

I’m a firm believer that for most kitchen jobs, you only really need one good knife. And if the last six months are any proof, the same is true for pans. If I had to scrap all of the pans I’ve collected (and invested in) over the years, just this one 10-inch Ballarini Parma pan would remain. After my last nonstick pan’s coating started to ripple and flake off, I got a little nervous and knew it was time to find a replacement.

One of our favorite kitchen product manufacturers has a great sale happening on Amazon right now. Chicago Metallic makes commercial-grade kitchen items with the home cook and baker in mind. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to see all the marked-down pieces in one place, but you can see them sprinkled in on the Chicago Metallic product page. With discounts up to 40 percent, this is a great time to stock up on some of their best-sellers.

Most of us — save for the super-hardcore — have officially bid farewell to iced coffee season. So if your first instinct is to complain when the temperature outside starts to drop, may we suggest treating yourself to a new insulated mug to help you cope with the chilly months ahead? We’ve rounded up a few stylish and functional insulated travel mugs, all of which are currently on sale. Bonus: Our top pick is almost half off (something that doesn’t happen very often!).

Two of Ninja Kitchen’s top-rated products are being featured on Amazon’s Deal of the Day for over 50 percent off, and they’re selling fast. At publication, just these two items remained, so act fast if you want to take advantage of these stellar deals. Compared to standard coffee makers, the Ninja Coffee Bar offers a ton of versatility.

Whenever there’s a deal on Vitamix we get excited because, well, it’s a Vitamix and every bit helps. Which is why our Monday got a little brighter when we aw you can save $100 on a Certified Refurbished Vitamix A2500 Ascent Series Smart Blender, normally $400. The deal runs until midnight P.T. Before you scoff at the word “refurbished,” remember that Vitamix’s refurbished program is pretty strict.

In an age when it feels like just about everything has been replaced by technology, the lazy Susan remains quietly unchanged — and as indispensable as ever. While there’s no shortage of choices of the useful cabinet or countertop helper on Amazon, we have a soft spot for this top-rated style from YouCopia. And it’s currently 30 percent off, coming in at just under $13. Before you ask “Why in the world do I need a lazy Susan?

The thought of a wireless, battery-charged vacuum is great in theory — it lets you go where a full-sized vacuum can’t go, whether that’s because there’s no access to power or you’re trying to clean a hard-to-reach area. But I recently made the decision to trash my battery-charged hand vac out of pure frustration. Even after charging it overnight, within minutes of using it, the pitch would drop and I’d notice the slow trailing-off of power and suction.

Amazon’s early Black Friday deals launched yesterday and if their early Prime deals are any indication, we’ll likely see an increase in big-name brands we love appearing in Amazon’s daily deals. Already, our predictions are proving right — today the KitchenAid Professional 6-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer is just over $200. Regularly priced at $280, until the end of the day you can pick up this kitchen workhorse for $209 in KitchenAid’s festive Empire Red color.

Around here, we enthusiastically celebrate any opportunity to save on All-Clad, one of our favorite high-end (and high price point) cookware brands.

Hosted by Home and Cooks Sales (you just need to provide your email address to view the sale), this promotion happens a few times a year and features a huge variety of All-Clad’s classic and specialty styles of cookware.

Amazon’s daily deals can be a great place to look for home essentials for less, but with around 1,000 sale items each day, it can be hard to wade through all the options. Which is why you’re so lucky that you have us to do it for you! And while the daily sales can be hit or miss, today we found three great items for home cooks. Hopefully by now you’ve taken advantage of some of the early Black Friday deals on KitchenAid stand mixers.

If you’ve ever used the holidays as an excuse to treat yourself while you shop for friends and family, you’re not alone. But if you’re not excited about the prospect of having to balance deals shopping with Thanksgiving travel, eBay is here with a great limited-time deal. They’re ending their 11 days of “first-minute” deals, and saved the best for last: a manufacturer-refurbished Dyson vac for up to 66 percent less than a new model.

Target’s Black Friday deals start at 5 p.m. today, but if you’re not super excited at the prospect of shopping on Thanksgiving, the deals are already launched online. That means you could buy a Kitchenaid stand mixer between the main course and dessert — and no one has to be any the wiser. See All Our Coverage of the Biggest Sales Week of the Year Here Many deals run through Saturday, but quantities are limited on many items.

Sur La Table is currently offering huge discounts on one of our favorite, high-end French cookware brands, Staub — on nearly every piece they carry. And while these brand-specific sales can sometimes be deceptive, with the biggest discounts being on impractical things like giant cookware sets, one of our top picks is one of the most discounted at 65 percent off. Check out the entire sale here.

As they’ve done in the past, throughout the month of December Target is featuring weekend-only sales in a variety of departments. So of course we’re especially excited that this weekend (that’s right — today and tomorrow only) they’re offering an additional 25 percent off kitchen appliances and cookware. We sorted through hundreds of items to bring you our top four picks so you can take advantage of these generous savings.

This year, instead of starting out with a bunch of resolutions tantamount to a complete overhaul of your life, why not find a few little ways to actually, sustainably set yourself up for some small victories? Because some of easiest-yet-most-impactful changes tend to start in the kitchen, we looked through Sur La Table’s clearance sale to find some ideas. What we came up with: three brilliant, inexpensive gadgets that will help you make better habits in the new year.

World Market is having a site-wide furniture sale, and we’ve found a few stylish picks to help you achieve (and maintain) order in your kitchen. While none of these items were traditionally designed for the kitchen, we think they’re a big upgrade to a lot of the more purpose-built storages solutions out there that too often lack style. They all serve the same purpose: to free up valuable storage and counter space so you can put your creativity to work when cooking and entertaining.

If you like the idea of having the option of making espresso and coffee with the touch of a button without needing two devices, now is a great time to save on two of Nespresso’s most versatile machines at Sur La Table. For those unfamiliar with Nespresso’s VertuoLine of espresso machines, think of it as getting two machines in one. The VertuoLine brews everything from single-serve espresso shots all the way up to a 14-ounce cup of coffee.

Have you ever been inspired to whip up a batch of fresh cookies, only to find that your brown sugar is a rock? Or perhaps you’ve taken a bite of granola that was more, um, chewy than crunchy? The tiny cardboard flap on many boxed pantry items does little to keep contents fresh, and throwing out rancid or stale food is wasteful and costly. So it’s no wonder we get excited when we come across an awesome innovation on an item as seemingly mundane as a storage container.

Not everyone is guaranteed a day off on Presidents’ Day, but we can all count on an abundance of sales from e-tailers and car dealers alike. During an otherwise sleepy season for the retail industry (at least once all of the chocolates and flowers have been sold), companies are promoting a ton of items prior to the spring sales. Target is offering some of the deepest discounts we’ve seen on a few of our favorite brands.

If your blender has ever burned out, jammed, or left you with chunks when you’ve tried to blend frozen ingredients or ice, today is your chance to upgrade to a blender that was designed specifically for this task. Amazon’s Deal of the Day is on this Ninja Smart Screen Blender from their Total Crushing line, and until midnight PST it’s only $62. The difference between this and other blenders is Ninja’s patented stacked blade design.

Would it surprise you to know that there’s a storage container with a very passionate fan base? Well, if you’ve been ignoring our pleas to ditch your wimpy plastic storage containers for the greener and arguably more versatile glass variety, Amazon is currently offering a great deal on five large premium glass containers. And based on the reviews, people really love them.

If you’ve ever missed out on a Vitamix sale and later regretted it, today you can redeem yourself. Amazon’s Deal of the Day features two full-sized Vitamix models, including one for nearly half off. Deal of the Day quantities are often limited, and come midnight PST, the sale will be over. So, really, what are you waiting for? We doubt you’ll ever see a Vitamix for $150 again.

We were already fans of DASH’s retro design and colorful range of kitchen products, but now we have another reason to shop: A few of their space-saving appliances are on sale right now on Amazon. We try not to promote anything that might be considered a one-trick pony, so your creativity is the only thing limiting you when it comes to what you make in any of these gadgets. If you need some inspiration, though, each of them comes with a convenient recipe guide.

Update: All-Clad has extended its 48-hour sale three more days, meaning you now have until Saturday, March 16, at 9 a.m. to shop. Home & Cook Sales is also offering 20% off a single item using code THANKYOU. Only one item can be in your cart at checkout for the code to apply. Classics like the stainless cookware are still in stock, and you can read about our three favorite unexpected finds below.

The days of poodle skirts and soda shoppes may be in the distant past, but retro-inspired home goods are still going strong. Some brands have firmly established themselves in this niche by making modern products that reflect the design elements of this era (think: pastel tones, pops of chrome, and curvy styling that mimics the cars of the ’50s).
