I’m a “Pro” Bargain Hunter and This Is the Best Kitchen Deal I’ve Seen All Season (It’s Perfect for Gifting!)

I’ll admit it: I’m cheap. I refuse to pay full price for anything and will search the internet for days to find the best deal on an item. There’s something about hunting for a bargain that thrills me, and it’s a trait I inherited from my parents. When I was growing up, they only bought items on sale, and in multitudes.  If tomato paste was on major markdown, my father grabbed 16 cans. If a sweater’s price was slashed, my mother bought one in every color — and a few extra to give as gifts.

Anyway, ‘tis the season for finding steals, as retailers keep rolling out their finest sales leading up to Christmas. One of the best deals I’ve come across in recent weeks is the Appliance Suite from Our Place’s sitewide Holiday Sale. It includes two of my personal favorites, the Wonder Oven and Dream Cooker, plus the popular Splendor Blender, all for $395. At first glance, that might seem steep, but here’s the thing: If you purchased each item separately on sale, the cost would be $459, so you are saving an extra $64 by bundling them. And here’s a pro tip from this bargain hunter: If you don’t keep this beautiful bundle for yourself, you have three top-notch small appliances you can give out as holiday gifts.  

Best known as the brand behind the Always Pan, Our Place also makes game-changing appliances, including the Wonder Oven, Dream Cooker, and Splendor Blender, which make up the Appliance Suite. I can’t stop raving about the Wonder Oven ($175, normally $195) and have been recommending it to everyone for the past year. The 6-in-1 appliance, which can toast, roast, bake, air fry, broil, and reheat, is my go-to for quick and easy meal prep, and it’s pretty much replaced my regular oven. The Dream Cooker ($185, normally $199), which has Pressure Cook, Sauté/Sear, Slow Cook, and Keep Warm settings, has also streamlined my meal-prep routine, allowing me to whip up chili, pasta dishes, and even Rice Krispies treats with minimal supervision or effort. The 1,000-watt Splendor Blender ($99, normally $125) is a kitchen workhorse that can be used for crushing ice, creating silky soups and chunky salsas, and mixing up refreshing smoothies. Best of all, the Appliance Suite trio comes in all four of Our Place’s signature colors: Steam, Spice, Blue Salt, and Char.

“This is the best air fryer and toaster oven! I love that it’s stylish and space saving! I never thought we’d use the air fryer as much as we do. I highly recommend!” — Kris M.

“This dream cooker has been an amazing addition to my kitchen. I can throw a slow cooker recipe in there and have beautiful tender chicken for dinner time. Or use the pressure cooker, which is a total revelation to me, a great time saver. For someone who wants to cook fresh meals each day this is really helping my goals.” — Harriet F.

“I make smoothies every day post workout and this blender works fantastic! I love the auto blend feature and the consistency it creates. Highly recommend!” — Jennifer K.

As I mentioned, each item in the bundle will change your kitchen routine for the better. Since getting the Wonder Oven and Dream Cooker, I actually find myself cooking more because both appliances are so convenient, versatile, and speedy. As a result, I’ve cut down on food waste, since uncooked produce and leftovers no longer languish in my fridge for a week. I don’t yet own the Splendor Blender, but I know it would get just as much of a workout as its counterparts (no pun intended).

The Appliance Suite trio makes an amazing addition to any kitchen, and the individual pieces also make impressive gifts. You might want to give the Wonder Oven to your grandparents, the Dream Cooker to a couple who just moved into their first apartment, and the Splendor Blender to that friend who’s a smoothie fanatic. No matter what you decide, this deal is worth snagging ASAP.
