BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, plastic food storage that doesn’t leak and is easy for even little fingers to open? That would be Lock & Lock food storage, and while it’s worth every penny, there’s no need to pay full price. Right now Amazon has the 18-container set (mostly small containers; great for lunches) for just $29.99 (43% off), or go for the 16-container set (many larger containers) for just $37.99 (49% off). Or get both sets and throw out your old containers that are missing lids.

Either way, it’s a great deal!

Sure, you’re already scooping up the various summer clearance sales going on right now—why not stock up in the next size or two, while the getting’s cheap?—but even non-seasonal stores are hopping on the seasonal bandwagon. Don’t ask me to explain; just go with it.

Like this: Right now Oneida is having their summer clearance, and it means unbeatable deals on everything from silverware to baby shower gifts. Shipping is a flat $2.99 per order, or free if you spend $99+. And to make it even better, coupon code RETME11 takes an additional 11% off any clearance item, while code BABY takes an additional 20% off baby items.

The bottom line is some really great deals, seasonal or no.

Whether answering the call of, “Mom, we’re huuuuungry!” or throwing a little Summer soiree to celebrate the longer days and gorgeous weather, you can’t go wrong with Stacy’s pita chips and bagel chips. And right now at Amazon, if you qualify for their grocery coupons, there’s an available $6 off coupon on a variety of eligible Stacy’s products, giving you a simple way to pick up a case of the snack everyone loves for less.

Clip the coupon, pick your favorite product (which is likely already on sale), then buy it via Subscribe & Save to get free shipping and even more savings (you can cancel S&S any time, so it’s not a binding commitment to further purchases). Several of our favorites come out to around $2/bag, which is not only cheaper than my grocery store, I never even had to leave my desk to get it.

I was visiting my college roommate a few weeks ago and she asked if I wanted some wine. She opened a bottle of red, and then proceeded to pour it through a glass contraption. I asked her what it was, and she told me that it was an instant aerator. GENIUS.

If your kids love “squishy applesauce” the way mine do, you know that it can be kind of pricey unless you buy it on sale. Enter Amazon: Right now you can snag a 48-pack of the GoGo squeeZ Appleberry pouches for just $21.13 shipped when you buy via Subscribe & Save. That’s just $.44/pouch for a full serving of fruit that kids love.

You could dole them out this summer, if you like, but I think I’ll hide mine when they arrive—I’ll be all set for school lunches in the fall!

So many people I know have been raving about Joy The Baker’s cookbook and I have to admit that I … hadn’t heard of her. I have been missing out! And, I need her cookbook. Not want, NEED.

Sure, in the best of all possible worlds, you always bake from scratch. But let’s face it; sometimes there just isn’t time. If you must make brownies from a box mix, you could do a lot worse than this delicious 4-pack of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix, currently under $8 shipped when you buy it at Amazon via Subscribe & Save.

This is the gourmet stuff, usually priced at 3-4 times this much. This isn’t just a great deal, it’s a delicious great deal!

I’ve become a tea granny (again) in the last year. Tea was my warm beverage of choice growing up and then once I had kids I switched to coffee in the hopes that it would give me a little extra energy. After a bout of “sensitive stomach” last spring, I switched back to tea, preferably green. I realized last week that steeping it in a tea pot (as opposed to in my mug) would be great, but … I don’t have a tea pot. I mentioned this on Twitter and immediately had four recommendations for Bodum.

It was my birthday this past weekend, and two of my girlfriends went together to buy me an apron. Practicality aside (I’m always wiping my hands on my clothes), it’s cute and stylish. Kitsch N’ Glam has a great assortment of fun aprons, tote bags, and other attire.

The holidays are coming and with that comes the dinners and the entertaining. If there’s one thing I love as much as cooking (and eating) good food, it’s serving said food in great vessels. A client gave me a ceramic lazy susan with removable dishes and as soon as I saw it, I wondered how I had hosted so many parties without one.
