Somehow, we’ve reached peak holiday shopping season. With just four weeks until Christmas, only two until Hanukkah, an uptick in online shopping and all of the potential shipping delays that go with it, this weekend will be prime time for many to start (or finish) checking people off their shopping lists. To account for this, retailers are starting their sales earlier (as in, they’re already going) and some are even dipping their toes into Black Friday after avoiding the holiday in years prior.
It’s safe to say, the volume of deals to be had is overwhelming. And so for the home cook, we’ve put together this tight list of sales going on now and through the weekend. Consider it a short list of Eater’s favorite things, the ones that’d be worth considering even if they were full price.
