Kitchen & Storage — half price deals

Buying kitchen & storage on special

Food containers, drink bottles, cookware and kitchen tools are a general-merchandise category rather than a grocery one, and they are discounted differently: promotions here are usually about clearing seasonal stock or making room for a new range, rather than a scheduled brand promotion.

That makes the discounts less predictable but often deeper, and it means a line that is half price this week may simply not be restocked. If you have been meaning to replace your food containers or lunch boxes, this is the category where acting quickly is more justified than usual. Check the lid seals and whether the item is dishwasher and microwave safe — the cheapest items in this category are often the ones that fail first.
