2. Panasonic Stainless Steel Kettle

   Is It Worth It?: Is the kettle half empty or half full? One thing's for sure: At $76 below the lowest price we could find, it's just about half off. Available in a Smoke finish, this kettle has a 1.4-liter capacity, cool touch exterior, LED indicator, water gauge, and auto shut-off.

   While you're at it, get the matching Editors' Choice Panasonic Stainless Steel and Glass Toaster in Violet or Smoke for $79.95 via coupon code "120OFF" with free shipping. Note that the Smoke color is on backorder with no confirmed delivery date.

3. Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Kit
   Store: Target
   Price: $7.99 with in-store
   Lowest By: $3

   Is It Worth It?: Gone are the day of brown bag lunches and thermoses. We've entered an era of BPA-free lunch box kits! This set of Rubbermaid containers are dishwasher safe (top rack only), microwave safe, and freezer safe.

   You'll find this set of tupperware and others on sale in Target's discount bin of kitchen storage and organization items, where prices start at $3.80. (Discount is shown on product page.) This promotion is the best general discount we've seen on these items at Target in recent months, and though many items are also available online, shipping costs start at $5.

4. Twist and Grate Food Grater
   Store: 13 Deals
   Price: $3.49 with free shipping
   Lowest By: $8
   Expires: August 6

   Is It Worth It?: It's a little known scientific fact that the best music for working it in the kitchen comes from ska bands like the English Beat.... Queue up "Twist and Crawl" while using this Twist and Grate food grater! It includes an internal divider that allows you to grate two foods at once, which comes in handy when you want to grate and sing at the same time: "Twist and crawl, twist and grate, twist and crawl, twist and grate..." We imagine it also works equally well when listening to rock, disco, or pan flute music.

5. Brylane Home 7-Piece Two-Tone Stainless Steel Cookware Set
   Store: Brylane Home
   Price: $29.99 via coupon code "BHK25VR" with $7.99 s&h
   Lowest By: $50
   Expires: August 15

   Is It Worth It?: You don't need too many cooks stirring the pot, but you can never have too many pots to stir up a cooking commotion for your guests. This set includes a 1.5-quart saucepan, 2.5-quart saucepan, 9.5" frying pan, 5-quart dutch oven, and three lids. They're also distinguished by a sleek deco design. Note that these cookware items should be washed by hand.
