For most people, when the need arises for a new kitchen gadget or dishware, the first place they turn is the Internet. After infinite scrolling and reading numerous reviews, many people still wind up receiving something disappointing. What most people don’t realize is that the kitchenware section of most supermarkets have surprisingly affordable kitchen tools and dishware. While Amazon is selling pitchers for $20 to $30, the grocery store sells them for around $8. It’s like treating yourself to a clearance-priced product. Aside from manual gadgets like garlic presses, lemon juicers, and grill tongs, you can usually find affordable electronic appliances like rice cookers, Instant Pots, toasters and blenders. If you have a store’s club card, you can sometimes get these items at an even deeper discount. By buying these items at the supermarket, not only do you save the shipping fee and actually get to see the product before you buy it, you have it in your possession today, not a week from now. So, before you blindly order those ice cube trays online, stop by your local supermarket — they might just have exactly what you’re looking for.
