Best Saturday Sales for Small Businesses on Food and Kitchen Products

I like one big box business on a very expensive blender or grill as much as the next person, but that’s not why we’re here today. Because it’s Small Business Saturday!

Founded in 2010, Small Business Saturday aims to promote independent retailers during the busiest and most expensive time of the year. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up our favorite kitchen deals from small businesses like Fishmonger And Clear Earthincluding selections from our critics and editors.

Now, I would be remiss if I didn’t say that even though these agreements are phenomenal and absolutely worthy of interest, the same goes for going to your favorite local small businesses today and giving them some money. Or maybe do both? I know I will.

Fishwife The classic smoked trio

“I used to be *strongly opposed* to canned tuna. The smell made me nauseous, so it says something that today I eat canned fish with joy and relish (and sometimes with relish). Part of it is discovering recipes that go beyond tuna salad with mayonnaise, part of it is trying tuna packed in olive oil (a revelation), and the other important part is the rebranding that canned fish has gotten in the past. a few years. And one brand that made canned fish fashionable is Fishmonger», deputy editor-in-chief of commerce Grace Kelly said. “When I tried canned fishtheir smoked salmon was one of my favorites – it makes a killer dip that pairs really well with a bowl of rice, and sometimes I eat it straight from the can with chips and sour cream. The old me would be horrified, but the new me knows it’s a good thing.

Vân Vân Flavor Pack

Vân Vân’s single-origin spices come directly from Vietnamese farmers. Their spices may be a little different than you expect: they are meant to be rehydrated and used in place of fresh herbs or aromatics. This includes their purple shallots and northern mountain garlic, both excellent in a stir-fry.

Coyuchi Organic Waffle Kitchen Towels

This small California-based company is one of our favorites kitchen towels. It’s a splurge, sure, but they’re incredibly absorbent and beautiful. They also have a central towel hook, which is rarer in a kitchen towel than you might think.

Great Breadwinner Jones

This bread mold comes in three bright colors for those who would like to add a little spice to their quick bread (who wouldn’t?). In our tests, it baked tall, evenly browned loaves and was nicely non-stick. It’s $10 off for small businesses on Saturday.

Two Yuzuco Duos!

“Fresh Yuzu is a revelation; it has an almost pine-like hue, as if the lime juice tasted like juniper berries. It adds spice and freshness to some of my favorite marinades and sauces (Ponzu!), and dishes, like this one Steak Salad with Yuzu Mustard Vinaigrette“, said Grace. “And I’m obsessed with the Yuzu juice sold by Yuzuco: it’s super fresh and comes in cute little plastic bottles with screw caps, making it easy to pour and store for later use.” Yuzuco’s sale gives you $18 off when you order two of their Duos.

Made In sales includes a host of favorites from our gear reviews, including our best sauté pan (an essential kitchen tool, if you ask us). There are also deep discounts on their really hard to chip chips. disheselegant silverwareand the best naughtier around.

Bean Box Coffee Sampler

“Bean Box offers a variety of different subscription options, but I particularly like their Coffee sample box” says trade writer Jesse Raub. “It includes four sample-sized bags of coffee sent each month from a wide selection of curated roasters. It’s a great gift, but it’s also a fantastic way to try new flavor profiles to discover what your coffee preferences really are.”

If you spend $100 at Brightland, you get 20% off. This set will get you there and includes two olive oils (Awake and Alive) and two vinegars (balsamic and champagne). As we said in our olive oil review: “We actually found Awake a little bolder than Alive, with a powerful peppery burn and a strong bitter edge; a little will go a long way. Alive was a little sweeter, fruitier and rounder, although it still had that burn in the back of the throat.

I sang the praises of this chili crisp Before. It’s amazing on eggs, great on roasted vegetables and proteins, and makes a wonderful topping for a fried chicken sandwich. Right now it’s 20% off.
