Perks and Rec: It's slow cooker season

Do you ever wake up thinking about the dinner you'll have later? That was me at approximately 6:30 a.m. today, when I remembered that I grabbed all the ingredients for chili during yesterday's grocery run. While you're reading this, I already have it in my slow cooker, simmering away. Yes, my apartment smells amazing. 

For an award-winning pot of chili, you'll want to snag our upgrade pick in slow cookers. We found that Green Pan's slow cooker had an outstanding cooking performance with every technique we tried. The nonstick surface makes it easy to use and clean, especially because the pot is dishwasher-safe. And a win for food lovers everywhere: it's $160 off today with the code GOSLOW. 

We're also grabbing flannel everything at Lands' End, which is 50% off site wide with the code SHORE. The best flannel sheets we've ever tested are included in this sale, so snag them to stay cozy all autumn long. If you're looking for a flannel shirt, there are plenty of colorful options in both the women's and men's sections. 

Happy shopping,
