2. Save 19%: This Reviewed-approved pie dish
Now that it’s officially autumn, the time to bake delectable and seasonal pies is upon us. To prep for these drool-worthy desserts, pick up this Farberware 10-inch Baker’s Advantage ceramic deep pie dish, usually $19 and on sale for $15.33. Featured in our roundup of the best pie dishes on the market, we liked this vessel for its ceramic construction, which was akin to much higher-end brands, such as Le Creuset and Emile Henry, and offered solid performance in the baking department. It measures 10.24 inches by 10.24-inches, making it deep enough for a variety of pie fillings, plus, there's room beneath the stoneware edge for a secure grasp (we found this particularly helpful for moving it in and out of the oven). Speaking of ovens, it's safe to use inside one as well as in the microwave, dishwasher and broiler, to boot.

4. Down 23%: This 6-quart Crock-Pot that's perfect for cozy meals
Stews, soups and slow cookers—oh my! Today, shoppers can grab a 6-quart Crock-Pot SCCPVL600-R slow cooker for $30.89—a 23% markdown from its retail price of $39.99. (Note that you can grab it for slightly cheaper here.) A similar model, the Crock-Pot SCCPVL610 ($44.99), not only made our list of favorite slow cookers, it was dubbed our best value pick for its affordable price point and even cook on chilis, lasagnas, tomato sauces and more. There are a few key differences between the unit we tested and the sale model seen here: namely, the latter's LED screen, digital timer and stainless steel exterior. The 600-R is still a solid choice, however, with a lid-mounting locking system, dishwasher-safe stoneware insert and three cooking settings (high, low and warm). The 6-quart capacity can feed up to seven people, making it ideal for larger families or leftovers galore.
