Kitchen Mama auto electric can opener (40% off list price)
Folks who have trouble opening cans will enjoy this electric can opener, which works with four AA batteries and the press of a button. (You'll have to buy the batteries separately.) The ergonomic design makes the experience free of strain and mess, as the can opener's blade cuts the side of the can and leaves no sharp edges. This has 11,000 5-star ratings and counting, so don't miss your chance to get it for a cheaper price.
Promising review: "I bought this almost as a gag gift for my wife, who was always complaining that we don't have decent can openers laying around. To my surprise (and hers), this works remarkably well. Once you figure out how to position it on a can (just follow the included instructions) and hit the 'on' button, it's fun to watch it dance around the can. Even better, it does a darned good job of opening just about everything! Far easier (and more entertaining) than a hand-cranked opener. It's well built, very ergonomic, fits well in a kitchen drawer and works like a champ. It's the only opener my wife uses these days. Highly recommended." — Brian H.

Anova Culinary Precision vacuum sealer pro (37% off list price)
If you're serious about your food prep and storage, you might know that (as long as you do it properly and safely) vacuum sealing your food can make it last much longer. This Anova vacuum sealer is perfect for storing meats,veggies, marinades or anything else you want to store for a while without worrying that it'll go bad before you can eat it. The sealer comes with a roll of bags and a built-in bag cutter, has wet and dry modes and can vacuum seal with the touch of just one button.
Promising review: "Love that the bags are stored in the unit. Also appreciate the wet/dry option. This is a game changer for us, as my husband and I don't eat huge quantities. We make spaghetti sauce and soups ahead of time and then freeze. Using this, I freeze in small containers, pop the frozen soup/sauce/even lasagna out, vacuum seal it, and it lasts forever in the freezer. We're also now able to take advantage of large quantities of meat that we previously couldn't use, because it would get freezer burn even in "freezer" bags if it was frozen for any length of time. I use it for EVERYTHING!" — num1dgh
