10 Editor-Approved Target Black Friday Deals

I hate to admit it — but when Black Friday rolls around and I’m supposed to be buying kitchen deals for others, I often shop for myself instead. Recently, our espresso maker conked out, and someone dropped and broke the work bowl on my mini food processor while unloading the dishwasher. As a rough-and-tumble family of four, our everyday drinking glasses somehow seem to go missing or break, as well. 

Thankfully, Target saves the day with Black Friday deals — up to 77% off — on all these items and more. And technically, with two teenagers and my husband in the house, I’m not just buying for myself, especially when shopping for garbage cans and reusable drinking straws, both at hard-to-resist discounts. 

You can save a bundle, too, when you shop my Target Black Friday picks — starting at just $13.

Acekool 60-Liter Dual Compartment Trash and Recycling Bin

Under-cabinet trash cans don’t work for my family, given the amount of recycling we go through. We need a bigger, hands-free option, like this stainless steel garbage can by Acekool. It features two large compartments (one for trash and one for recycling), a step pedal, and soft-close lids.

Winco Stainless Steel Curved Drinking Straws

Speaking of recycling, these reusable straws are a must-have in our house. My kids were so conditioned to using straws on sippy cups (and now the adult Stanley and Yeti versions), they won’t hydrate without one. These stainless steel straws are dishwasher safe and come in a set of five — perfect for cold drinks like water, juice, and iced coffee. 

R.W. Flame Professional Espresso Maker with Grinder and Steam Wand

I had to do a double-take when I came across this espresso machine that looks just like the Breville Barista, but for a fraction of the cost. This machine boasts all the bells and whistles, including a built-in burr grinder, a 20-bar Italian pump, a one- or two-cup premium extraction system, and a steam wand. 

Figmint 2-Piece Stoneware Baking Dish Set

New rectangular baking dishes? Why not? These colorful stoneware dishes by Figmint will hold my Christmas ham, scalloped potatoes, or a yummy cobbler. These dishes are microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and will withstand heat up to 500°F.

Staub 5-Quart Cast Iron Essential French Dutch Oven

I’ve always wanted a heritage French oven to complete my collection of cookware. And just like its Le Creuset counterpart, this Staub cocotte features heavy-duty enameled cast iron, a tight-fitting lid designed to retain moisture, and a textured interior for exceptional browning.

Cuisinart Core 3-Cup Mini Chopper

I can’t live without my mini chopper; I use it daily for meal prep and to make salad dressings and basil pesto. So, now that my work bowl is broken, I’m in the market for this upgraded model, complete with chop and grind functions, plus an auto-reverse. All the components are also dishwasher safe.

Henckels Modernist 13-Piece Stainless-Steel Knife Set

This gorgeous set of knives, with its fully forged construction, is deeply discounted. These knives boast German-engineered, stainless-steel blades and sandblasted handles for better grip. The set comes with a paring knife, a serrated utility knife, a Santoku knife, a chef’s knife, a bread knife, and four 4.5-inch steak knives.

Crock-Pot 7-Quart Cook & Carry One Touch Programmable Slow Cooker

How many times have you traveled to a dinner party with a crock pot full of deliciousness, only to have most of it end up on your car’s floor? I sure have. That’s why I’m springing for this model with a locking lid. It features a porcelain insert, a locking tempered glass lid, and a cooking capacity that serves up to nine. 

Ninja Kitchen System with Auto IQ Boost and 7-Speed Blender

If you’re in the market for a coveted Vitamix blender but just can’t stomach the price, this Ninja is a close second. With Ninja’s patented IQ Boost technology, this model blends, crushes, and processes to your desired consistency — no chunks left over. It comes with an extra-large pitcher, a single-serve cup, and a powerful 1200-watt motor.

JoyJolt Can-Shaped Tumbler Drinking Glasses, Set of 6

These cute glass tumblers (paired with the straws above) will make great replacements for my current set of mismatched glassware. Shaped like a can, sipping water, iced tea, seltzers, and summer cocktails will be a lot more fun. At under $5 apiece, I can even afford to buy a backup set.
