Crock-Pot

Don't know about you, but the colder it is, the longer I want my food to take. Or at least I certainly mind if it does. There's just something uber-cozy about a pot on low and slow, warming up the kitchen and filling it with heavenly smells. In short, it's slow cooker season and if you don't have one I'm happy to bend your ear about how amazing they are while Best Buy hits you with a hot deal on a solid Crock-Pot 4-quart programmable slow cooker down under $20 -- for today only -- as its Deal of the Day.

Pop a roast, chicken or pork loin in the slow cooker on your way out the door (set it for a few hours), and return to restaurant-quality dinner for the whole family. Set it for a delayed start to start cooking whenever makes sense for you, and it will revert back to a warming setting when done to keep things hot and ready. 

Okay, we've got eats covered, but what about drinks? Best Buy has also slashed the price in half on those popular Contigo water bottles you see everywhere, down to $10 to $13 (normally $20 to $25), also for today only. Whether you prefer plastic, stainless steel or a sealed travel mug for the hot stuff, there is a slick-looking beverage vessel with your name on it at a rock-bottom price.

This 4-quart slow cooker has two temps and a warming function and cooks for up to 10 hours. Program it on delay and walk into perfectly cooked pulled pork, beef stew or shredded chicken on a chilly evening. Best Buy offers free shipping or you can pick it up at any local store. 

It's getting cold outside, but Contigo travel mugs will keep your beverages warm (and sharp water bottles will help you stay hydrated on-the-go). Free shipping on these as well, or order online and pickup locally at Best Buy.
