The weekend's best sales: $20 mini slow cookers, 80% off a Kate Spade bag and more

Cold weather calls for something warm simmering away in a slow cooker. For a limited time, shoppers can snag these two minis from Drew Barrymore's Beautiful collection that come with Scrub Mommy sponges for cleanup. Shoppers who cook for just one or two appreciate the small footprint of these kitchen gadgets, which are also a great size for dips.

"The package comes with two slow cookers. You can cook two different dishes. Not designed for a big family, but great for couples," one buyer explained.

Punxsutawney Phil has spoken — six more weeks of winter it is. The silver lining? An excuse to snag these stylish Sorel snow boots while they're 40% off. They're available in four colors, but we're partial to this neutral gray style that will match with everything in your closet. The thick and chunky sole means your feet will stay dry, and the soft faux fur lining will keep your tootsies toasty.

No, that's not a typo. This classic black Kate Spade satchel really is more than $350 off right now — close to an 80% discount. It's made from pebbled leather and has a top handle and a crossbody strap for two different carrying options. 

"Love this bag!" said one customer who snagged this closet essential. "It's just the right size for carrying all the essentials plus some."

If the lightweight design (and ridiculously low price) of this Shark hasn't sold you, here's what might. For starters, you're getting a sleek stick vac and handheld in one, meaning it's equally useful for zapping up dust from your floor as it is for cleaning furniture, stairs, even your car's interior. Plus, you can't beat its cordless design — isn't having to find a new outlet every time you switch rooms one of the worst parts of vacuuming?

Don't want to buy a brand-new coat this close to spring? Then go with this light but insulating thermal pullover that you can layer underneath the jacket you already own. It's available in five on-sale colors in sizes XS-XXL. 

"Love this sweatshirt! It fits comfortably, it's soft, and I get a lot of compliments," one fan wrote.

This falls into the category of "things you don't think about until you need them." If you live in an area prone to power outages, this portable power station can be a literal lifesaver. It's way more than a phone charger (though you'll thank yourself for staying connected). It can keep your lights on, your laptop charged or even power small kitchen appliances (at least for a short while). And it'll do all of that a lot more cleanly and quietly than a gas generator.

Sure, Le Creuset Dutch ovens are iconic, but don't overlook the brand's other cookware. This casserole is one of my most-used kitchen items during winter for one-pot wonders like chicken and rice, stir-fries and braised short ribs. It works both on top of the stove and in the oven, and the glass lid makes it easy for you to keep tabs on your meal as it's cooking.

There's messy weather in the forecast for folks on the East Coast, so now's the time to get prepared. If you can't stay inside and hibernate until the snow melts, then get a warm winter coat on sale this weekend. This cozy Columbia style is nearly $100 off and delivers maximum warmth thanks to its down filling. Choose from three colors in sizes XS-XXL.

Oprah Winfrey included this tumbler in her 2023 Favorite Things List. The cup has flat sides, making it easy to hold with one hand, a silicone bottom that keeps it from sliding and three layers of insulation, so your drinks will stay ice-cold or piping hot for hours on end.

Noise-cancelling headphones don't have to cost a fortune. This pair is under $25 and has up to 25 hours of battery life. More than 5,000 shoppers have given them a five-star rating too. 

"These are inexpensive but work great," one customer shared in their review. "I use them on my tractor while cutting grass and it keeps the background noise to a minimum and allows me to hear music or a book while I drive back and forth all day. So far, they fit well and are holding up well."
