Bakers: I've got excellent news. The very same baking trays that I personally own and use for my roasting and baking are on sale. Everyone else: There's only a small handful of decent sales on today, but they're good ones, so check them out.
Save $3 on Aluminum Commercial Baker's Half Sheets by Nordic Ware
Nordic Ware is based about 15 minutes west of where I grew up in Minneapolis, and has been cranking out extremely sturdy, US-made kitchen goods (they invented the Bundt Pan) for about 70 years. I upgraded my flimsy, crappy baking sheet to two incrediblely sturdy, commercial-sized baking trays from them at the end of 2016, and I haven't gone back since. I often roast veges on them at high (500f) temperatures, and I haven't had a single issue with warping over dozens of uses. Nordic Ware's pans are only $10 as an Amazon add-on item, down for their usual $13. If you're looking to round out your winter baking with some new pans that won't make that weird metal popping sound in the oven, these have my approval.
Save $4 on the four-port Anker PowerDrive 4 car charger with checkout code ANKER312
Anker: We love 'em. I haven't personally used their PowerDrive 4 car charger, which plugs into your cigarette lighter and can charge up to four devices (USB cords not included) simultaneously, meaning you never have to fight over the charger on a road trip ever again. Like all Anker products, this one comes with an 18 month warranty, and if the build quality is anything like the half-dozen Anker products I've used, it should last you for much longer than that. You can get one for a very reasonable $12 (down from $16) if you use the promo code ANKER312 at checkout.
