A Shopping Spree for the Kitchen Under $10

I am delighted to be joining the fun at Ten on the 10th today.     Bargain hunting is one of my favorite activities. Unfortunately, cooking really isn't.  But recently, I have come across some affordable items that make time in the kitchen a little more enjoyable.   What if you could scoop and measure dry ingredients for a recipe in one step?   

How much fun is this Measuring Spoon & Cup Set?   I'd say, definitely more than $1.64 worth! The pieces even clip together for storage.  This set would be great for a first apartment kitchen. It's measuring cups, measuring spoons, and scoops, all wrapped up in one.


Bonus:  The measuring spoon handles are harder to lose in a drawer than typical measuring spoons.

This paring knife with matching plastic cover cost a whopping 94 cents.  There are lots of fun colors to choose from.  Nice sharp new knives make cutting so much easier and the cover makes a drawer so much safer.

I'm hooked on these little 8.5 x 11 inch cutting boards.  They cost 88 cents a piece and fit in the dishwasher very easily! At this price, everyone standing around the kitchen could be put to use chopping different vegetables on individual boards.

This flat Pot Strainer is another dishwasher friendly gadget to simplify meal prep.  It takes up very little space and can be yours for 97 cents!

Is your mind just racing with ideas for a kitchen gift basket?  Mine is.

But wait...

There's more!

This Mini Measuring Cup is perfect when doubling a recipe that calls for a tablespoon of a liquid. The price for this little gem is $1.66.  The label says it is BPA free and dishwasher safe.

It also measures up to 2 ounces and 60 ml.  The numbers are written inside and outside of it. Genius.

One of these would also be adorable for a child's play kitchen.

And last but not least, this Can Colander is another $1.88 treasure.  Those pineapple tidbits have met their match.

If you haven't guessed, all these items were found in the housewares department at Walmart. No, they didn't compensate me for this post.  But I still love them.   Let's recap: Measuring Scoops   $1.64 Paring knife                 .94 Cutting board               .88 Pot Strainer                  .94 Mini Measuring Cup   1.88 Can Colander             1.88 Total                          $8.16 That's a pretty major kitchen upgrade for a little over eight bucks. Now I'm tempted to go back for the Silicone Spatula Set... two heat-resistant silicone heads (up to 450 F) for $1.97.  I might get so excited that I actually bake a cake.   What is your favorite kitchen gadget bargain?
