At the start of the new year, a kitchen reset just feels right — but blowing your budget? Not so much. In an effort to find luxe yet affordable upgrades (think: cast iron Dutch ovens, wooden knife blocks, savvy appliances), we scoured Target's kitchen and dining section. To our surprise, it's filled with steep, under-the-radar markdowns from top kitchen brands.
In need of a sharper chopping setup? Henckels has major markdowns on timeless knife block sets, slashing hundreds of dollars off their original prices. These are the kind of investment pieces that instantly elevate your meal prep game (and double as foolproof wedding or housewarming gifts). You’ll also find rare deals on Staub — the cookware brand beloved by chefs and celebrities alike — with bakeware sets marked down as much as 58%.
For those who have a tendency to break glasses (don’t worry, you’re not alone!), JoyJolt has tons of on-trend picks at reduced prices — from wide-base white wine glasses to viral can-shaped options that will elevate everything from iced coffee to iced water. And for those who love a clever gadget, there are countertop ice machines (ideal for cocktails), as well as burr grinders for café-quality coffee at home.
Bottom line? These deals won’t last long. Shop our top picks below!
