My Dad Took Off Work to Shop Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days—Save Up to 55% on His Picks

My dad takes shopping seriously. If there’s a deal, he’s all over it. And now that we’re in the full swing of Prime Big Deal Days, his cart is full. He even took off work to score big savings (or maybe is just really distracted today, it’s hard to say). Either way, he has some great picks for your kitchen. If you need a new vacuum or a new espresso machine, he’s found the best deal — trust me. Keep scrolling to shop the best dad-approved deals, up to 55% off, right now.

Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine

After several visits to the repair shop, my dad’s old espresso machine is finally gone for good. He’s taking advantage of this nearly $200-off discount on the Breville Barista Express, and I’d recommend you do the same. It’s our overall favorite (a fact that convinced even him, the pickiest of shoppers) thanks to its customizable settings, how easy it is to use, and of course, the high-quality espresso it produces. 

Henckels 20-Piece Knife Set 

Even though my brother is a chef, he takes all of the good knives with him to work, and my dad is left to cook dinner with a dull Wüsthof blade he’s had since the early ‘80s. He’s finally upgrading his kitchen knives and grabbing this 20-piece set from Henckels while it’s close to $300 off. Beyond the blades being razor sharp, another benefit is that there’s a nice compact block to store them all, so they’re not just floating around in the kitchen drawers. 

KitchenAid 4-Pack Kitchen Towels 

My parents have a big drawer of kitchen towels (a personal goal of mine), but last time I was over I brought my dog, and consequently, kitchen towels are her favorite toy. This is all to say, even they need some replacements, and so my dad is grabbing these KitchenAid towels for just $3.50 apiece. That’s a pretty good price for a chew-toy slash absorbent dish cloth if you want my opinion.  

Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum

Our favorite upright vacuum is also discounted during Prime Big Deal Days, and my father is also taking this opportunity to grab a new one for himself. Not only is it great for cleaning up pet hair, but there is a great crevice tool that makes tiny bits of herbs and crumbs easy to clean from the corners of the kitchen. I’m excited that he’s excited for this one. 

Tramontina 10-Inch Nonstick Skillet

The thing about nonstick skillets is that the coating wears down easily, and if your current pan is looking worse for wear, this deal is a total steal. My dad loves to use his to make French toast, eggs, and to reheat leftovers. This 10-inch skillet is definitely worth picking up for $28 if you need a new one. 

Cuisipro Fat Separator

Thanksgiving is my family’s favorite holiday, and my dad swears by this fat separator for cooking the perfect gravy (which is the glue that holds the whole dinner together). My brother either stole or broke (or both) his old one, and he’s glad to see that it’s currently 35% off during this sale event. Needless to say, he’s added one to his cart already. 

Cuisinart Grilling Prep and Serve Trays

My dad loves to grill, and although he has several platters, I’d feel much better if he had some color-coded ones. After all, running to and fro the grill to the kitchen can get confusing fast, and food safety is important. Right now, these $23-trays from Cuisinart are perfect for the griller in your life. Which for me is him. Holiday present, acquired.
