Unlike my old set, these are incredibly lightweight and wash beautifully. Food residue has come off with ease and everything I’ve cooked, roasted, and baked came out perfectly, so I know the aluminum material is evenly distributing heat. Now I’m planning to grab a couple of more, so I can use several when I’m making big batches of baked goods or meal prepping for the week. To buy: $24 (was $25); amazon.com. Sweese’s porcelain pasta bowls, or “blates,” are perhaps my favorite kitchen find of the year. I can’t stop talking about how much I love this genius dinnerware set, which I use now every day. Their smart design is a hybrid between a plate and a bowl, making them ideal for serving up all kinds of potentially messy foods. Their raised sides keep sauce- or dressing-covered meals, like pasta or salad, contained, preventing drips and messes. Their simplistic look makes them an elegant addition to any kitchen. And thanks to their two-in-one design, I have pretty much everything I need to serve up breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in one clever piece, saving me cabinet space and money. To buy: $32 (was $35); amazon.com. While almost everything featured is under $60, there was one splurge this year. After setting aside some money and hoarding gift cards for years, I finally invested in a nice television and opted for Samsung’s The Frame. As a frugal shopper who lives in a small apartment, everything I buy must be multipurpose while offering an incredible value—and that’s exactly why I went for this television. Unlike most on the market, this clever television doubles as decor. When you’re not streaming a show, you can select the device’s “art mode,” which displays a painting or photograph of your choice. Its anti-reflection screen and included frame makes the unit look like a framed piece of art, adding some punch or interest to any space. And while it wasn’t cheap, its price tag is about the same that I would have paid for a standard television and a large piece of art. And this option has an added bonus: I can swap out the featured painting or photo whenever I want, making it a versatile piece I know I’ll love to feature on my wall for years to come.
