Succos start on Wednesday evening, 10/4/17, less than a week away! Thank goodness for things like 2-day shipping for us last-minute procrastinators!
Here is a last-minute Sukkot deal round-up for decor, safety items, chairs, tables, tablecloths, tableware, schach, outdoor washing stations, and everything else you can possibly imagine needing for Succos!
Amazon has got this glass Pomegranate Sukkah Decoration for $9.99 with free Prime shipping. 4.4 out of 5 stars over 9 customer reviews.
Amazon has got this set of 6 bunches of grapes (2 each of green, purple and black) for $12.99 with free Prime shipping. Buy two of these, get 10% off ($11.69) or buy three or more of these, get 20% off ($10.39).
If you like to decorate your sukkah with leaf and flower vines, Walmart seems to have the best prices on those.
I also found this beautiful candle chandelier for $25.13 with free shipping. LOVE this one.
Gorgeous FREE Sukkah posters, in memory of the Henkin Family z"l, H"YD.
Amazon has got this 72-foot outdoor solar string light set for just $16.69 with free Prime shipping (23 cents per foot). We used these last year; perfect idea for Sukkot/Succos. 4.0 out of 5 stars over 68 customer reviews. (Please note that you will still need another lighting source as string lights rarely give off enough light to stand on their own in a Sukkah.)
The way it works is this: the string lights have a small panel that stays exposed to sunlight during the day and then, when night falls and the panel is no longer in the light, the string lights come on automatically. They operate on solar power, so no outlet or extension cord is needed. They are rated for outdoor use, so they shouldn't short out when it rains.
Do your kids bring home paper Sukkah decorations that they made in school? A great way of preserving their beautiful creations is investing in a laminator. Amazon has got this Marigold 9" Thermal Laminator for $21.00 with free Prime shipping. It got 4.7 out of 5 stars over 83 customer reviews.
Amazon has got this 72-foot outdoor solar string light set for just $16.69 with free Prime shipping (23 cents per foot). We used these last year; perfect idea for Sukkot/Succos. 4.0 out of 5 stars over 68 customer reviews.

SUKKAH SAFETY:
Nothing like a Sukkah full of bees to ruin everyone's lunch! Amazon has this 2-pack of Aspectek Trap for Bees, Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jackets for $13.79 with free Prime shipping. I use these because they don't use toxic chemicals, they work and they are re-usable from year to year.
Have you discovered mesh food covers yet for clean and safe outdor dining? Mesh food covers are a great way to be able to put out the food ahead of time without worrying about the flies/bees/mosquitoes/critters eating it before your guests do.
Amazon has this very practical set of two mesh food covers for $5.98 with free Prime shipping.
Or you can get a little shmancy and order this cute Woodard & Charles 14" Round Dragonflies Food Dome for $18.41 with free Prime shipping. There's also this grapes one for $17.06 and lots more over here.
TABLEWARE:
I love the "Looks Like Real" plastic disposable tableware. If you've got to use paper and plastic, it really dresses up the table. It gives me the advantage of setting a lovely Yom Tov table out in the Sukkah without worrying about smashed china, and when the meal is over, everything goes in the trash. If you're of the greener persuasion, you can wash and reuse these (defeats the purpose, but whatever floats your boat) but never put disposable tableware in the dishwasher.
Amazon has got this 160 piece set of Reflections plasticware for $15.70 with free Prime shipping. (Sometimes Costco has Reflections cutlery for slightly less than the Amazon price, though I haven't seen it there for almost a year, but it doesn't hurt to call and check.)
I'm always looking for new patterns in disposable, looks-like-real cutlery. I love how modern this looks, 160-piece set for $16.99 with free shipping.
This is not the best price on this set (I've bought this one six times!) but I loooovvvve that pattern. Amazon has this 180-piece Decor Hammered Effect Design Plastic Silverware, down to $17.99 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping.
Target has got this 60-count Spitz Gold Cutlery for $5.00 or just slightly over 8 cents per piece. You can also get the 60-count Spitz Silver Cutlery for $5.00 as well. I bought the gold one this year and was very impressed with the quality.
If you've got a Target RedCard (and if you don't, you really need to get one because RedCards are awesome money savers), you will save 5% on these sets, bringing the price down to $4.75, or just under 8 cents per piece with free shipping.
Shipping is free with either a $35 minimum order, or with using your RedCard as your payment method (no minimum), or it's $5.99 flat-rate shipping. You can also opt for free in-store pickup.
Amazon has got this set of 48 disposable wine glasses for only $14.99 with free Prime shipping. This is an extremely well-priced buy, but be aware that these glasses hold 5 oz., so they are going to be on the smaller side. They got terrific ratings (4.6 out of 5 stars over 5 customer reviews.)
Also check out this Table To Go 'I Can't Believe Its Plastic' 50-count Ivory Lace Plate Set on Amazon for $18.99 with free Prime shipping. (The ones that I ordered and received were definitely white and not ivory.) This set includes 25 - 10" dinner plates and 25 - 7.5" salad plates.
(FYI to East Coast shoppers, if I bought the comparable plates at Amazing Savings, they would cost a total of $22.50.)
Amazon has got this 50 piece set of Blue Sky Plastic Silver Swirl Dinnerware Set in white and silver for $22.49 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping. It includes 25-7" appetizer plates and 25-10.25" plates.
SCHACH:
The CRC (Chicago Rabbinical Council) has recommended three types of bamboo mats for use as kosher schach that you can get at Home Depot this year, assuming that you follow these directions:
If your Home Depot charges exhorbitant shipping charges, you can order it online and then pick it up in-store for free.
OUTDOOR WASHING STATION:
Just connect a hose to this portable sink, cover the bottom with a sink skirt, and you will have the shmanciest outdoor washing station in town! Amazon has got this portable sink for $56.76 with free Prime shipping. I was thinking this was a rather luxurious purchase, but then I realized that this can also be used for barbecues or just any kind of backyard eating during the year. (Also a good chametz sink for when my kitchen is in-process for Pesach.)
This is what we've been using for an outdoor washing station: a water carrier with a spigot, at Walmart for $5.92. Free 2-day shippping on order of $35 or more, or free in-store pickup.
CHAIRS:
Target has got a great deal on folding chairs, as low $7.64 each when you follow these steps (but you need to pick them up in-store at a Target):
- Add five folding chairs at $9.99 each to your cart.
- Add a filler item like this plate for $0.79, to get your total above $50.
- Enter promo code HOME at checkout, and receive a free $10.00 Target gift card for your $50.00 home purchase.
- Use your RedCard to pay and get an additional 5% off, (and if you don't have one, you really need to get one because RedCards are awesome money savers).
- These items are available for in-store pickup only; they do not ship, so you'll need to pick them up at your nearest Target store.
- TOTAL: $9.99 x 5 = $49.99 + $0.79 = $50.74. Save $2.54 with your RedCard (5%) and $10.00 for the free gift card, total net = $38.20 or $7.64 per folding chair!
Walmart has got this set of four black or antique linen Mainstays steel folding chairs for $39.32 with free shipping or in-store pickup. That comes to $9.83 per chair (cheaper than some chair rentals!). These chairs got 4.7 out of 5 stars over 84 customer reviews.
If you would rather buy single folding chairs instead of a set of four, you can get this Mainstays folding chair for $9.83 from Walmart. Free in-store pickup only.
TABLES:
TABLECLOTHS:
Other sizes:
- 60" x 102" tablecloth for $11.83
- 60" x 126" tablecloth for $11.97
- 90" x 122" tablecloth for $13.99
- 90" round tablecloth for $9.81
- one dozen 17" cloth napkins for $11.79
More tablecloths:
- Lustre Weave 60" x 120" tablecloth for $21.98 with free Prime shipping. (This is basically a much less expensive knockoff of the Lenox Opal Innocence tablecloth.)
