PRICE DROP: 5-piece Lenox Opal Innocence Carved Dessert set now $29.31 on Amazon

Amazon has got this 5-piece Lenox Opal Innocence Carved Dessert set for $29.31 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping. This includes 4 Lenox Opal Innocence Carved dessert plates and one 9" Lenox Opal Innocence Carved cake stand. This deal comes around (approximately) twice a year, and it's easily one of the most price-worthy and popular deals that I post on Daily Cheapskate.

FYI, Wayfair has got the cake stand alone for $59.95 and Macy's has got the 4 dessert plates alone for $39.99. If you Google around, you will see other sites that have these items priced in the $100 price range. This is one of my favorite Lenox deals on Amazon. I have no idea how they can price this Lenox set so low.

Four years ago, I bought two of these sets for Pesach and they are absolutely beautiful. Opal Innocence is a classic Lenox white-on-white design that goes with everything and can be integrated into other tableware sets. These also make wonderful (and well-priced) hostess gifts.

Crafted of Lenox white porcelain.
Set includes cake platter & 4 dessert plates.
Dishwasher-safe.
Microwave-safe.
Cake platter diameter is 9".

Buzz & Bloom spreadable honeys for 33% off on Amazon (starting at $4.15 shipped for a 12-ounce jar)

Amazon has got an awesome 33%-off online coupon on these Buzz & Bloom Spreadable Honeys, which, when stacked with maximized Subscribe & Save discounts, yield a whopping 48% off the original price (33% + 15%=48%)!!

If you want these shipped before Sukkot, be sure and change your Subscribe & Save delivery date asap. If you want these shipped before Rosh Hashana, it can be done, but you will lose the Subscribe & Save 15% off (you will still retain the 33% off coupon).

Buzz and Bloom Honey Creamy Spread, Original, 12 ounce, as low as $4.15 shipped with the 33% off coupon and the Subscribe & Save discount

Buzz and Bloom Honey Creamy Spread, Almond, 12 ounce, as low as $5.79 shipped with the 33% off coupon and the Subscribe & Save discount

Buzz and Bloom Honey Creamy Spread, Cinnamon, 12 ounce, as low as $5.57 shipped with the 33% off coupon and the Subscribe & Save discount

This is my "honey bar" from 2011, showcasing different varieties of honey on my Rosh Hashana table, an idea I ~~stole~~ borrowed from Susie Fishbein's Kosher by Design. I usually do a honey bar in pretty colored glasses, but one year, I got adventurous and thought about doing this in hollowed-out apples (it was a good thought).

8-quart Instant Pot Duo for $89.95 on Amazon

Amazon decided to match Target's price and has dropped the price on their Instant Pot 8-quart 1200-watt 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker (#DUO80) to $89.95 with free Prime shipping. It got 4.5 out of 5 stars over 27,952 customer reviews on this super-popular item. This was the price that I paid (two Prime Days ago) for my 8-quart Instant Pot.

(I don't know if you've ever had brisket cooked in a good pressure cooker, but it's basically the best, tenderest, brisket you will ever have in your life, omigosh.)

8 oz. bottle of Rodelle's Pure Vanilla Extract for $13.67 (beats Costco's price per ounce by 24%)

Because of a cyclone in Madagascar that wiped out most vanilla crops in 2017, vanilla extract prices were sky-high this year. It's becoming more and more difficult to find a decent price on pure vanilla.

Jet.com has got a great deal on this Rodelle's Pure Bourbon Vanilla Extract 8 oz. bottle, $13.67, which comes to $1.71 per oz. (FYI, Rodelle Vanilla is under the kosher supervision of the Scroll-K Va'ad HaKashrus of Denver.) Compare this to the price on vanilla extract at Costco, $34.99 for a 16 oz. bottle (YMMV) or $2.19 per oz.

Now, because it's a Jet deal, you need to have a minimum $35 order to get free shipping, so if you don't need anything else at Jet, order three of these. The price will drop slightly because you're ordering multiples of the same item, and your total will be $40.02 for 24 oz. or $1.67 per oz.. That's a 24% savings per ounce on Costco's price!

(If you'd like to peruse Daily Cheapskate's deals at Jet.com to see what else you might want to order to get to the free shipping minimum, click here.)
