Most trips to an Aldi supermarket will end in walking out of the store with a bit more than you intended to shop for. The popular discount retailer always has a new arrangement of fan-favorite products to choose from, and this week, the kitchen gods provided in a big way with the Ambiano 2-Quart Slow Cooker . Retailing for a shocking $9.99, this workhorse of a countertop kitchen appliance is your ticket to out-of-this-world chilis, soups, stews and so much more.

A slow cooker of this size can easily sell elsewhere for at least double the price. Target currently has a 2-quart Crock-Pot online for $19.99, which features the same exact settings as the Aldi offering: low, high and warm. The pots inside both appliances and their accompanying lids can also be cleaned in the dishwasher without worry of damaging the product.

Aldi customers can expect to find both black and silver colorways available at their local retailers while supplies last. And with such an affordable price point, chances are these suckers are going to sell quickly. Make sure to visit your local this week, and while you’re at it, check out this beautiful rattan vase that is nearly identical to a Crate & Barrel style. And don’t sleep on these cute $10 woven pumpkins that showed up just in time for the fall season.
