This weekend's best sales: A $70 Carote cookware set, 70% off a Kate Spade tote and more

If your current set of pots and pans took a beating over this last year, do yourself a favor and replace them ASAP. No one should have to start the new year with cookware that's past its prime. Shoppers at Walmart cannot stop raving about this comprehensive Carote set that includes frying pans, a saucepan, a casserole and a saute pan, all finished with a durable nonstick coating. Nearly 9,600 people have given this set a perfect five-star rating. One satisfied shopper gushed: "I'm 57 and I've been through quite a few cookware sets. This is by far the best ever!"

Another customer added, "I previously purchased some expensive pans that were very disappointing and only lasted me about a year. And I found these in a really nice color to match my kitchen and not only where they had a great price but have been very reliable and easy to use. The food doesn't stick, which is awesome."

The holidays can be, well, a lot. Between chaotic airport concourses and hectic homes filled with friends and family, it's totally normal if you find yourself needing some quiet time. To make blocking it all out a bit easier, grab these popular Bose over-ear headphones while they're under $200, one of the lowest prices ever. People who've purchased them say the noise-canceling technology is "top-notch," and they fit comfortably and stay in place. "I love how comfortable these headphones are! I’m someone who constantly has neck pain and migraines so it’s been such a relief to finally find a quality, comfy pair of over-the-ear headphones," one person commented.

Need a new black tote for work, school or just, you know, every day? Of course you do! It doesn't get more classic and timeless than this leather Kate Spade number that's down to just $74 ahead of Christmas. It's made from durable saffiano leather that doesn't scratch easily, and it's spacious enough for everyday essentials plus a boot or tablet. "This purse is the perfect size! Everything about it is awesome!" one shopper gushed. Another added, "[This bag is] very classy and will go with so many outfits! The strap works well for over the shoulder or to hold in hand."

Keep your tootsies toasty this winter in these stylish faux shearling-lined boots. They're like the classic Uggs, only better, thanks to the decorative trim at the top. They'll look great with leggings, joggers and jeans, and the moisture-wicking interior keeps sweatiness at bay. The black pair is available in nearly every size, but probably not for long.

Worth noting, shoppers say the sizing on these boots can be tricky. While some note the boots run big, others say they're also narrow at the top and hard to slide your foot into. That said, people who were able to find the right fit love this style. "They are super cute, cozy and warm. These feel more like a solid boot than your average Ugg. They have a more structured feel to them which is nice because they don’t feel floppy like other Uggs. I usually wear these classics at home but these are great for work!" one fan raved.

Don't let its svelte profile fool you; this cordless wonder has a powerful motor that provides the intense suction you need to pick up all that dirt, pet hair, dust and debris from carpets, hardwood floors, tile and more. When fully charged, it will give you up to 40 minutes of nonstop cleaning — ample time to give the entire house a once-over. The Yahoo reader favorite is now down to $70 (and the lowest price we've seen it!). 

I own this weekender bag in two colors, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I've used it for road trips and flights alike, and it's roomy enough to hold a few outfits, plus toiletries and a spare pair of shoes. Best of all, the material is super lightweight, so once it's filled, you can still comfortably carry it on your shoulder. There are 20 colors to choose from, many of which are on sale.

Readers will love Amazon's latest Kindle — it's a No. 1 bestseller and Yahoo's best e-reader of 2024. Yahoo Senior Tech Editor Rick Broida says it "approaches perfection" thanks to its design, screen, size and amount of storage (oh yeah, and it's also waterproof). 

"I like the Paperwhite's 7-inch screen, which is a touch larger than the previous gen's 6.8-incher, but without any increase to overall device size," he writes in his review. "It strikes me as just about the ideal size for comfortable reading, and while the 2024 Paperwhite is a smidgen heavier than its predecessor, it's still comfortable to hold for long stretches."

While this isn't a huge markdown, it is a rare one! And it's only $5 more than it was over Black Friday weekend.

I've been buying Charter Club cashmere sweaters for as long as I can remember, and I'm always so impressed with how well they hold up year after year. Granted, they do need to be dry-cleaned after a few wears, but it's a small price to pay for a luxe-looking and feeling sweater that never goes out of style. Black Friday is the only time you'll find these popular sweaters cheaper than they are now, so don't hesitate to grab a few colors while they're 60% off. You'll be glad you did when you're nice and cozy on cold winter days this winter.

If you want your home to sparkle this season, don't miss this deal on a cordless electric scrubber at QVC. It comes with nine brush heads for cleaning your shower, floorboards, windows, ceiling fans, tight corners, car and pretty much anything you want to make shine.

Yahoo editor Ellie Conley recently put it to the test, and was seriously impressed. "You know how the corners of your home tend to collect a little extra dust or how the grout in the bathroom starts to darken? Well, neither was a match for this baby," she revealed. "If you suspect your home could use this scrubber, pick one up ASAP."

Keeping your hands hydrated is more important than ever during the cold, dry winter months. To help keep cracking and chafing at bay, snag this top-rated Burt's Bees hand cream to keep in your purse, at your desk and in every bathroom around the house. The scent is light and pleasant, and the formula offers lots of moisture without any stickiness or greasiness.

Fans say it's effective and a great value. "I absolutely love this. My skin feels hydrated immediately," one shopper commented. "Works wonders for for dry hands," another added.
