Cookware
DealNews.com says cookware one of the best things to buy in December, due to spillover from big November sales. Two of their picks: Cutlery sets and bakeware.
Walmart has a seven-piece Corningware Etch bakeware set for $30, which DealNews reports is $40 less than the next-cheapest price online.
Williams-Sonoma offers 25% off cookware with the code "COOKWARE," and Bon-Ton has up to 50% off, plus another 20% with code "MILLIONDC12."
Gourmet foods
On Free Shipping Day last year, food and drink was the most popular deals category, says Kendal Perez, deals expert for FreeShipping.org, which organizes the promo. (This year's Free Shipping Day is Dec. 17.)
It's not just free shipping - there are often discounts, too. Harry & David deals include 25% select gifts or 20% off orders of $99 and up, as well as free shipping.
iGourmet has 5% off site-wide, and Teavana has $5 off $35 orders and $10 off $60.

To name a few, get a $20 bonus card with $100 in Carraba's gift cards, $10 with every $50 at Buca di Beppo gift card and $5 with every $25 at Boston Market gift card.
Check the sites of these family favorites for details and stock up. Just watch the terms -- some of the bonus cards can only be used during certain dates.

A Decide.com study found small kitchen electrics get cheaper after Black Friday, in particular, blenders, juicers and microwaves.

Right now, Kmart has up to 55% off small appliances, while Kohl's has up to 50% off. Both stores also let you stack discount coupons.
"Of-the-month" clubs
