There's a certain thrill in buying something that looks far more expensive than it actually is. That's exactly the vibe of the Astercook 13-Piece Knife Set, which, at the moment, is basically stealing from Amazon in broad daylight. It's a whopping 64% off for the entire set.
The appeal is obvious: it's not just one or two knives tossed in a cardboard sleeve. You're getting thirteen full pieces, including every essential for slicing, dicing, and generally feeling like you know what you're doing in the kitchen. This kind of complete knife block situation is usually reserved for wedding registries or people with culinary degrees, but here it is, priced like a single takeout lunch. Even if you already own a knife set, this is the kind of deal that makes you think about upgrading (or keeping a backup for holiday cooking chaos — which, as I'm writing this, I'm realizing isn't a bad idea).
Amazon
The Astercook 13-Piece Knife Set features professional-grade stainless steel blades designed for precision cutting, ergonomic handles for comfortable grip, and a matching knife block for storage. The set includes a chef's knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, paring knife, six steak knives, kitchen shears, and a built-in knife sharpener, making it an all-in-one solution for home cooking.
Beyond the price, it's sleek. The knives come housed in matching cases that make them easy and safe to store in a drawer. With a set that covers everything from chef's knives to kitchen shears, you're not going to be stuck sawing through a tomato with a butter knife ever again. Whether you're outfitting your first kitchen, replacing an old set, or just enjoying the thrill of a truly ridiculous discount, this is the kind of cart-add that pays off in both practicality and satisfaction.

Amazon's Latest Prime Grocery Move Is a Big 'Shot' at the Competition

Key Takeaways Amazon said Wednesday that it is expanding same-day grocery delivery by adding dairy, meat, produce and other perishables. The move comes after the company said it is building out its same-day and next-day delivery network in smaller towns and rural areas. Shares of Instacart, DoorDash, Walmart and other major supermarkets fell. Amazon is rolling out full-service grocery delivery. The news quickly ricocheted through the market, hitting shares of a range of competitors. Beginning Wednesday, the retailer will offer same-day delivery on thousands of grocery items, including dairy, meat, seafood and produce, in 1,000 locations, it said in a press release. Amazon (AMZN) aims to extend the service to a total of 2,300 towns and cities by the end of 2025, the company said. 'We're continuously innovating to make grocery shopping simpler, faster, and more affordable for our customers,' Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, said in a statement. Amazon is waiving the delivery fee Prime members pay orders over $25. Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT) offer free same-day delivery to members when they spend $35 or more, according to their websites. (Amazon Prime members can get same-day delivery on smaller orders by paying $2.99, and all customers can access the service for $12.99, its press release said.) Amazon's announcement amounts to a 'shot heard 'round the warehouse,' Wedbush Securities wrote in a research note. The bank added that the move could weigh on delivery companies and retailers that have large grocery businesses. Shares of Grocery and Delivery Companies Sink Investors sold off shares of delivery and supermarket companies Wednesday. Instacart (CART) shares were recently down 12%, while DoorDash (DASH) shares fell some 5%, Kroger (KR) shares dropped 4%, Walmart and Albertsons Companies (ACI) shares dipped about 2%. 'Along comes Amazon with an existing nationwide network of fulfillment centers and delivery trucks, [and] seems to have finally figured out how to store and fulfill perishables in a way to support same-day efforts,' Wedbush analysts said. Amazon has struggled to break into the perishable space despite introducing a grocery-specific subscription option, analysts said. It also announced plans to offer same-day and next-day delivery in thousands of less populated areas, which Morgan Stanley described as seizing an opportunity to close the urban-rural gap in online food shopping. Amazon shares were recently up more than 1%.

Amazon Just Crushed Instacart--And It's Not Even Close

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is ramping up the pressure on the grocery sector. The company just announced plans to expand its same-day grocery delivery to 2,300 U.S. cities by year-endmore than double its current footprint. Prime members will receive the service free on orders above $25, undercutting delivery minimums from rivals like Walmart and Kroger. Non-members will be charged $12.99 per order. The new offering includes fresh produce, meat, seafood, frozen goods, and household essentialsblending Amazon's core strengths in e-commerce with an ambitious push into perishable grocery. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Sign with DASH. The market reaction was immediate and sharp. Instacart dropped nearly 11%, marking its steepest slide in months. Kroger fell 4.3%, while Walmart and Ahold Delhaize each lost 1.3%. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts noted that Amazon's low order minimum and bundled delivery model could pull on-demand shoppers away from competitors already struggling to rein in logistics costs. While Amazon shares moved less than 1%, the move reinforces its strategy of compressing margins across entire industries to grab long-term market share. This isn't Amazon's first swing at fresh food, but it could be its most coordinated. The company already owns Whole Foods and operates stores under the Fresh banner, yet has wrestled with making grocery logistics profitable. What's different now? The timing. Recent earnings from Uber Eats (NYSE:UBER), DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH), and Instacart suggest consumers haven't ditched deliveryeven with inflation top of mind. If Amazon can integrate its physical stores with a wider same-day delivery network while leveraging Prime incentives, it may finally start to chip away at Walmart's edge in food retail.
