Farberware stainless steel microwave is on sale for $30 off at Walmart

You don’t realize how much you use your microwave until you don’t have one. Seriously, what did people do before they were invented in 1946? (Or the ’70s and ’80s, when most U.S. households started getting microwaves.)

Even if you have a toaster oven, a slow cooker, and a rice cooker, there’s nothing that replaces that speed and convenience. 

Whether yours is busted, crusted in the last tenant’s food explosions, or your current landlord decided you just didn’t need one (New York apartments or notorious for this), splurging on a new microwave is something you’ll have to budget for at least once.

This 900W stainless steel model from Farberware is $30 off today, dropping it to just $69.99. That’s a huge deal in the microwave market.

At 0.9 cubic feet, this model is big enough to fit an entire plate of reheated food, but small enough to squeeze into a corner if you’re short on counter space. Timing settings include one- to six-minute express cooking functions, a +30 seconds button, plus a memory function for customized settings.

Six cooking programs are included for extra laziness: Popcorn, Potato, Pizza, Frozen Vegetable, Beverage, and Dinner Plate.

Regularly $99.99, you can save $30 and get it for $69.99.
