Black Friday, the biggest and most-hyped shopping holiday of the year, is approaching faster than ever.

Retailers are cooking up some seriously great deals on appliances, gadgets, and kitchenware this year. Here are the highlights: 

2nd-Gen Nest Learning Thermostat for $199.99 at Best Buy: The ultimate home-warming gift for techies is about to see a serious price drop. 

Dyson DC33 Multi-Floor Bagless Upright Vacuum for $199 at Walmart: We predicted that new Dysons would start at around $250, and this 6 pm doorbuster demolishes that price by $51. 

4-Burner Gas Grill with Side Burner for $99 at Walmart: Although the summer months typically see better grill sales than Black Friday, this gas grill is a steal.

Rachel Ray 15-Piece Porcelain Enamel Nonstick Cookware Set for $89 at Walmart: Cookware sets are an excellent buy on Black Friday, and this one is no exception.

Crock-Pot 4-Quart Slow Cooker for $7.99 at Kohl's: Seeing a Crock-Pot fall to a single-digit price point just reminds us how much we love Black Friday. 

Rival Hand/Stand Mixer for $15 at Walmart Admittedly, if you've got your heart set on a top-tier KitchenAid stand mixer, this one from Rival won't impress you. For everyone else, this 6 pm doorbuster is absurdly awesome.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
