Eataly is kind of like a classy Italian Costco except it’s not cheap and you don’t really buy in bulk. But it has a ton of Italian groceries as well as hot food bars, prepared foods, sit-down restaurants, and coffee. And it can actually be pretty affordable if you pay attention to when there’s an Eataly sale. We browsed the site and broke down their in-store deals as well as some online savings so you can find out what to buy at Eataly that won’t leave you broke. Here are the six best Eataly deals we spotted.
- Gentilini Osvego Cookies
-
Osvego cookies are like the Italian version of British tea biscuits. They have a nice blend of honey, butter, and malt that make them a great snack (and, right now, they’re 30% off). Instead of enjoying them at tea time these are meant to be paired with your third espresso of the day. Please drink less espresso. We’re all worried about you.
- Lavazza Qualità Oro Ground Coffee in Tin
-
If you’re making espresso at home, you’re going to want to use some Lavazza. Whether you have an espresso maker or a Moka pot, Lavazza is the go-to brand for Italian coffee. This tin is on sale in-store only all through the month of September. I usually go through one pack of coffee a week so I’m going to buy 52 tins to set myself up nicely for the year.
- Daniele Mansi Limoncello
-
In September this Daniels Mansi Limoncello will be calling your name—and it’ll also be saying, “Hey, I’m $10 off!” September is still hot enough that a nice cool glass of lemonade sounds delightful. And if that lemonade is alcoholic? Even more delightful.
- Italpesto Taggiasca Olives in Brine
-
Olives are one of those foods that you either love or hate. I love them. Back in the day at family Olive Garden outings, I’d eat all the olives out of the big salad bowl before my olive-hating family served themselves. If you love olives, you’ll really love these olives (and you’ll love that they’re 30% off). They have a sweet and mild flavor and smell a little like fruit. Just like me!
- Frantoi Cutrera IGP Sicilia Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
If you’re going to make some Italian food, you’re going to have to have some good olive oil. Otherwise that would be like making Canadian food without ketchup. Or American food without microplastics. It’s simply a necessity. The tasting notes describe this olive oil as having “pronounced notes of tomato and artichoke” with “medium spicy notes” on the finish. More importantly, though, is the price, which is more than $10 less than it usually is.
- T’a Milano Dark Chocolate Bar with Raspberry
-
Three of my absolute favorite things in the world are dark chocolate, raspberries, and bars. So you know this dark chocolate bar with raspberries is going to hit the spot! A chocolate treat like this with an Italian pedigree can be enjoyed with an espresso or with a nice glass of wine. Or make some sort of espresso wine hybrid cocktail and eat it with that. There are no rules! And while it usually costs nearly $8, you can get one right now for about $5.
