President Trump’s tariffs (which range from a minimum 10 percent, to, as of a mere hour ago, as high as 125 percent) hit this week. As my colleague Michael Zhao reported, this means the prices of goods are likely to increase across the board, from already-big investments like cars to smaller everyday products like face wash and laundry detergent. I reached out to dozens of brands of different sizes across categories to get a sense of what they are thinking and planning in the wake of this news.

They’ve been rounding up the best deals across categories, and while they were culling through hundreds and hundreds of products, they noticed that Great Jones (whose sales are on the rarer side) is offering 20 percent off of a bunch of nonstick bakeware, stainless steel cookware, and more.

Still, there are ways to make it even better, and this version is one that I developed when I wanted to add a vegetable to make the dish more well-rounded — but still had nothing in the fridge.
