Herbs can be stupid-expensive to buy at the grocery store and often expire quickly in the fridge if you’re not fast on their case — but if you’ve got space to grow your own garden, you can save a ton of money on these fresh seasonings. Not all of us have outdoor areas, though, which is what makes Aerogarden’s at-home countertop herb growing systems such a hit.
But everything’s better with a discount — right now, you can save big on two of the brand’s models over on Amazon (up to 58% off).
This black growing machine can hold several pasta sauces’ worth of Genovese basil, thyme, and more — and luckily it comes ready to go with a six-pod seed kit featuring those two herbs, plus mint, dill, parsley, and Thai basil, too. The control panel will remind you when to water (overwatering has killed many a basil plant), and they’ll grow five times faster than they would in the soil — so your dinners will be extra-delicious ASAP.
If you want to go from countertop garden to countertop farm, upgrade your harvest with this XL version of the original. It comes with a 25-watt grow light, and it’ll adjust for up to 18 inches of growing height (there’s also a trellis to keep it all steady, too).
