In the United States, 52 percent of people report taking at least one dietary supplement and collectively they spend $28 billion a year on them.

Kitchn editors have sipped from countless different glasses. (World’s weirdest humblebrag, right? Don’t feel bad, you probably have, too!) We’ve sipped from Mason jars, pint glasses, teeny tiny juice glasses, giant tumblers, the list goes on. It’s a boring list, we know. We’re just trying to paint a picture for you, so that when we say CB2’s Marta Coolers are our favorite everyday drinking glasses of all time, you know that we’ve done the research to back it up.

The site is currently offering up to 70 percent off on a bunch of pieces for your home. Feeling inspired by all the great dinnerware, we decided to round up 10 super-cute (and super-on-sale!) options.

Ring the alarm! There is a lemon shortage in the United States — just in time for peak lemonade season (of course). While this timing is devastating on so many levels, I am primarily upset because I just learned this ingenious stand mixer lemon-juicing hack. Looks like I’ll have to stock up on Country Time mix instead.

If you are unwilling to trade in a bag of lemons for a carton of sugar, fructose, citric acid, and yellow 5 lake, be ready to shell out the big bucks for the real deal.

Bite-sized tomatoes are one of my favorite summer treats — especially when I pick them right off my cherry tomato plants. They’re the perfect size for skewers, salads, and roasting.

Grocery stores don’t exactly have the best reputation when it comes to yummy, interesting cheeses. There’s the deli counter and the dairy aisle, and if you’re lucky, a cooler filled with a few bricks of “special” cheddar.

So when it comes time to assemble the finest cheese board your book club has ever seen, you probably think that your best bet is to head to the closest specialty store, where you have to shell out the big bucks for their finest cheese. To that, we say think again! We asked a few cheese experts, who definitely know their way around the block, to give us their grocery store cheese recommendations.
