Soup season is on its way, so if your slow cooker is due for an upgrade, Target’s fall sale has you covered.

Right now, Target has a programmable 6-quart Crock-Pot slow cooker for just $39.99 . At this price, it’s one of the most affordable ways to prep hearty seasonal meals without hovering over the stove.

Available in a deep Lambrusco red , the six-quart size handles everything from a family chili night to a pot roast that simmers all day.

Many recipes require some cook time on “high,” and then a transition to “low,” or even just “warm.” Without a programmable feature , that means you’re switching things manually throughout the day (if you remember!). This slow cooker’s programmable feature makes it even easier to “set it and forget it” until it’s time to eat.
