The 7 Best Food & Kitchen Deals to Buy This Memorial Day, Starting at Just $37
This weekend is a time to remember the sacrifice of and thank our military men and women for their service. It’s also a time for some major sales on appliances, cookware, and knives. (And mattresses, for some reason.) But we know you don’t want to scroll away on your computer, hunting down the best deals this weekend. No, you want to be outside! That’s why we did that work for you. We rounded up seven of the best kitchen deals we could find and put them all in one place for you.
Note: These were the best prices we could find during time of publication. If you find a better deal somewhere else, please leave it in the comments below and we’ll update this post!
1. 6-Quart Instant Pot LUX, $69 (normally $80)
Instant Pots are basically on sale EVERYWHERE! This is the best price we’ve found for the LUX, which is the most basic model and the one we normally recommend. And we found it for $69 at a few places. We’re listing it on Amazon here because we assume many of you have Amazon Prime.
2. Vitamix Explorian E310 Blender, $300 at Target
This is a weird one, you guys. Usually, the best price we see for the Explorian 310 is around $350. And right now, sites like Wayfair and Macy’s are touting Memorial Day sales for that exact price, which isn’t much of a deal (odd considering many of the other deals on these sites are bargains). Yet Target has the blender listed for $300, WITHOUT calling out any sort of special sale. We don’t totally understand, but you should add it to your cart before something changes!
3. KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer, $320 (normally $380) at Sur la Table
Sur la Table is offering 20 percent off KitchenAid gear, and that obviously includes this iconic and oh-so-reliable stand mixer. This deal also includes KitchenAid attachments, the brand’s adorable 3.5-cup food processor, and KitchenAid’s cold brew coffee maker, which we are absolutely obsessed with. Also, you can get this mixer in either Caviar or Pearl Metallic (black or silver, basically) for just $220 at Walmart.
4. DASH 1.2 Liter Compact Air Fryer, $37 (normally $100) at Wayfair
Is this not the cutest little air fryer you ever did see? It gets the seal of approval from our gear pro as the best air fryer for small families and it’s more than 60 percent off at Wayfair. The best reason to get one now (aside from the major markdown): onion rings on burgers.
5. Dyson V8 Animal Cord-Free Vacuum, $340 (normally $480) at Macy’s
When it comes to vacuuming up your kitchen, nothing beats a Dyson — especially Dysons of the cord-free variety. They’re super easy to navigate (around chair legs), pick up every single crumb, and are small so they’re not prohibitively annoying to pull out every day or two. Save $150 by shopping at Walmart.
6. All-Clad Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 10-Inch Covered Fry Pan, $80 (normally $130) at Macy’s
This covetable pan is marked down to $100 and then you get another $20 off (bringing your total down to just $80) when you use the code MEMDAY. Why spend $80 on a pan? This is not just any pan — it’s an All-Clad, which is a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike because it heats evenly and quickly, and sears like you wouldn’t believe.
7. Wüsthof Classic 8-Inch Chef’s Knife, $90 (normally $187) at Wayfair
We got excited when we saw this knife recently get marked down to $120, but $90 is so much better than $120! If you’re going to have just one knife in your kitchen, it should be a chef’s knife — and the Wüsthof Classic gets our vote for the best chef’s knife for most home cooks. It’s incredibly balanced, easy to rock back and forth, and can handle basically any task. And it’s on major sale.
