The One Extremely Good Deal I’m Buying in Wayfair’s Memorial Day Sale (Going on Now!)
Memorial Day is first and foremost a solemn holiday to remember the sacrifice of our military men and women. But somehow the holiday has also come to mean BIG SALES. And Wayfair’s Memorial Day sale is one of the biggest, with discounted kitchen essentials by up to 70 percent. SEVENTY!
There are all sorts of things on sale: pots and pans, knives, and every small appliance you might need or want. If your kitchen is missing something or if you know you’ll need a present for a graduation/engagement/wedding/birthday sometime in the near future, you’ll almost definitely find it on sale at Wayfair right now (the sale goes through May 28).
Personally, I’m considering this Bonavita 5-Cup Coffee Maker — which is compact, attractive, and won’t break the bank — and the Dash Deluxe 1-Quart Ice Cream Maker ($32, normally $50), which has a small footprint, uncomplicated design, and cheery good looks.
And now, a few other great finds from Wayfair’s Memorial Day sale.
1. Hamilton Beach Smoothie Smart Blender, $40 (normally $60)
This blender was literally invented to make smoothies. It’s got a specially setting that will start a 45-second smart blending cycle to pulverize ice and frozen fruit. Surely you can wait 45 seconds, right?
2. J.A. Henckels Graphite Steak Knife Set, $30 (normally $134)
Whether you’re making steak on the grill in the summer or steak in the oven in the middle of winter, you’re gonna want a good set of steak knives. They can get super expensive, though, so if you find a set from a good brand (like this one!) for less than $10 per knife, you should jump on it.
3. DASH 1.2-Liter Compact Air Fryer, $37 (normally $100)
This little guy is just what you need if want to get in on the air fryer trend and you live alone or just have one other roommate. It’s adorable and cooks just as well as many of its bigger counterparts. It even gets the seal of approval from our gear pro!
4. Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker, $50 (normally $80)
If you’ve been holding out for winter weather to get a new slow cooker, that would be a mistake. Why? Because Kitchn has loads of slow cooker recipes that are perfect for summer. Think about it! What would you rather turn on during a heatwave: your slow cooker or your giant oven?
5. Cuisinart 1.5-Quart Ice Cream Maker, $49 (normally $71)
Why does everyone have this Cuisinart ice cream maker
