My Top Picks for Memorial Day Sales on Kitchen Items

Summer is almost here, meaning it’s time for Memorial Day sales! Some incredible cookware products and outdoor grills are drastically discounted this weekend to kickstart summer without breaking the bank. I’ve been scoping out offers on kitchen gadgets, including everything from air fryers and blenders to outdoor grills and barbecue accessories. I even found some Memorial Day deals on products from my favorite brands like Staub, Le Creuset, Kitchenaid, and Oxo. 

Memorial Day sales are synonymous with larger kitchen appliances – especially refrigerators – so some huge sales are happening at Lowes and Home Depot.  I also found some great deals on indoor and outdoor grills at Target, and although Amazon doesn’t have a dedicated Memorial Day Weekend sale, there are hundreds of individual deals on cookware and other kitchen gadgets. Here are my favorite Memorial Day sales!

My 5 Favorite Memorial Day Sales

1. OXO Good Grips Mandoline Slicer

This is the upgraded version of the Oxo Mandoline slicer that I have, and it includes 2-sided, premium Japanese steel blades. It’s usually significantly more expensive than other mandolines, and its high rack rates are what held it back from earning a top spot in our Best Mandoline Slicers round-up. However, this deal alleviates that concern by reducing the price by up to 35%, making this a fantastic and extremely useful purchase. 

1. DASH Deluxe Electric Air Fryer 

Dash is a leading name in air fryers, and this 6-quart model is up to 46% off, placing it in the same price range as much smaller air fryers! It has a basic design that is easy to use, and comes with an automatic shut-off switch. The cooking tray is large enough for 2 pounds of French fries, 2 dozen wings, or even a small chicken!

3. Ninja Dual Brew Coffee Maker 

What’s great about this coffee maker is you can use it for single cups or switch to larger batches with the coffee pot. Right now, save up to $70 off the rack rates with Target’s Memorial Day sales.

4. Oster Blender with Glass Jar

Summer’s the perfect time to whip up some frosted beverages like peach smoothies or my salted caramel protein shakes! If you prefer using a glass jar with your blender (they’re less likely to stain), this touchscreen blender from Oster is a steal! It’s marked down by as much as 30% and includes a 10-year warranty.

5. KitchenAid Hand Mixer

The Kitchenaid brand is especially known for its mixers, but they’re often priced higher than similar products from other companies. However, they’re absolute workhorses in the kitchen (I own the Kitchenaid stand mixer), and this hand mixer has the advantage of being cordless. It’s powered by a rechargeable lithium battery and can make up to 200 cookies on a single charge. At up to 15% off, the price is the lowest I’ve seen in a while.
