When it comes to long weekends, nothing beats Memorial Day. It marks the unofficial start of summer with barbecues, salted strawberry daiquiris by the pool, and of course, Memorial Day sales. While you might start by saving on mattresses and furniture, don't forget that it's also a great time to score great deals on cookware and kitchen appliances.
Whether you're looking to upgrade your dinner party dishes, pick up a KitchenAid stand mixer, or are looking for a reason to buy that cute Dutch oven you saw on Instagram, now is the time to act. To help you get started, we've rounded up some of the best Memorial Day sales of 2024 from a variety of your favorite retailers. Don't wait until the long weekend to shop.
If you don't want to procrastinate, shop Amazon's fast-shipping Memorial Day sale. Finding an actual good deal on Amazon's site is as tough as ever, so we've dug deep to find the kitchen deals you really should consider. Our favorite high-tech meat thermometer is 30% off, just in time to cook your steaks to perfection this grilling season. (Buy it now and you might have it in time for this weekend's barbecue.) Nespresso, our favorite way to make quality coffee, is offering 36% off its Vertuo Plus model, which is unmatched when it comes to quality coffee makers. And if you want to forgo the oven this season, we recommend the following sale on Ninja's XL air fryer. Get a huge discount on the popular Dyson cordless vacuum to clean up all those messes in your kitchen.
Are you planning on going semi-professional pizza maker this summer? Maybe you are, as Ooni, a pizza oven maker beloved by BA editors and pizza pros, is offering 30% off its wood-pellet-powered Fyra 12 oven (we have our full Fyra review here), 20% off its gas-powered Koda 12 oven and Koda 16 oven, and 20% off its multi-fuel Karu 16 oven, which can run on wood, charcoal, and gas.
Target is offering early Memorial Day sales on Staub Dutch ovens (including the trendy tomato mold you may have seen on TikTok) and Fat Daddio cake pans (aka the best cake pans in existence).
Walmart
We know Walmart isn't glamorous, but you can't miss out on some seriously great deals on our favorite kitchen gadgets. The Ninja Creami is a kitchen gadget that made waves last summer. We reviewed it on Epicurious, and we thought it was truly worthy of the buzz. The popular KitchenAid mixer is available in a sleek silver matte finish. Or, you could pick up a discounted sous vide cooker to help keep your pork chops at the perfect internal temperature before searing them on the gas grill.
If you're looking for great deals on high-end kitchen appliances, cookware, and cutlery, check out Williams-Sonoma's Memorial Day Sale. Two of our favorite big-ticket cookware brands, All-Clad and Hestan, are on sale at steep discounts. You'll also find great deals on our favorite stylish electric kettle, the Stag, and the Opus coffee grinder (winner of our best coffee grinder test) from Fellow. We're also selling great deals on that GE Opal ice maker we always talk about, and Global knives, a test kitchen favorite. Plus, lots of Le Creuset cookware is on sale.

Wayfair
Here you'll find great deals on outdoor furniture for Memorial Day weekend. You'll find the perfect countertops for setting up a fully equipped grilling station, umbrellas to shade you from the sun while hosting an outdoor cocktail party, outdoor dining tables, and other patio furniture we love.
While you're browsing sheets, pillows, and bed frames during Parachute's huge sale event (25% off sitewide, 30% off sets), be sure to check out the dining section, which is stocked with ceramic mugs, stoneware serving platters, table linens, and more. Our favorite is the Linen Waffle Tabletop Collection, which evokes “a crisp lunch in the south of France” but is actually closer to “a sweaty potluck at a tiny folding table on your fire escape.”
If you've always wanted some chic Scandinavian cookware from Dansk, now's your chance to get it on sale at Food52. You'll also find some great tableware from the brand at discounted prices. Check out these chic glass olive oil shakers and Zwilling kitchen scissors:
We've said it before and we'll say it again: You need a Dutch oven, but it doesn't have to cost $300. Great Jones' oval enameled cast-iron Dutchess fits a whole chicken perfectly and looks great on the table. And while you're there, grab a cute ceramic baking dish, too, because through May 29, you'll get 25% off sitewide with code HOTDOG.
From insulated tumblers to stand-up snack bags to airtight bowls, W&P has all the stylish containers you need to carry food and drinks on the go. They also make what, in our opinion, are the best ice cube trays on the market. Choose from a color palette that includes neutrals, pastels, and speckled patterns. They're offering a whopping 40% off sitewide through Memorial Day.
Best Buy
Memorial Day sales often include big discounts on appliances. Best Buy is your best bet for these big appliance deals. If you're renovating your kitchen and are looking to upgrade with brand new appliances, Best Buy's appliance deals are the way to go. Save over $100 on 2 appliances, over $300 on 3 appliances, over $500 on 4 appliances, and over $700 on 5 appliances. Shop microwaves, ranges, and refrigerators.
Brooklinen: It's not just linen. Of course, you should pick up some linen, too. There's a sitewide 20% off sale this holiday weekend. We're eyeing Pendleton blankets for summer picnics, this candle set, and this chic soap dish. And, of course, a breathable linen sheet set for summer or those who like to get hot.
We're fans of Made In's high-quality cookware at more affordable prices, and now you can save even more with some of the best Memorial Day 2023 sales, including 30% off a Carbon Steel Grill Set and a 3-Piece Carbon Fry Pan Set, 40% off a Wine Glass Set, and 25% off a Knife Set. (By the way, this company makes some of the best nonstick pans out there.)
Home Depot
Home Depot also has great deals on grilling gear. Our favorite gas grill, the Weber Genesis E-325, is on sale for just $50 off (we'll keep an eye on their website to see if it drops further in the future). The cult-favorite smoker, the Kamado Joe, is on sale for $150 off. Plus, you'll find home goods like patio furniture and appliances like microwaves and refrigerators.
All-Clad cookware sets, Le Creuset Dutch ovens, Ooni pizza ovens, Dyson vacuums, and more can all be found here.

Here are some standout items that our editors love: this Zwilling personal blender, this GE Nugget Ice Maker, and this Global 8-inch chef's knife.
The only thing worse than running out of cold beer at your Memorial Day BBQ (seriously, you can never have enough ice) is serving up undercooked chicken. With Thermoworks, you won't have to worry about that. The classic Thermapen is lightning fast and incredibly accurate. Get $20 off the classic gray color while supplies last. For those who grill more intensely, we recommend the Smoke X long-range thermometer. Plug in the probe to track temperatures over time. It can read temperatures from up to 1.24 miles away, so you won't miss the lawn game while smoking that brisket.
GIR started with a mission to revolutionize spatulas (we're kind of obsessed with these mini spatulas), and has since expanded to make everything from stainless steel whisks to silicone baking mats. Take advantage of 20% off GIR's site-wide this Memorial Day weekend.
Nordstrom
Nordstrom's summer sale is mostly focused on apparel, but there are also plenty of great deals on tabletop decor. Below are some of our favorites, including some super cute glassware.
More great deals from Samsung, REI, and Macy's
Don't wait until Black Friday to get discounts on tech products. Samsung is running a Discover sale, and of course you'll find plenty of deals on phones, tablets, and headphones. But you're here for the cookware, so save on appliances like stoves, refrigerators, and microwaves. REI is offering up to 50% off camping cookware, including this cool camping stove, Hydroflask water bottle, and Jetboil cooking system.
