Memorial Day 2026 is almost here, and Amazon has some of the best deals of the holiday weekend. If you’ve been eyeing a new mattress, home appliances or other big ticket item, Memorial Day is a great time to shop, according to experts.
I’ve been covering major sales events like this, Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day for years, following retailers and tracking prices. This week, I combed through the site and asked my fellow editors for their must-have recommendations to find the best deals on Amazon. To save you hours of endless scrolling, I’m sharing those deals below.

Best Memorial Day kitchen and appliances deals
With fuel prices rising, an electric pellet grill is an attractive idea, and this popular model from Traeger is 32% off for Memorial Day. It has a large main cooking area plus an extra grill rack toward the back to keep cooked food warm (but not continuing to cook). It also has a small screen and dial that lets you adjust the temperature of the grill and view the temperature of the built-in food probe. The smaller Traeger Pro 22 is also on sale.
This electric salt and pepper grinder set has a 4.6-star average rating from more than 4,000 shoppers on Amazon. It has a few tricks built-in, including a small light, adjustable fine-course grinder and USB-C charging.

NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin has used this air purifier for years to help combat her dust and allergen sensitivity, plus suck up pet dander from her two cats and small dog. It’s rated for rooms up to 361 square feet — think city apartments or small living rooms. Plus you only need to replace the filter every 12 months, fewer times than most competitors.
NBC Select contributing editor Bethany Heitman swears by this affordable handheld steamer. It’s easy to use, weighs less than two pounds and is about the size of an iPad Mini. Just remember to fill it with distilled or purified water.

This is one of our favorite sunscreens for sensitive skin for dark skin tones or anyone looking for a high quality daily face sunscreen. It’s noncomedogenic, meaning it doesn’t clog pores, and it’s naturally anti-inflammatory, a big reason why it’s a favorite among experts and NBC Select staff. The tinted version is also 20% off right now.
This affordable powdered dry shampoo uses ingredients like ginseng, biotin and betaine to help moisturize and nourish the scalp. It’s also small enough to pack and use on the go, so you have it wherever you need it. It’s no wonder it has a 4.2-star average rating from more than 7,000 shoppers on Amazon.
These pore pads have two textures: a soft, hydrating side to help calm the skin and a textured side for exfoliating and removing dead skin cells. Malin has been using them for more than six months, and they’ve made her skin softer, smoother and have reduced the size of the pores in her t-zone.

This is one of our favorite mattresses that ships in a box — it’s made up of four foam layers that mix breathability, airflow, cushion and support. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio uses a similar model from the brand and it strikes a great middle ground between firm and soft (her and her husband prefer different levels of firmness).

This small power bank is my go-to for keeping my phone and earbuds charged when I’m out or traveling. It has a retractable charging cable that’s there when you need it and tucks away neatly when you don’t. It also has extra ports on top if you need to plug in two devices at once.
A streaming device is usually faster than using your smart TVs built-in apps. This one from Amazon has all your favorite apps, streams in 4K resolution and can sync with your Amazon account to deliver notifications on Amazon deliveries.
If you own an iPhone, these are some of the best wireless earbuds you can get, and they are less than $100 right now.. They have an improved IP54 dust and water resistance ratings compared to previous models, plus a new voice isolation feature that reduces background noise when you speak on calls and FaceTime.

This is one of the best cable organizers and travel accessories you can get for a price this low — and it’s on further sale. The simple fabric pouch has ten different netted pockets for organizing all your cables, dongles and doodads. It zips shut to keep everything contained in the pouch, and not spilling everywhere in your bag.
A personal water filter is a must-have for any emergency kit. This upgrade over the original Lifestraw filter can screw onto standard plastic water bottles, so you aren’t restricted to solely drinking water at the source.
