Get your Memorial Day sale shopping done before the grill's even been fired up. (Amazon/Nordstrom/QVC)(Amazon/Nordstrom/QVC)
If all the hubbub around Memorial Day sales feels overwhelming, I welcome you to this quieter corner of markdown mania. Even though I, a professional deals writer, look forward to browsing through thousands of discounts whenever a holiday savings event rolls around, I understand that not everyone has the time or patience for endless scrolling. Besides, if I'm being honest? Most deals aren't that great anyway; easier to let someone like me do the digging and present you with the best bargains of the bunch. Speaking of which, I've done just that: Here are my top 11 findings, all Yahoo shopping editor-vetted and approved.
If you can't remember the last time you replaced your carbon monoxide detector, it's probably time for a new one. At under half a pound and 5 inches wide, the Kidde makes a smart travel mate, but it's ideal for at-home use as well. It calls for two AA batteries (included) and can be mounted to a wall or placed on a table or other flat surface.

Keep things looking fresh on the go courtesy of this Oprah-approved fabric smoother. The Nori was featured on her 2022 Favorite Things list, where the Queen of All Media noted that "this gadget quickly presses both sides of a shirt, dress or pair of pants and reaches its highest temperature in three minutes," adding: "You can also use it to steam or refresh clothes." At less than 1.5 pounds, it's travel-friendly too.
Yes, you read that right — there's a pair of fan-favorite Zella leggings on sale for less than $50. These soft, stretchy bottoms are moisture-wicking and have a high waistband that won't slip down no matter how much you move around.
"These leggings are so soft with the perfect amount of stretch and compression," explained a fan. "They're my go-to for Hitt workouts or I can just casually wear them all day long and they're comfortable. Not too thick, not too thin and perfectly sleek with minimal lines. The top waistband is very comfortable."
You'll feel like you have your own personal smoothie shop with this best-in-class blender. Boasting a 2-horsepower motor, it'll effortlessly blitz up ice and frozen fruit, though you could also use it for whizzing up sauces or even grinding up meat.
From soup to nuts (as in, homemade nut butters), this workhorse will level up your meal prep like no other — and this is the best price we're seeing.
If thinning brows are a concern of yours, this serum has thousands of fans who say it's helped their arches look fuller. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, amino acids and vitamin E, it helps condition your brows for a healthier, more voluminous appearance. Apply once daily and you should see the full results in about four months. Grab it while it's a rare 34% off.
The best meals are the ones you can make by tossing all of the ingredients into one cooking vessel, then setting and forgetting. That's probably why the Instant Pot has become such a fan favorite — and this compact model, with its seven functions in one, is so versatile, it just might become your most-used appliance.
Make rice, sear chicken ... or heck, even whip up some yogurt in it. (Its three-quart capacity is ideal for smaller households.) Oh, and this discount brings the price down to about as low as it's been all year.
Have a car full of fast food containers and crumpled napkins? Consider scooping up this No. 1 bestseller while it's down to its best price of the year. It's loaded with pockets for stashing road snacks, tissues and more, and its leakproof inner lining helps ensure nothing icky seeps out. Now you can give friends a ride without making excuses about why the floor is so messy.
