Independence Day is this weekend, which means you probably have your holiday cookout or beach day plans down. While you might be out and about, don’t sleep on the many sales happening this week. Dozens of sites and stores are offering July 4th or summer-adjacent markdowns this week, so we went through and found the best deals. Not only are these items useful in your home or kitchen, we tried to find the ones that’ll save you a significant amount of money. Whether you’re just looking to buy a few glasses for summer entertaining or pull the trigger on a bigger purchase for an appliance, check out our curated list.
We’ll be updating as more sales are announced, so check back to find deals on everything from iconic S’Well bottles to all the meat you need for an epic night of at-home Korean barbecue.
We’re recommending these products because we actually use, and like, them. Things you buy through our links may earn us a commission.
Sur La Table
The kitchen and home retailer has several promotions running this weekend. From now until July 5th, shoppers can get 20 percent off their entire purchase with promo code STAR5. If you’re looking to stock your home for al fresco dining, they’re also offering 50 percent off their outdoor entertaining dinnerware. For ultimate sale hunters, you can also take an additional 20 percent off clearance items until the 5th.
Staub Tall Cocotte
Staub’s Cocotte is one of our favorite cast iron dutch ovens, because it’s versatile enough for stews, roasting chickens, and more. Staub Cocottes actually go on sale pretty regularly, so it’s definitely worth snagging them when they’re at a discount, and this is an item we’d almost never pay full price for.
Get Staub Tall Cocotte ($200, was $486)→
20-Piece Glass Storage Container Set With Pen
Food containers should be on any kitchen’s essentials list for storing leftovers or prepped ingredients. We like Sur La Table’s 20-piece set because of the integrated measurements on the sides of the glass. It also comes with a dry erase pen so you can note what’s inside.
Get 20-piece Glass Storage Container Set With Pen ($40, was $70)→

Misen
Misen’s entire collection of kitchen essentials like knives, cookware, and prep accessories is on sale this weekend. Everything on their site is 20 percent off for a limited time, so it’s a great opportunity to get yourselves a solid frying pan or a set of knives.
Misen 10-Inch Stainless Steel Skillet
This workhorse skillet is one of our favorite DTC options when it comes to frying pans you’ll reach for again and again. The pan is compatible with all cooktops, and you can pop it in the oven for a reverse seared steak or to keep veggies warm before serving.
Get a Misen Stainless Skillet ($52, was $65) →
Misen Universal Lid
We’ve all been there: you’re cooking something that needs a lid to retain its moisture so it doesn’t become a dry, crumbly mess but you can’t find one that fits your pan anywhere. Misen’s universal silicone lid offers an easy solution that fits pretty much every pot and pan you already have.
Get Misen Universal Lid ($10, was $13)→
Nordstrom
We anticipate seeing many more markdowns from the retail giant after Independence Day weekend, since Nordstrom will release it’s Anniversary Sale preview on the 6th. However, there are still a few good home and kitchen deals you can snag before the Anniversary Sale madness begins in earnest.
This carbonator is certainly the nicest-looking one on the market, and is perfect for days when you crave seltzer but aren’t willing to trek to the store. Get Aarke Sparkling Water Maker ($186, was $219)→
Ohom Ui Monogram Golden Mug & Warmer Set
We cannot overstate how life changing this mug is if you tend to forget your coffee or work from home. This mug and warmer keeps coffee piping hot when you’re distracted by my work, and on weekends, the charger can a godsend when friends come over with 2 percent battery on their phones.
Get Ohom Ui Monogram Golden Mug & Warmer Set ($31, was $79)→
LÉKUÉ Vegetable Ricer
This ricer’s intended purpose is to finely mince veggies like cauliflower or broccoli into a rice-like consistency, but a reviewer said it also works for grinding up a different kind of herb as well, if you catch our drift.
Get LÉKUÉ Vegetable Ricer ($6, was $15)→

HydroFlask 16 Oz Coffee Mug
You can’t go wrong with a Hydroflask when it comes to keeping your coffee hot all day. Their coffee bottle’s insulation is arguably too good, as I’ve poured piping hot tea into it in the morning, and still burned my tongue several hours later.
