Summer is coming.
Warm weather, grill marks, sticky feet.
But before we get there, there is business to attend to: the Memorial Day sale.
It’s the one time a year the grocery bills actually make sense.
Major brands are slashing prices on the stuff that actually goes into our pantries. Fishwife, MìLá, Goldbelly—they’re all discounting their best sellers.
Why?
Because they know we need supplies for the coming heat.
I have the codes. You have the cart.
Salmon That Actually Tastes Smoked
$37 for a three-pack.
Fishwife’s Smoked Atlantic Salmon is one of their signature tins and for good reason. It isn’t trying too hard. It hits that classic profile: rich, savory, with a tiny whisper of sweetness at the end.
Put it on a bagel in the morning. Throw it in a garden salad at noon.
It’s versatile. It’s a pantry staple.
Use the code AT-MD20 to get 20% off the whole site until May 25.
The Dumpling Bundle
$228. Now $140.
The editors at The Kitchn can’t stop talking about MìLá.
If you haven’t tried them yet, this bundle is the crash course.
It has everything. The soup dumplings that broke the internet. Potstickers. Dan dan noodles. Even black sesame dessert dumplings because why not.
You get rose lychee ice cream too.
It comes with the gear as well—two-tiered steamer, dipping bowl, chopsticks—and ships for free.
That is hard to pass up.
Mayo for the Rest of Us
$10 down to $8 for a two-pack.
Molly Baz’s brand Ayoh! is doing 30% off everything.
They make mayonnaise that tastes like it actually matters.
Grab the dill pickle version. Get the hot giardinayo.
These are going on your summer sandwiches whether you plan it or not.
Baby Food Without the Bulk
$3 per pouch.
Little Spoon is taking 50% off with the code NEWSPOONER50.
This works for all stages.
Purées for the little ones. Biteables for the babies learning to chew. Plates for toddlers who are picky. Lunchers for school days.
It is a good time to stock up.
Ribs You Don’t Have to Smoke Yourself
$200.
Goldbelly usually has a sale, but this specific offer is loud.
Four racks of dry-rubbed ribs from Pappy’s Smokehouse in St. Louis.
Smoked over apple and cherry wood.
It’s a heavy purchase for most of us but they ship free.
So why not.
Add Some Heat
$81 down to $57.
You need the Momofuku chili crunch sampler.
It adds texture and fire to almost anything.
Here is the trick: cook your eggs or tofu in a hot pan. Swirl in some chili crunch.
Top with more on the way out. Serve it next to hash browns.
It is, quite honestly, the best breakfast-for-dinner there is.
Plant-Based Convenience
$42 per box.
Thistle sends you meals that are already cooked.
They are plant-forward, high quality, and need zero effort on your end.
You eat it. You’re done.
Good for people who live alone or in pairs and hate washing pots.
Right now you can start for 40% less.
Frozen Filet
$146. Now $133.
We are fans of frozen steak here.
Kansas City Steak Co. sends four pounds of filet mignon tips and medallions.
Vacuum sealed.
Toss them in the air fryer or put them on the grill.
New customers can use code HELLO15 to knock another $15 off if the order is over $35.
The Hot Dog You Didn’t Know You Needed
$12 down to $10 for a pound.
Ali, our Associate Groceries Editor, won’t stop eating these.
She says Snake River Farms American Wagyu hot dogs are smoky, salty, and simply the most flavorful dog she has ever had.
That is a lot to live up to.
Seems it delivers.
Noodles That Are Just Right
$30 for a six-pack.
Carolyn from the email team tried Fly by Jing’s Roasted Garlic Noodles.
Her verdict? Rich umami. No spice.
Because they aren’t hot, they are easy for everyone to eat.
The noodles have a chew to them that feels luxurious compared to standard instant options.
Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. You are eating well.
Membership costs $25 a year and gets you 20% off.
