Amazon is launching the Memorial Day Sale early this year to give more opportunities to save. I found several deals that seem quite worthwhile, though many others were disappointing.
It would really help the website out a lot if you use this link to visit the sale: https://amzn.to/3SHCwjX
It costs you nothing extra, but The OP gets a small commission on any of your purchases.
Now, on to what I’ve found. Remember, some of these deals are time sensitive or are only while supplies last. At the time of publication, all items were available at the sale prices.
Raised garden bed
Check out this galvanized metal raised garden bed – you can save 43% while the deal is going on.
Solar generator
The Bluetti 1000W solar generator is high quality and very well reviewed. You can save 45% on this portable genny and it works well for household items, recharging devices, and other small electronic needs.
Cooling down
I live for cooling towels in the summer. I absolutely despise being hot and these towels are a great way to cool off – you just get them wet, snap them, and apply them for an instant refresh. Here’s a fantastic deal for a 4-pack. I keep them in my trunk, with my gardening tools, and another set with my summer power outage gear.
Another great cool-down option is a portable, rechargeable, battery-operated cooling fan.
Handheld ham radio
Check out this Baofeng handheld ham radio set. It’s a great way to get started with ham radio at an affordable price.
Freeze-dried food
Here are some steals of deals on freeze-dried, shelf-stable foods:
Water filtration
These water filtration devices are currently on sale.
Lifestraw in a nice portable case
4-pack of straw-type water filters from a lesser-known brand
Lifestraw-to-go stainless steel filtered water bottle (this costs a bit more, but I’ve had mine since 2019 and take it every time I travel to filter my tap water. It’s especially useful to take empty through the TSA and then fill with an airport water fountain instead of paying $7 for bottled water at the shops.)
Headlamps
My favorite power outage light source is the humble headlamp. They’re great for hands-free work, walking outdoors in the dark, or reading.
