Got the beach on the brain this week? Maybe it's because the Cannes Film Fest opened down on the Côte d'Azur, complete with a new dress code that puts a serious damper on red-carpet fabulousness.

Amazon early Memorial Day sale: Rare sales
If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. This pair features active noise cancellation, and if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to four hours of listening time per charge (and 20 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.
They've only dipped lower a few times, and not by very much.
More than 6,000 of these powerful handvacs have been purchased in the past month, so you know it's doing something right. Though it weighs just over two pounds, shoppers rave about its strong suction and decent battery life. Plus, you'll be able to zap up larger pieces of debris, thanks to its big mouth(!) According to my price trackers, it's down to its best price in years.
This is the latest version of this iPad, so the fact that it's already on sale makes this a deal worth considering. According to Yahoo Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, "It's an ultra-light, thin tablet that's powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you're swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV.
"If you've got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you're in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you're into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame."
This tough-as-nails pot has "Lodged" its way in my heart. There's not much I haven't made in this thing, from pasta dishes and stews to fried doughnuts, and it's all turned out exceptionally. Its 7.5-quart capacity can fit enough to feed a crowd, and since it's heat-safe up to 500°F, I never have to worry when placing it in the oven. Its slick enamel coating makes cleanup a cinch — never more than a rinse with soap and water, followed by a quick wipe.
At under $100 (hundreds less than a certain French brand), it may have you asking: "Le who?" Plus, it's down to its best price in years.

Robovacs come in clutch for lazy — er, I mean, efficient — cleaners like me. But for a completely hands-off experience? You'll want a self-cleaning model, like this popular unit.

Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart says, "A lightweight moisturizer that won't clog your pores is a must for warmer weather, and fans say this hydrating cream from Kiehl's is just that. It's formulated with 4.5% squalane and glacial glycoproteins (protective compounds that are indeed found in thick slabs of Antarctic ice) that help keep your face moisturized for up to a full day. Also in the mix: avocado, apricot and sweet almond oil." My price trackers tell me this fan-favorite hasn't dropped lower since February.
Ever wish you could connect your earbuds to the in-flight entertainment rather than using those flimsy headphones the airline hands out? Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida calls this a "genius gadget" in his review, saying it "worked flawlessly, pairing easily with my AirPods Pro and remembering that connection from one session to the next." It's on rare sale for its lowest price of 2025, so grab one before your next flight. (Psst: You can also hook it up to the treadmill at the gym.)
Get unstuck with a set of slick pots and pans. This attractive 14-piece collection just about has it all: 8- and 11-inch frying pans, a 4.3-quart casserole with lid, 1.8- and 4.5-quart saucepans with lids, four pan protectors, a spatula and a mixing spoon. That's all for a record-low $66 — less than you'd pay for a single pan from many brands.

Users said their skin was 63% more hydrated after one week and visibly firmer after a month. RoC's retinol serum is recommended and tested by dermatologists."

These kitchen essentials aren't just Amazon bestsellers, they're also Yahoo-editor-approved. "Durable yet lightweight, the flip-style lids were easy to clean and, when locked, the set proved to be airtight," says our home & garden expert Kristin Granero, who named them "best food storage containers overall" after testing many brands.
She continues, "Based on our experience, the containers are also odor- and stain-resistant, so they still smell fresh and look like new after being used to store colorfully sauced foods such as marinara sauce and hot wings. Unlike some other plastic containers on the market, these containers have excellent clarity — especially helpful when you need to identify food quickly or navigate a fully stocked fridge." Since 2023, they've only dipped lower in price by a dollar.

Amazon's No. 1 bestselling blade was crafted with comfort in mind. Its lightweight, ergonomic Pakkawood handle is smoother than actual wood (not to mention, easier to clean) and was designed to minimize wrist stress while offering a stable grip. The 2.5-millimeter blade is made of stainless steel that's rust-, corrosion- and discoloration-resistant, so as long as you keep it sharp, it should endure many a meal-prep session. Word to the wise: Skip the dishwasher and wash this knife (and, in my opinion, all knives) by hand to prolong its life.
One cool feature? Those little hollowed-out ovals lining the blade help prevent sticking, a boon when you're slicing watery onions and tomatoes. Even cooler? This 62% discount.
Smelly fridge? Yeah, not so appetizing. But this unassuming stink slayer works for up to 10 years (yes, you read that right) to keep things fresh. All you do is place it inside and, well, that's actually it. Sorry, baking soda — you've been replaced. This little doodad can also go in closets, drawers, your car ... anywhere that could use some stench removal. This is the lowest it's been since last summer, so scoop it up while you can.
Smaller households don't need a behemoth taking up precious counter space — this sleek, compact model gets the job done and looks great doing it. While it only has two slots, those slots are wide, meaning you can toast bagels and thicker slices of bread. Speaking of bread (and saving it), this appliance is on sale for as low as it's been since January.
Amazon early Memorial Day sale: Tech
Scoring a new MacBook on sale is always a win, and this price is close to as low as this model's ever been marked down to. According to McGraw, "This version features the latest generation M4 chip, meaning you'll get a much more powerful computer with everything else you love about the MacBook Air, including its outstanding 18-hour battery life and gorgeous 13.6-inch screen."
Prefer a smaller tablet over a bulky laptop? This one's within a dollar of its best price ever. McGraw says, "Think this is just a slightly larger version of your phone? Think again. With a 3:2 aspect ratio compared to the iPhone's 2:1, the iPad Mini is much wider and, for those who use their tablets to read, can fit more text and feels more like a book or magazine in your hand. Speaking of fitting in your hand, it's much less cumbersome than the full-size iPad, making it great for travel or slipping into a backpack for your commute."
Whether you'd like to count your steps during warm-weather walks, track your heart rate at the gym or learn more about the quality of your snoozing, this sleek smartwatch lets you do it all right from your wrist.
