The deals are sizzling on BBQ-upgrading Traeger grills, unbreakable glassware, and chic Ban.do picnic blankets
Smell that? It’s a flight of hot dogs sizzling on the grill — some Portillo’s brats, straight out of Vatican City (one can only pray). As far as Eater’s East Coast team is concerned, we’re in that fickle yet enchanting window where the weather wavers between balmy, bashful spring drizzles and the scorching, haul-out-the-grill-temps of summer. Naturally, the best deals this week are reflective of our collective seasonal shift outdoors.
Last week, we found deals on candy apple red Moccamasters, KitchenAid mixers of all shapes and sizes, and reusable coasters that look like Barcelona tiles. Today, the sales lean into park hang season with deals on splash-proof picnic blankets that can handle your messiest natural wine fumbles, grills from Traeger, and all kinds of unbreakable glassware that you can bring poolside, to the beach, and anywhere else you might need to sip a portable cocktail this summer.
Make a little more room in that farmers market tote for the best deals of the week.
Barbecue season is coming, and Traeger’s high-tech grills are up to $300 off
I will always make the pilgrimage to Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook, Brooklyn once summer comes around — the pit-smoked meats are often hailed as the best in New York City — but a wood pellet grill from Traeger can help capture that covetable wood-fired, smoky flavor from the comfort of your own home. Plus, Traeger’s grills come with a Set-It & Forget-It temperature control option that sets you up for fail-proof grilling, roasting, smoking, and braising brisket to your heart’s content. A variety of powerhouse grills and accessories are up to $300 off right now on the site, just in time for barbecue season and Father’s Day.

Wayfair’s best shatterproof glassware is on sale
I bought a set of sexy, dark green acrylic Tritan tumblers several years ago at Gelson’s, and they have yet to let me down (i.e., break) — plus, they continue to keep house guests thinking that they’re made out of glass at first glance. There’s an entire Eater shopping guide to the benefits of investing in acrylic — aka virtually unbreakable — glassware, but Wayfair is having some particularly enticing deals on a variety of al-fresco-dining-ready styles this week.

Get up to 62% off colorful utensils at Material’s Last Bite Sale
It’s always a good time to swap out those black plastic cooking utensils for BPA-free nontoxic options, but now (especially) feels like an opportune moment given the potential price increases that tariffs could bring to silicone cooking tools from some of our favorite brands. Material Kitchen is having its Last Bite Sale right now, and some of its most charming, color-popping, nontoxic tools are more than 50 percent off.
