I shopped thousands of Amazon discounts to find the 30 best early Memorial Day deals
Amazon is ramping up savings to outfit your patio and beyond for Memorial Day. These early deals make for the perfect time to score one of our best-tested grills, finally switch to an electric lawn mower or score the latest gear from Apple — all without paying full price. I've been covering holiday savings events for nearly a decade and am applying my learnings to find the 30 best early Memorial Day deals to shop ahead of time.
Traeger Grills Pro 22 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker
Traeger has a pretty devoted following because of its efficient wood pellet setup. This model doesn't just grill either! It can also smoke, bake, braise and roast.
Ego Power+ LM2135SP 21-Inch Select Cut Electric Lawn Mower
Ego Power's mower is our pick for the best electric lawn mower, and it just became an even better addition to the tool shed. This model sports a 21-inch cutting patch and is now $100 off at the best Amazon price in 2025.

The Bonfire 2.0 rose to the top of our list of the best smokeless fire pit, and now Amazon is offering a rare chance to save. On top of being the second discount I've tracked at the retailer this year, it is also the lowest Amazon price in 2025. Read our review
Anker Solix C300 Portable Power Station
We tested the DC version of this portable power station, walking away impressed with just how much power Anker could pack into a portable design. It has a 288-watt-hour LiFePO4 battery that's built to last and keep your gear running through power outages or even while camping. Today's offer comes within $10 of its best-ever price.
Weber 22-Inch Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill
Take $149 off this 22-inch Weber grill while it's down to the best Amazon price of the year. It arrives before Memorial Day and is one of the best charcoal grill deals I've found before the holiday.
Greenworks 60V 17-Inch Push Electric Lawn Mower
This electric mower from Greenworks may not have cut our guide to the best lawn care tools, but it's worth mentioning with today's $120 discount. It features all the bells and whistles, such as fast-charging batteries and dual blades for mulching, with a more affordable price than our best-tested pick.
AreShark 9-Foot Outdoor Patio Umbrella
Shade your Memorial Day picnic guests with this 9-foot umbrella. It won't break the bank and ensures your friends and family can stay cool while relaxing outdoors during the holiday weekend and beyond.
Traeger Grills Ironwood 885 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker
Traeger's Ironwood currently holds our accolade as the best pellet grill. Bringing the very best to your patio would normally run you a pretty penny, but at least this early Memorial Day deal is taking $200 off. Those who treat cooking like a science will appreciate this top-of-the-line pellet grill with customizable temperature settings from the companion app. Read our review
Apple iPad (11th Gen)
Apple just updated its most affordable iPad with this 11th-generation model, and now it's at its best price yet. It's the successor to our best iPad pick and will likely dethrone the older edition once we adjust our guide, especially if this $50 discount sticks around past Memorial Day.
Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Audio Travel Transmitter
I've never tracked a better deal on this must-have travel accessory. Share audio from any device with a headphone jack — mainly in-flight entertainment systems — to your wireless earbuds. It even works with gym treadmills for when you're not flying.
Ugreen 25,000mAh Power Bank
This 25,000mAh power bank rose to the top of our best portable chargers list for laptops and tablets. That was back when it sold for $100. Now, Amazon is taking 25% off with one of the better discounts I've spotted. It's $5 under the previous offer and at its lowest price in months.
LG 65-Inch UR9000 Smart TV
Great TV deals are going live ahead of Memorial Day. As I've been curating a full roundup of the season's best offers, this 65-inch LG model caught my eye. It has a sizable 4K panel and solid sale price over 20% off the going rate.
Anker 525 7-in-1 USB-C Power Strip
Charge everything from your iPhone to your MacBook with this 7-in-1 power strip. It has several USB-C and USB-A ports, plus three full AC outlets on the back. I love that the 5-foot power cord means you can place it on a desk, nightstand or anywhere else that's not directly next to an outlet.

Analyst sees an unpleasant change coming to Amazon Prime
People tend to have mixed opinions about Amazon (AMZN) as a company, but many could care less as long as their packages are delivered on time. 180 million Americans subscribed to Amazon Prime as of 2024, according to research from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, a company that has tracked Amazon memberships since 2014. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter That's a massive number of folks willing to pay $139 a year for Amazon's signature speed-of-light shipping, along with access to Prime Day, Prime Video, Prime Reading, Amazon Music, discounts at Whole Foods and more. Amazon has worked hard to make sure the service offers plenty more than just fast shipping as its raised the price over the years. When it launched in 2005, Amazon Prime was just $79 annually. Related: Walmart delivers Amazon some really bad news Its last price hike was in 2022, when it went from $119 to $139. But the increase didn't deter growth, and the subscriber base has continued to increase every year. Now experts say that Amazon has a change coming this year that subscribers aren't going to like. According to a new research note released by J.P. Morgan on June 25, it's highly likely that Amazon Prime will increase in price soon. "The expectation is driven by rising costs in shipping, fulfillment, and the expansion of Prime's offerings, including streaming and exclusive content," the note reads. More Retail: Huge retail chain suddenly closing hundreds of storesMajor retailer scores huge benefit from Joann bankruptcyHome Depot, Target, Ulta and more strike back at retail crime J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth deeply researched Prime and estimated that unbundling all of its components shows that the subscription is worth a lot more than the $139 price tag. Anmuth's estimations value a Prime subscription at $1,430 per year, in fact. This is why J.P. Morgan predicts that the retail giant will likely increase the price of Prime to $159 in 2026, which is on par with Amazon's cycle of increasing the cost every four years. Related: Amazon shuts down another key business location Amazon has good reason to make the move too. According to the note, "A $20 U.S. Prime price increase is seen driving about $3 billion in incremental annualized net sales." J.P. Morgan also projected that Prime will continue to see major growth, predicting that the company will approach 350M members in 2025. While J.P. Morgan clearly sees Amazon increasing the cost of Prime in the near future as a good thing for its business, people may not be as amicable to the idea as they have been in the past. An uncertain economic climate, driven largely by the trade war started by the announcement of President Trump's tariffs in April, has caused consumers to become very wary of any purchases that aren't absolutely necessary. This is starkly reflected in the retail report for May, where sales fell 0.9% per the Commerce Department. Compared to only a 1% decline in April, it marks a steep change in the way people are spending - or choosing not to spend - their money. It's hard to say how things may change by 2026, when Amazon would most likely announce a price increase. But its next jump may make the service too rich for people's tastes.

3 AI Stocks Up 14% to 19% in 2025 That Should Continue Moving Higher
Nvidia recently set a new all-time high, but there could still be upside ahead. Rising chip demand and a low valuation bode well for TSMC. Analysts expect AMD's sales to increase 23% in 2025. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › Many artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have had a rough start in 2025. Developments such as DeepSeek's breakthrough in low-cost AI modeling, as well as tariff and geopolitical concerns, weighed on these stocks. Interestingly, President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" announcement signaled a low for many AI stocks, so much so that some of them have eked out a net gain for the year to date. Additionally, some AI stocks are poised to continue moving higher, and the three stocks below should continue to surge despite recent gains. Will Healy (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing): Chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) (NYSE: TSM) finds itself at the center of its industry and the geopolitical turmoil that has weighed on many AI stocks. TSMC claims just over two-thirds of the foundry market, and top chip companies such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Apple, and Broadcom are among its customers. Moreover, China is a critical customer of many of its clients. Still, that country remains an ongoing threat to the sovereignty of Taiwan, which is home to TSMC's headquarters and the majority of its chip production capacity. That weighed on the stock as trade-war tensions came to a head in early April. Despite that drop, the stock has staged a dramatic recovery since then, so much so that it is now up 14% so far this year. Furthermore, TSMC's revenue growth and valuation could mean the stock is at the beginning of a bull market. As customers scramble to adopt generative AI, demand for AI chips has skyrocketed. In the first quarter of 2025, revenue of $25.5 billion increased 42% from year-ago levels. Also, since TSMC kept operating expense growth in check, its net income surged 60% higher to $11 billion. Additionally, the company forecasts second-quarter revenue between $28.4 billion and $29.2 billion, amounting to 38% growth at the midpoint, indicating that its massive growth is on track to continue. Amid the fears of a takeover, TSMC sells at a P/E ratio of 29. Although investors should not dismiss such worries, China's dependence on the company's chips reduces the likelihood of such a geopolitical event. It also probably means the stock is a bargain, and as rising chip demand continues to drive revenue, TSMC stock is likely to rise along with that trend. Justin Pope (Nvidia): The world's dominant AI data center chip company isn't a flashy pick, but it seems likely that Nvidia, which fell 30% by late April, then rallied back to new all-time highs and a 16% gain year to date, will continue to shine through the rest of the the year. Despite Nvidia's staggering investment returns over the past few years, the equally impressive growth in the underlying business has continued to sustain a reasonable valuation, leaving room for the stock to continue its upward journey. The company's annual revenue has increased from $27 billion in its fiscal year 2023 to $130 billion in its fiscal year 2025. Chips used in AI data centers have become Nvidia's core business. The good news? It appears that AI will drive significant investments in data centers for the foreseeable future. Research by Dell'Oro Group estimates that annual global data center expenditures could grow by 21% annually, surpassing $1 trillion by 2029. At the very least, there are no apparent near-term signs of a pullback in AI investments. Analysts anticipate Nvidia's full-year revenue will reach $200 billion this fiscal year and $250 billion next year. Meanwhile, analysts estimate Nvidia will grow its earnings by nearly 29% annually over the next three to five years. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 50 today. That's a steep valuation for most stocks, but investors can probably make an exception for Nvidia. Its strong business momentum, leadership in AI data center chips, and a strong forecast for continued growth in data center expenditures combine to make the stock a buy at these levels, paving the way for continued gains through the coming months. Jake Lerch (Advanced Micro Devices): My choice is Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). As of this writing, shares of AMD have advanced 19% this year, representing a real bounceback for a stock that declined by 63% between February 2024 and April 2025. The company, which designs microprocessors, is at the forefront of the AI revolution, thanks to its new series of GPUs, which now compete with Nvidia's lineup of AI chips. There are reports that some shipments of Nvidia AI chips, including its top-of-the-line Blackwell unit, have been delayed, which might provide a further opportunity for AMD. AMD already has its MI300X unit available for sale and plans to launch two additional AI units (MI350 and MI400) within the next year and a half. What's more, sell-side analysts are expecting AMD's sales to pick up as it rolls out these new lines of AI chips. According to consensus estimates compiled by Yahoo! Finance, AMD should generate $31.8 billion in sales in 2025 and $37.4 billion in 2026, representing year-over-year growth of 23% and 18%, respectively. Moreover, as AMD ramps up sales of its AI chips, the company's gross margin is widening. As of its most recent quarter (for the three months ending on March 29, 2025), AMD's gross margin stood at 50%, up from 42% in late 2022. While the company's margin remains far behind Nvidia -- which has a gross margin of 61%, AMD has narrowed the gap considerably over the last year. To sum up, AMD is on a roll. Its stock is soaring for the first time in more than a year, it has plans to deliver new, cutting-edge products, and analysts expect its sales to surge over the next 12 to 24 months. Investors looking for an AI stock positioned to move higher should strongly consider AMD right now.

The 2025 MacBook Air Now Costs as Much as a Budget Laptop, Amazon Clears Out Stock Before Prime Day
Amazon has released its first early Prime Day deals at the weekend, and the plus point is that they are available to everyone, not just Prime members. Among the highest demand picks is the 2025 13-inch MacBook Air which is already the year's top bestseller. With a whopping 4.8 out of 5 star rating from nearly a thousand reviews, people have fallen in love with this model. What's even more surprising is that it's already at its all-time lowest price: only $849 instead of the usual $999 for the 256GB model. Since this model was only released in March, not many believed that Apple would offer such a huge discount on a laptop that was already reasonably priced. See at Amazon This MacBook Air is powered by Apple's latest M4 chip which brings a new level of speed and efficiency to everyday computing. Whether you're juggling multiple apps, editing high-resolution videos or playing graphics-intensive games, the M4 chip ensures everything runs smoothly and responsively. This model is also built for Apple Intelligence, Apple's latest personal intelligence system. With a battery life of up to 18 hours from a single battery, you can work, stream and create all day without needing to search for an outlet. The ultra-portable design and light weight of the laptop make it easy to take wherever you go, whether to a coffee shop, a meeting, or a long flight. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display is yet another highlight selling point and boasts a billion colors and rich contrast, crisp text, and detailed vividness. The 12MP Center Stage camera keeps you graciously in frame on video calls, and the three-microphone array and four-speaker system with Spatial Audio ensure you sound and appear your best. The backlit keyboard lets you type comfortably in any environment, and Touch ID enables instant, secure access to your laptop and confidential information. Connectivity is robust with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one MagSafe port for charging, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3. You can link a few external monitors, and scaling your workspace is simple. The shared memory of 16GB and 256GB SSD storage provide you with lots of speed and capacity for most users, if you work with big files, resource-intensive software, or simply manage your digital life. The MacBook Air 13-inch runs macOS which is optimized for performance and security. Popular apps like Microsoft 365 Copilot run effortlessly, and if you're already an iPhone user, you'll appreciate the seamless integration between your devices. At $849, this is the lowest price ever for the 2025 MacBook Air 13-inch, and it's unlikely to last long. See at Amazon
