The 15 Best Deals of the Week (Including a Sale on Japanese Pantry Staples)
We have finally reached air-fryer levels of heat in New York City, which means every bartender you know is toting their Coleman cooler to the nearest body of water before their shift and every office-goer is trying to figure out what level of ventilated shoe they can get away with. (Personally, I say let the platform Crocs rip.)
We're also edging some of the biggest sale events of the year: Amazon Prime Day, aka Bezos' annual deals bacchanal, and an influx of Fourth of July sales on all kinds of summer-centric kitchen items, from Traeger grills to mid-century modern patio furniture; there are plenty of picnic table-ready finds, what with savings on gingham European linen tablecloths and tomato-shaped cocottes from heritage brands like Staub.
Whether you're restocking your somen noodles for easy, cool summer dinners or looking to save $640 on the ultimate outdoor sectional, this week's deals are ripe for the picking.
There was a point a few years ago when every design-savvy apartment in Williamsburg had the cult-fave Sven sofa — and the company behind it, Article, has managed to maintain its place as one of the most prominent makers of mid-century-modern-style furniture. It has already kicked off its Fourth of July sale with deals of up to 40 percent off, and we have our eyes on its bistro sets, statement dining chairs, and an outdoor sectional worthy of a 1970s conversation pit.
I only discovered Piglet in Bed this past year, but the Horsham, U.K.-based brand is exactly what it sounds like: a purveyor of ultra-soft gingham linens, striped ceramic mugs, and other cottagecore items that would be right at home in Kate Winslet's cottage in The Holiday. There are quite a few tablecloths, napkins, and throws for sale on the site right now that are made in Portugal from 100% natural stonewashed European linen.
Williams Sonoma always has some juicy sales cooking, but it's not every day that you can find Staub cookware in its hallowed halls for up to 50 percent off; highlights include deals on Dutch ovens of varying sizes, as well as whimsical artichoke- and tomato-shaped cocottes.
Japanese Taste is an online Japanese marketplace where you can find everything from at-home sushi kits to smoked Kewpie mayonnaise (!). There's a nice selection of pantry goods on sale right now, but our top picks include a three-year barrel-aged soy sauce and handmade somen noodles, the latter of which are ideal for whipping up a refreshing, cold summer dish.
While Amazon Prime Day proper will run from July 8–11, there are already deals rolling out in all kinds of kitchen-related categories. The Eater shopping team will be hunting down the very best savings — meaning, deals that are at least 20 percent off — for the next few weeks, and standouts so far include Italian tablewares from Alessi, affordable Japanese chef's knives, high-tech kitchen vacuums, and non-plastic storage containers.
There's an Eater guide dedicated to the best non-plastic food storage options beloved by our staffers, and this set of BPA-free glass containers definitely makes the cut.

Stars, stripes and sticker shock? Certain cookout items may be more expensive this year, study finds
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — You may be gearing up to start the grill and prepare the perfect July 4 picnic, but you may still find some sticker shock on grocery store shelves, despite a new report showing the average cookout will cost less than last year. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), this year marks the second-highest average Independence Day cookout cost since the organization began tracking in 2013. The average cost of a Fourth of July picnic for 10 people will cost $70.92 in 2025, down slightly from $71.22 last year. 'Inflation and lower availability of some food items continue to keep prices stubbornly high for America's families,' said AFBF associate economist Samantha Ayoub. 'High prices don't mean more money for farmers, however.' 'Farmers are price takers, not price makers,' she continued. 'Their share of the food retail dollar is just 15%. The cost of running their farm is up, from labor and transportation to taxes.' The AFBF determines the average cost for cookout staples like cheeseburgers, potato salad and ice cream by having volunteers visit their local grocery stores nationwide to review prices. This year, the cost breakdowns were collected in early June. The 2025 data show an increase in the cost of beef, potato salad and canned pork and beans, while there are drops in the cost of pork chops, chips, and hamburger buns. The table below shows this year's estimated costs on the left, beside last year's costs found by AFBF. According to the AFBF, 2025 marks the highest price for beef since they began tracking cookout prices. Rising beef prices have been fueled by drought conditions, consumer demand, and the recent New World screwworm threat. Meanwhile, pork prices have dropped compared to last year thanks to 'elevated production and higher market hog weights.' Another analysis by Wells Fargo found similar price increases over the last year, as well as higher costs across produce items. Cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, and baby carrots are all up at least 1 percent in that time frame, while cherry tomatoes are up 3.7 percent. Common cookout goods that have also seen a price hike since 2024 include apple pie (1.5 percent), beer and wines (under 2 percent), liter bottles of soda (2 percent), and flavored sparkling waters (4.7 percent). Eggs, seemingly still seeing high prices due to the avian flu, are up 40 percent over the last year, according to Wells Fargo. The latest Consumer Price Index shows at-home food costs are up 2.2 percent over the last year. The cost of food away from home, meanwhile, is up 3.8 percent.

Southwest CEO says he's open to adding lounges — and flights to Europe
Southwest Airlines ' transformation could become even more radical, as its CEO eyes plenty of potential changes. "Whatever customers need in 2025, 2030, we won't take any of that off the table," Bob Jordan told CNBC on Wednesday. "We'll do it the Southwest way, but we're not going to say 'We would never do that.'" He added that some people decide not to fly with Southwest because it doesn't offer "things like lounges, like true premium, like flying long-haul international." The Dallas-based budget airline has started overhauling its business model in recent months. Since the pandemic, passengers' spending habits have changed as more are now willing to pay for premium options. Coupled with increased fuel and labor costs, plus overcapacity in the domestic market, that spelled bad news for budget airlines' bottom lines. Southwest has also faced pressure from the activist investor Elliott Investment Management. The stock is up more than 10% over the past 12 months, but flat over the past five years. Last July, the airline announced that it would end its signature open-seating policy — instead encouraging customers to pay to choose where they sit and for upgrades like extra legroom. Ryanair, the European budget airline modeled on Southwest, introduced allocated seating more than a decade ago. And last month, Southwest ended its trademark policy of " two bags fly free." It now costs $35 for a first checked bag and $45 for a second one — although all loyalty members and credit card holders can get one for free. It's clear that Southwest is angling itself to encourage more loyalty and promote upgrades, but Jordan's comments suggest it isn't done just yet. The airline serves a number of destinations in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Last month, Southwest asked the Department of Transportation for permission to fly to any of the 100-plus countries with which the US has an Open Skies agreement. In the filing, the airline said that being granted such permission would "promote competition and increase the traveling public's ability to access Southwest's high-quality, low-fare service." A Southwest spokesperson told Business Insider that the filing was "not necessarily indicative of anything forthcoming." On Wednesday, Jordan told CNBC: "No commitment, but you can certainly see a day when we are as Southwest Airlines serving long-haul destinations like Europe." "Obviously you would need a different aircraft to serve that mission, and we're open to looking at what it would take to serve that mission."
