Costco is the members-only warehouse that is stacked to the ceiling with groceries to use every day, household staples to stock up on just once a year, and impossibly cheap food-court finds. With summer quickly approaching, it’s time to stock up on snacks for the season. Even at Costco, where the register’s tally can quickly rise higher than the outside temperatures, it is possible to find budget-friendly snacks for sharing.

Like many other parents out there to young kids, I keep multiple fresh fruit options around at all times. I joke with my husband that we spend one-third of our grocery budget on milk, one-third on snacks, and one-third on fruit. (I haven’t officially done the math, but I’m like 95% sure that this is accurate). However, the joke is typically on me because more often than not, the fruit goes bad quicker than I realize — this is especially true for any type of berry. That’s because I’m just not that person who will dunk their newly procured fruit into a vinegar solution and then dry them in a salad spinner — even if it’s been proven to ward off spoilage. For me, it just takes too much time and effort.

Sure, you could host your backyard barbecues and patio hangs this summer using the same old dishes you use day after day — but where’s the fun in that? With the sun shining and the flowers blooming, it’s only fair that your patio table gets the colorful upgrade it deserves. It seems like Dollar Tree understands your need for new dishes and decor — especially because the chain dropped an affordable new line of dinnerware dressed in gorgeous florals and colors. Perfect for the summer season ahead!

Summer will be here in a few short weeks, which means many of our favorite brands are releasing new seasonal products we can’t wait to get our hands on. If you’re in the market to upgrade your kitchen gear, you’ll want to check out Le Creuset’s new peach-colored cookware, for instance, or East Fork’s dishes, which are now also available in an enticing, summery shade. If your pantry could use a refresh, you’ll want to head to Kosterina. The brand behind some of our favorite olive oils and snacking olives just released a vinegar flavor you’ll want to drizzle over all of your meals this season (and maybe even into your poolside beverages). Snag the cucumber lemon balsamic vinegar for $15 a bottle, and be the first to try it. It’s bound to become the star of your outdoor gatherings, not to mention a year-round staple in your pantry.

My go-to is hummus, with roasted pine nut and lemon dill being some of my favorite flavors. I’m also perfectly content with the classic. (Hummus and carrots are my deserted island foods, if that puts anything into perspective.)

There’s just something about walking into your hotel room after a long flight, flinging your suitcase (and yourself) on the bed, and officially entering vacation mode. It just feels all sorts of right, doesn’t it? Well, apparently, there’s one thing about that equation that’s all sorts of wrong, according to experts. Namely, the whole flinging-your-suitcase-on-the-bed part.

I know that the holiday doesn’t officially arrive until next week, but with how many sales have kicked off, it might as well have come early. Right now, Amazon has tons of deals you can’t miss (so does Walmart), and Made In’s editor-loved cookware is up to 25% off. If you’ve been wanting to spruce up your kitchen, or you’ve been holding off on grabbing that new fry pan or small appliance, this is your best chance to save big until fall sales come around.

If you’re like me, the track on your sliding glass doors presents a frustrating challenge come cleaning day. These tracks are often filled with plenty of little hiding places where dirt (and odors) can build up over time, creating a hot spot for pet hair and debris.

Don’t you wish we lived in a world where a piping-hot plate of really good chicken Parmesan (or chicken Parmigiana) magically appeared in front of you whenever you wanted? The just-saucy-enough crispy cutlet blanketed with a layer of melty mozzarella — when done right, few things are better than this classic dish. But being that my top hat and wand are permanently in the shop, I headed to the next best place to turn this wishful thinking into a reality: the grocery store.

Do you remember your forth-grade teacher probably encouraging your classmates to begin using daily deordorant. If you have kids, do you remember the smell of your son's bedroom? Then you used to go to your grandparents' house and notice even they have a smell. No, it's not your grandma's fine powder or grandpa's aftershave. It's that woody, musty smell. You might not realize it, but does your home have this odor? Yikes!

As much as my teammates and I (rightfully) sing the praises of high-end brands like All-Clad and Le Creuset, you don’t necessarily have to spend a fortune for quality cookware. There are plenty of under-$100 options that you’ll use every single day and not have to replace anytime soon. For one, on our list of best saucepans, the top spot went to Tramontina’s $75 option. The Kitchn contributor Sharon was blown away by a $25 nonstick fry pan. You can check out our under-$100, editor-approved essentials list for even more examples.

My husband and I have been busy lately, so when the weekend comes, we don’t want to do much of anything except relax. Some people might find cleaning relaxing, but I’m not one of them. So except for cleaning the bathrooms — a non-negotiable for me even when I’m at my laziest — I’ve let the past couple of weeks go by without cleaning the rest of our home.

Memorial Day might mark the unofficial beginning of summer, but it’s never too late to get started on the spring cleaning you never got around to. Believe me — I get it if you’ve been putting it off. Some might disagree, but cleaning isn’t all that fun — especially if you’re dealing with messes and debris left by pets, kids, or a high amount of traffic in your home. However, the right tools can turn time-consuming chores into quick and painless ones.

It's been years since I went to a Red Lobster, but I never could get enough of those delicious cheddar biscuits. They were something I looked forward to every time I went to the restaurant. Now that multiple locations are closing, I want to show you how easy these are to make at home! Here's what you'll need:

To be honest, I’d love to cook more, but find it challenging to make time for it. As a result, I often turn to quick-to-prepare meals and even quicker snacks (if I’m not ordering takeout). Air fryers have become one of my trusted kitchen companions based on speediness alone. I also like that I can bypass the greasy foods and have something that tastes just as satisfying in much less time. I was slow to take the leap into buying an air fryer, and even though I use them now, I’m still pretty slow when it comes to selecting one. However, while scrolling through TikTok a while ago, there was an air fryer that caught my eye immediately. The Fritaire Air Fryer was colorful, had an interesting design, seemed to cook well, and best of all, it cleaned up after itself. Of course, when an opportunity came up to try it firsthand, I couldn’t pass it up.

Drew Barrymore is taking the “celebrities — they’re just like us!” idea to an entirely new level. In a recent TikTok video in which Barrymore shows herself spring cleaning her kitchen, fans get to see just how normal her kitchen is. Unlike other celebrity kitchens with sweeping floor plans, floor-to-ceiling marble, and neutral color palettes, Barrymore’s kitchen is small, cozy, and doesn’t even boast the latest and greatest appliances. It actually looks like everyone else’s.
