Some of our favorite things start off as a recommendation from a friend. Whether they swear by a skin care gem, a cleaning must-have or just something to make dinner prep a little less exhausting, we rely on those in the know to give us the scoop on what really works. But when it comes to Memorial Day sales, instead of friends, we trust the opinions of countless Amazon reviewers. They know the difference between gimmicky and something great, and when hoards of them swear by something, it's the real deal. We picked out some the best deals from Amazon's Memorial Day sale with the most five-star reviews to make your first long weekend of summer a little bit sweeter. Scroll for our favorite Amazon marked-down cult-favorite finds.
