May just started, but when has that ever stopped retailers from starting their Memorial Day sales early? This year is no different, so it’s time to prepare for those summer savings. Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s big Memorial Day sales, plus some early offers for you to start shopping right now.
When is Memorial Day, and when do the sales start?
This year, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 27. But, Memorial Day weekend — the time when most of the big sales will be taking place — starts on Friday, May 24. We expect to see lots of discounts on offer during the three-day weekend, especially from mattress, appliance, and outdoor goods brands.
Are Memorial Day sales starting early?
Some Memorial Day sales are already getting started as we speak, with some brands holding “early access” events leading up to a bigger sale during Memorial Day weekend (more on those below). Others aren’t necessarily labeled as early Memorial Day sales, but you can already find a lot of savings on outdoor items, home appliances, and select electronics at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. We do think the deals will be much better as we get closer to Memorial Day, so it may be best to just wait it out.
Though Memorial Day weekend doesn’t officially begin until May 24, keep an eye out for sales starting earlier that week on May 20.
What to buy during Memorial Day sales
Memorial Day is always a huge time for doorbuster mattress sales, but we also expect to see big discounts on outdoor items and appliances for the summer, as well as other select home appliances and electronics. Look out for items like grills, lawn care equipment, gardening supplies, and outdoor furniture.
We also foresee popular kitchen items going on sale, as well as big-ticket items like TVs, headphones, laptops, and fitness equipment.
What are the best Memorial Day sales?
The worthwhile Memorial Day sales aren’t all that plentiful just yet, but more will be on the way shortly. Here are some of the best Memorial Day sales and deals that we could find so far.
