When can I shop Memorial Day sales?

Many retailers begin offering early Memorial Day deals as soon as the beginning of May. This year, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 25, so we're expecting to see sales start to seriously ramp up around mid-May and continue through the holiday weekend.

What type of Memorial Day deals can you expect?

Because Memorial Day serves as the retail industry’s official gateway to summer, the focus heavily shifts toward outdoor living. This is the year's best window to upgrade your backyard setup, with deep discounts on premium patio sets, high-performance grills, robotic lawnmowers and pool vacuums and maintenance essentials. Beyond the outdoors, we also expect the season's steepest discounts on heavy hitters like mattresses and major appliances. Plus, major retailers like Amazon, Lowe’s and The Home Depot typically lead the charge, offering epic deals throughout the entire month of May.
