The Best Memorial Day Sales — Chloe Jeong / The Spruce

As Memorial Day has come and gone, we’ve stopped updating this post with sales and can’t promise the ones below are still available. Check back later this year for updated deals.

While summer doesn’t officially kick off until the solstice on June 20, Memorial Day might as well be the season’s soft opening. The federal holiday is more than just a three-day weekend, but rather a celebration of veterans and those who have died fighting for our country. And for savvy shoppers, Memorial Day’s hot weather often heralds the hottest deals of the year. Check out some of our favorites that you can still shop for below.

Memorial Day commemorates fallen soldiers who have fought and died for our country. According to ThoughtCo., it was originally dubbed Decoration Day and has been a federal holiday since 1971.

Memorial Day always falls on the final Monday of May—for 2021, that means Memorial Day will fall on May 31, 2021.

Occasionally, Memorial Day sales will come on our radar way before Memorial Day—we’re talking late April. Sometimes, they’ll only run for Memorial Day Weekend. Oftentimes, though, it’s somewhere in the middle, with many Memorial Day sales running for a week leading up to Memorial Day Weekend and ending on Memorial Day itself.

Memorial Day is a gateway to summer, so many warm-weather essentials like hot tubs, patio umbrellas, Adirondack chairs, patio dining sets, and grills are fresh on the market. “As the temperatures rise, we know that customers move their focus outdoors and look to expand beyond the indoor space with projects that help them enjoy their homes more,” says an expert spokesperson from Lowe’s.

It can be tough to find significant sales on these hot ticket items. That said, they do exist. Last year, Wayfair offered up to 65 percent off patio furniture, and be sure to check back, as they'll continue to drop sales in the coming weeks.

Since winter is far in the rearview come Memorial Day, it’s a great time to save on remaining winter inventory, like snow blowers, although pickings will be slim, to say the least.

Warmer nights mean it’s a great time to shop for summer bedding, too. Matt Breuer, the CMO of Buffy, says, “Memorial Day is always big at Buffy—it's right at that moment when people start noticing that it's getting a bit hotter at night and start to look for solutions."
