The summer equinox may be a few weeks away, but for many people, Memorial Day weekend kicks off the season. This federal holiday is a time to honor and mourn those who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, and it is a time for parades of remembrance, visiting gravesites and war memorials, as well as picnics, BBQs, and other gatherings of family and friends.
In addition to being the “unofficial start” of summertime, retailers and shoppers have seized the long weekend opportunity to offer deep discounts and sales.

When is Memorial Day?
Memorial Day is always on the last Monday in May. This year, it falls on Monday, May 27, 2024.
When do Memorial Day sales start?
Most Memorial Day sales start mid-May, but keep your eyes open for announcements a few days before the long weekend begins. The holiday weekend (and some of the biggest sales) kicks off on Friday, May 24; retailers will roll out savings all weekend.
What are the best Memorial Day sales to expect in 2024?
Like 2023, this year’s Memorial Day sales typically encompass savings on mattresses and furniture, including outdoor patio sets, at Home Depot, Lowes, and other big box shops. Clothing and accessories for summer, plus sale-on-sale items, usually happen over Memorial Day weekend, from home furnishing to fashion. You can usually find great deals on lawn care products, including mowers, pop-up pools, and other grills. Sale hunters and home renovation lovers also know they can score big on appliances, too, during the month of May leading up to the weekend.
How to find the best Memorial Day sales?
Check your favorite store's websites and sign up for Google alerts to hear first-hand news when retailers announce their sales online. Of course, television and print ads may be old-school, but they are still around. Shopping influences, social media sites, and your favorite bloggers will likely share information as well. Plus, it is always worth visiting your favorite retailer‘s website about a week or two before Memorial weekend to check out where you might pick up a good deal.
