Memorial Day sales 2025 — I’ve picked the best early deals across Walmart, Best Buy and more
Memorial Day sales are getting started! If you’ve been holding off on making a big purchase on a new TV, laptop or mattress, now is a great time to hit ‘buy,’ as a handful of retailers are rolling out early Memorial Day sales. Additionally, with tariffs potentially increasing the price of everyday items, I recommend buying now to avoid potential price increases later this summer.
For example, right now Amazon is slashing up to 50% off Beats headphones. This sale includes Beats’ latest earbuds, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 on sale for $199. You can also shop a ton of awesome apparel sales, with Adidas deals from $8 and Carhartt deals from $11.
Over at Best Buy, you can get our favorite value OLED TV, the LG 48-inch B4 4K OLED TV on sale for $599 ($100 off). It’s the least-expensive OLED TV you can get right now and one of our top picks.
Plus, there are a ton of awesome Memorial Day mattress deals you don’t want to miss out on. One of my favorites is the Nectar Original Mattress on sale from $349, which is one of the best memory foam mattresses we’ve tested.
Check out all my favorite Memorial Day sales below. Make sure to bookmark this page and check back periodically as I’ll continue to bring you the best deals as they come in. Plus, see our Amazon promo codes coverage for more savings.

When is Memorial Day 2025?
Memorial Day 2025 will fall on Monday, May 26. Traditionally held on the last Monday of the month, Memorial Day is a federal holiday mourning military personnel who’ve died while serving in the armed forces. The holiday also marks the unofficial start of summer.
What should I buy on Memorial Day?
Retailers tend to offer sitewide discounts on Memorial Day. So at first glance it may look like everything’s on sale. However, 4K TVs, large appliances, outdoor furniture, sports apparel, and mattresses tend to see the biggest discounts on Memorial Day. Looks for discounts from stores and brands like Nike, Adidas, REI, Best Buy, and Walmart.
Memorial Day and TV deals
Memorial Day is an excellent time to buy a new TV. That’s because Memorial Day TV sales offer aggressive discounts on all types of TVs. Whether you want a basic 4K TV or buying your first OLED TV, Memorial Day sales will offer epic price drops on all TVs. Make sure to follow our TV deals coverage for all of the best sales.
Memorial Day deals vs Prime Day
Practically every major retailer will offer Memorial Day deals this year. That wide retailer participation is what makes it such a great time to shop. However, Prime Day is right around the corner, so you may be wondering if it’s better to wait. Our answer is — it depends what you want to buy. If you want to buy a new fridge or mattress, Memorial Day is the best time to act. If you’re looking for a new Echo Dot or Fire TV, Prime Day will offer the better deals. (Amazon hardware sees the biggest price drops during Prime Day). That said, Amazon has yet to announce an official Prime Day date. However, we think it’ll occur in mid-July (as it did last year).
How to find the best Memorial Day sales
As with all holidays, Memorial Day will be filled with both good and bad deals. But with a little diligence, it’s possible to find the best Memorial Day sales on the items you want. Here are our tips and guide to finding the best deals during Memorial Day.
- Always comparison shop: Practically every retailer offers Memorial Day sales. As a result, we recommend that you always comparison shop — no matter what you’re buying. If you’re shopping for a new 4K TV, look at deals from Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart. If you’re in the market for new kitchen appliances, check out Kohl’s, Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. That way you’ll see who has the lowest price on the item(s) you want.
- Use price tracking tools to weed out fake deals: Shoppers have an arsenal of tools to help them weed out bad Memorial Day sales. One of our favorites is CamelCamelCamel. Although it only works on Amazon, it can give you the price history on just about any item sold on Amazon. We find it especially helpful for tech items like iPads, 4K TVs, and more.
- Beware fake reviews: It’s something every shopper does: We find something we want to buy and we google reviews for that item. However, shoppers should be very cautious with the reviews they read because there are a lot of fake or paid for user reviews out there. So if you’re spotted a few Memorial Day sales you’re intent on buying, make sure you do your homework and rely on reviews from multiple users and not just users who leave glowing reviews.
