We are definitely looking forward to the long weekend next week and it's not just because we want to unofficially kick off summer with a backyard cookout and some R&R, though that is quite appealing. It's also because there are big ways to save on household items, clothing for the whole family, beauty bag refreshes and so much more. No one does a nice holiday weekend sale quite like Amazon, so it should come as no surprise that they are already dropping prices on some of their bestselling items. From our favorite Bissell Little Green Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner for under $100 to 2nd Generation AirPods for just $80. There are sales in every category, so no matter what you're looking for, the Memorial Day sales worth shopping for are plentiful.
Have a look below to see our picks for the best early Memorial Day deals and our tips for the best ways to save during the long weekend.
We've got all the tips and tricks you need to help you shop a major shopping holiday like this, but here are some highlights:
Create a Wish List — Just like we suggest for every big savings event, the most efficient way to navigate multi-retailer sales is to consider creating a wish list ahead of time. This makes it easier to track prices and not miss when an item's price drops.
Shop early deals — Don't wait for deals because you think they'll get better—they might not! Plus, many of deals are time or quantity-limited, so when the item is out of stock, the deal ends.
Sign up for invite-only lists — This is a super simple way to ensure you don't miss the timing of sales on retailers you love. Plus, lots of retailers offer an additional discount for sharing your email address.
Price matching at other retailers — This does add a bit of work to your shopping experience, but if you have a prepared list, you'll be able to easily check that the retailer you're going to checkout with is indeed the retailer with the best price at the moment. While this weekend is typically spent at backyard cookouts, parades, and newly-opened community pools, there are also tons of retailers celebrating in their own ways, with major sales on brands and products we love. Summer is getting so close we can practically smell it. Memorial Day Weekend is the long weekend we all look forward to kick off summer unofficially, and what better way to get ready for longer days and warmer nights than with some of the year's biggest sales and deepest discounts?
