100 best Memorial Day sales of 2023 — save at Walmart, Amazon, and more

PS5, AirPods, 4K TV, and more electronics side by side

Memorial Day sales are more aggressive than ever this year. Retailers from Amazon to Walmart are offering their best deals of the year as they try to entice consumers to shop. After all, Memorial Day is the first major holiday of the year offering discounts we won't see again till the end of the summer. So if you've been waiting to make any major purchases, now is the time to act. 

Typically, the biggest Memorial Day sales offer discounts on 4K TVs, Apple devices, kitchen appliances, and barbecue grills. Smart TVs, for instance, are on sale from $64 at Best Buy. Likewise, every Apple Watch and MacBook is on sale at or near its lowest price ever.  

Meanwhile, if you're shopping for a new mattress or foundation, Memorial Day mattress sales offer some of the lowest prices of the year, with discounts on top-rated mattresses, weighted blankets, and pillows. 

That said, there are some deals I've yet to see. OLED TVs, for instance, are priced a little higher than they were earlier in the year. Some entry-level models are out of stock, whereas other models like the Editor's Choice LG C2 OLED are priced just a tad higher than they were just a few weeks ago. 

I've been covering Memorial Day sales for over a decade. Throughout the years, I've learned to separate the good deals from the everyday sale prices. Each Memorial Day sale listed in this guide will be price checked, analyzed against that item's price history, and highlighted only if it's a truly good deal. Retailers have a habit of expiring deals and bringing them back on the holiday itself, so make sure to check back for the best deals of the day.

When is Memorial Day 2023? 

Memorial Day sales

(Image credit: Shutterstock)

Memorial Day 2023 will fall on Monday, May 29. 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. However, 4K TVs, large appliances, outdoor furniture, and mattresses tend to see the biggest discounts on Memorial Day. For instance, Amazon will likely offer a wide range of deals on Memorial Day, including deals on its Alexa-powered hardware. However, Echo devices will be cheaper on Prime Day than they will on Memorial Day. So while you'll find deals on practically everything, the very best Memorial Day sales will be on appliances, TVs, bedding, and furniture. 

Memorial Day and TV deals

Year after year, Memorial Day has proven to be 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. 

For instance, OLED TVs currently sell for about $599 (for a 48-inch model). 55-inch models sell for about $899. Memorial Day deals could drive these prices $50 to $100 lower. 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.
