Memorial Day isn’t just for pulling out the barbecue and getting your first dose of sun for the season. While it’s first and foremost a day to remember our fallen military heroes, it’s also become a great time to stock your cart with major deals.
Memorial Day weekend sales is a great time to score deals on patio furniture, mattresses, and grills, but it’s historically soft when it comes to tech — you’re better off waiting a few months until Prime Day sales to get the steepest savings.
Our shopping editors know which deals are ripe for the picking now. We hand-picked the only few worth shopping on top-tested items according to the Good Housekeeping Institute, so you can be sure you're getting the best deal on the best item at the right time.
