The Best Memorial Day Sales, According to the Eater Staff

May 20, 2025 1

We respect, we memorialize, and we shop the major deals that make this one of the best sale weekends of the year, from Amazon to Williams Sonoma

There was once a time when Memorial Day revolved solely around emotional commemoration, hot dogs, and dense bean salads — and that’s cool, but I also can’t remember that time, and, frankly, I don’t mind the addition of Memorial Day sales related to everything grilling, summer, and (at this stage in capitalism) deals on just about everything else you can buy online. Life is expensive, summer is nigh, and there are bratwursts in my freezer that beckon for a deal on a Traeger wood pellet grill.

The Memorial Day deals have already started rolling out, and the Eater shopping team has already started the triage of which sales are actually worth their Jacobsen Co. salt. The discounts are popping up already, from smaller brands that have dedicated their livelihood to the craft of making great grills, cookware, or mid-century modern patio furniture as well as retail behemoths like Amazon and Wayfair.

Polish your hot dog tower, and let’s shop.
