Memorial Day 2027 sales
Memorial Day 2027 falls on Monday, May 31, the last Monday in May. It opens the outdoor season, which is why the discounts here are shallower than Labor Day on the same goods.

The start of a season, not the end of one
Memorial Day sells the same categories as Labor Day (grills, patio furniture, mattresses) but at the beginning of their season rather than the end. Retailers are stocking up, not clearing out, so the cuts are typically smaller.
The practical consequence: if you can wait a full season, September is usually cheaper for the identical item. If you need it in June, this is the weekend it is discounted at all.
What to check
Compare the weekend price with the same item's price in the preceding six weeks, not with the crossed-out number on the tag. Seasonal goods often rise in April as demand appears, which makes a May "discount" a return to the March price.
That pattern shows on any item watched through a spring, and it is the reason our pages compare against a recorded median rather than a claimed original.
