We'll share all the best deals right here. Based on what was on offer last time, expect offers focused on a few smaller categories. Tech items are reduced, but the emphasis will likely be on appliances, furniture and outdoor goods.

Amazon Memorial Day sale: FAQs
When will the Amazon Memorial Day sale start?
A start date for the Amazon Memorial Day sale hasn't been announced yet. However, based on previous years, it will likely start on or around May 24 to run across the full holiday weekend.
What deals will be in the Amazon Memorial Day sale?
As we mentioned, the Memorial Day sales are a good chance to grab some spring and summer items for less, including outdoor furniture, barbecues and planters. Kitchen appliances and household goods also get massive reductions so it's a great time to pick up an air fryer and blender or score a bargain vacuum from the likes of Dyson, Roomba and Shark.
Of course, tech will still feature in the sales, too. You should be able to find a few cheap TVs and laptops, as well as some terrific discounts on smart home gadgets such as streaming sticks, smart speakers and smart lighting.
Memorial Day vs Amazon Prime Day
As Memorial Day takes place at the end of May, you might be wondering whether it's worth holding off until July in case the deals during this year's Amazon Prime Day are better than those we see in a matter of weeks. The answer to that depends, really, on what you're looking to buy.
The Memorial Day sales at Amazon and other retailers tend to focus on patio furniture, home decor, bedding and household products. That's because it's spring and folks are looking to spruce up the house or upgrade their outdoor space to take advantage of the improving weather. If that's you, definitely keep an eye out over the holiday weekend for some terrific offers in these categories.
When it comes to Amazon Prime Day, though, that sale places a strong emphasis on Amazon's own products. By that, we mean items such as the Kindle, Fire TVs, Fire HD tablets and Echo smart speakers. This is when those tech products get the largest discounts than any other time of year - even beating Black Friday.
Alongside that, many more tech products such as laptops, TVs and headphones will feature on Prime Day. If that's where your interests lie then the Amazon Memorial Day sales might not completely fulfil your needs.
