The Memorial Day sales are coming soon, offering the last big holiday shopping opportunity before the summer rolls in. Here’s what you can expect to see.
Memorial Day falls on May 30 this year, and marks the last national holiday of spring before summer begins in June. Practically everyone will be looking forward to a three-day weekend as people across the country hit the great outdoors to enjoy the warm weather, have picnics and cookouts, and observe a national day of remembrance. For techies and deal hounds like us, holidays like Memorial Day also mean big sales on all sorts of stuff we love. If part of your plans involve doing a little shopping, then join us: We’ve got everything you need to know about the 2022 Memorial Day sales right here. Memorial Day is a national holiday in the U.S. that commemorates military personnel who have died while serving in the U.S. armed forces. It’s a federal holiday that lands on the last Monday in May, bringing with it a three-day weekend. Typically during holidays like Memorial Day, retailers run big sales. Consumers are more than happy to take advantage of the long weekend to shop their hearts out, and stores are understandably eager to entice people to do just that. There are only a few of these three-day-weekend holidays throughout the year, though, and Memorial Day is the last one of the spring season. There aren’t usually any similar big sales until July, with July 4 and Prime Day sales happening that month. That means that Memorial Day sales are a great opportunity to do some late spring shopping for anything you might need; if you miss it, then you’ll have to wait another month or two for another chance to score big savings. Memorial Day 2022 is on Monday, May 30, meaning that Saturday, May 28 is the first day of the three-day holiday weekend. The 2022 Memorial Day deals will certainly be live by Saturday, but many retailers will start running their sales earlier on Friday as well. We won’t be surprised to see a few early Memorial Day sales and discounts popping up even earlier that week, so don’t sit on your hands until Saturday.
