When is Memorial Day Weekend 2021?
Memorial Day was officially established in 1967 as a way to pay tribute to U.S. Armed Forces service members — unofficially, its roots go back to the Civil War. It also marks the unofficial beginning of summer, having become an American tradition rife with weekend travel and grilling-centric get togethers. This year, Memorial Day was on Monday, May 31, 2021.

Memorial Day deals
Apple
The Apple AirPods Pro are the best high-end earbuds for iPhone users, and they're 20 percent off during several retailers' Memorial Day sales. These popular wireless earbuds feature active noise cancellation so any outside noise doesn't detract from your listening experience, and they're both sweat- and water-resistant, according to the brand.

Other Memorial Day sales
What to shop for during Memorial Day
Porwal said “traditional Memorial Day sales focus on big ticket items for the home. Nearly every home improvement store and big box retailer will offer their best discounts of the year on mattresses, major appliances and home furnishings.” He noted that air conditioners and cookware will also be competitively priced.
Sara Skirboll, shopping and trends expert at RetailMeNot, recommended looking for discounts on appliances that fit on your countertop — blenders, microwaves, toaster ovens and air fryers — at Lowe’s, Macy’s and Home Depot. She said sales on appliances are expected to be between 20 to 40 percent off. As for mattresses, Skirboll noted that three-day weekends in the summer usually offer the best prices, and historically, Memorial Day weekend sees deals upwards of 70 percent off at retailers like Wayfair.
If you’re looking for outdoor furniture and entertainment, Skirboll said to browse the selections at retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond, Pier 1 and Home Depot. Grills and patio furniture are sure to be on sale, in addition to grilling accessories and outdoor games like cornhole. Discounts are usually up to 40 percent off on these items.
Additionally, Porwal said apparel brands and stores that sell clothing will offer “generous discounts” on this seasons’ styles, including warm weather shorts, shirts, dresses and accessories. Activewear for summer sports and fitness will also be on sale, and if you’re adding multiple different articles of clothing to your cart, Porwal said to look for store-wide discounts.
What to avoid shopping for during Memorial Day
Skirboll noted that you might find better deals on clothing and swimwear later in the summer, so you’re better off skipping those Memorial Day weekend deals. Some other items to avoid, according to the experts we spoke to, include tech and computing devices. Porwal and Skirboll agree that retailers often offer better sales on these products later in the summer. “Brand choices and more competitive pricing on both computers and electronics flourish throughout the summer and during Back-to-School sales,” Porwal said. But if you need a new computer or tablet urgently, Memorial Day sales will offer some deals. Overall, he suggested “doing your homework to find a good value.”
Memorial Day shopping tips, according to experts
When shopping Memorial Day sales, Skirboll said it’s important to do your research and compare prices across retailers, as well as look for promo code and cashback offers. She also recommended installing a browser extension before shopping, like RetailMeNot’s Deal Finder and Smarty’s Chrome Extension or Honey and CamelCamelCamel (if you’re shopping on Amazon). Skirboll said some extensions automatically apply coupon codes and cashback offers when you check out, helping you save time and money. Additionally, if you’re making a bigger purchase, Porwal said to consider using a credit card, which may offer purchase protections like price matching, guaranteed returns, cash back rewards and extended warranties, adding savings and security to purchases.
