Welcome to our live coverage of the Memorial Day sales

Good morning, and welcome to our coverage of the Memorial Day sales. It’s just after midnight on Monday, so let’s take a look around at what’s happening. Here are some of the latest headlines.

Amazon hasn’t launched an official Memorial Day sale, but there are still hundreds of deals today, including up to 40% off Fire TV sticks, kitchen and dining, and pet foodBest Buy has the most impressive TV deals, with smart TVs from $99Walmart’s best offers include 40% off pools, tech and fashionHome Depot leads its Memorial Day sale with half-price tools, lawn and garden itemsLowes has cut up to $750 off major appliances in its official saleBest Buy, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Macy’s and IKEA stores are open todayCostco warehouses are closed for Memorial DayMost grocery stores in the US are open, but may have different hours

Almost 40% off Fire TV Stick

Amazon’s opening its deal section with a 38% discount on the Fire TV Stick: it’s now $24.99, down from $39.99. That’s $5 off the lowest price we’ve seen for the Alexa-voice remote, and likely as low as it’s going to get this side of Prime Day.

Pools, patio furniture, grills and lawnmowers from $24.99 at Walmart

Walmart’s Memorial Day sale is the place to go for all things outdoors. There are hundreds of deals on everything you need to jumpstart your summer, from patio furniture to grills, outdoor tools, lawnmowers, fire pits, garden accessories, and more with prices starting at just $24.99.

Big appliance savings at Best Buy

Tech superstore Best Buy doesn’t have quite the range of appliance stock that Lowes has, but its sale is strong as we head into the morning, with up to $800 off refrigerators, washers, dryers and dishwashers from big-name brands including Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and Maytag. There’s also an extra 10% off when you purchase four or more Samsung appliances, plus a free $200 or $300 e-gift card with some Samsung laundry packages. 

If you’re planning some home improvement over the holiday, you might find best Buy’s home expert service useful. It offers free design and product guidance for every room in your house – handy.

The best-value mattress sale is at Nectar

Mattresses always get some of the biggest discounts in the Memorial Day sales, and despite inflation, this year is no different. The absolute best deal if you’re looking for sheer value for money today is on the Nectar Memory Foam mattress, over on the Nectar site.

We were impressed with this lower-mid-range memory foam mattress when we tested it – we gave it 4/5 stars in our Nectar Mattress review, and it sits at number two in our best mattress guide. It’s particularly comfortable for side and back sleeping, with good pressure relief and temperature regulation. (If you’re a hot sleeper though we’d recommend a hybrid like the Saatva Classic instead). 

The Nectar mattress was already competitively priced, but it now has $100 off, which drops the price of a queen from $899 to $799 – plus you get $499-worth of free sleep accessories, including two pillows, sheets and a mattress protector (which we always advise to prolong the life of your investment). Only the Cocoon Chill comes close for value for money, but Nectar still takes the crown. 

The other thing we like about Nectar is you get a whole year to decide whether it’s right for you, and there’s a forever warranty as well. Bargain.

Stop the press: 70-inch TVs for under $500

This 70-inch 4K TV from TCL is now on sale at Best Buy for just $499.99 – that’s a $330 discount, and utterly incredible value for money. It supports 4K resolution, as well as HDR for better colors and lighting. You also get the Google Assistant and Chromecast built-in for seamless access to streaming apps, plus a handy voice remote so you can tell it to play shows, launch apps or even dim the lights in your home. Very fancy.

This huge TV was originally reduced to $599.99, but has since received a further $100 reduction, which makes an already excellent value TV even better. We haven’t seen another TV deal that’s quite such incredible value for money – and we doubt it’ll be beaten across the entire holiday weekend.

Don’t miss this huge saving on a Dell XPS 13 laptop

Although we tend to associate the Memorial Day sales with appliances and furniture, there are lots of stellar tech deals out there. Like this Dell XPS 13 that’s now down to $930.99. 

That’s a huge $369 saving off the usual price and a fantastic discount on a powerful all-purpose machine. It’s packed full of high-end components, including an Intel i7 processor, a massive 16GB of performance-boosting RAM and a fast 512GB SSD. Don’t forget Dell’s sleek and slick design, with a 13.3-inch InfinityEdge display and lengthy battery life. It’s one of the better laptop deals out there in the Memorial Day sales.

Is Costco open on Memorial Day 2022?

We’ll get straight to it: the unfortunate news is that Costco warehouses will be closed over Memorial Day. If you need any last-minutes items during the holiday, then, you’ll have to shop elsewhere.

Still, the retailer is running its own Memorial Day sale this year. It’s just taking place online. Of course, same-day-delivery won’t be available today. Nevertheless, you can check out some of the savings right now, including up to $500 off refrigerators from Samsung, LG, and more as well as 30% discounts on select indoor furniture.

If you do need to desperately dash to a store to pick up some last-minute essentials today, you aren’t completely out of options. Major retailers such as Walmart and Best Buy will have some stores open today, but these will vary by retailer and location. Holiday hours will be in effect, too, so best to check your local store before you make the trip.

New to Walmart Plus? Get a free $50 voucher today

The Walmart Memorial Day sale is in full swing right now. However, if you were looking to buy something today, wouldn’t you prefer to save up to $50 off the price? Well, that’s exactly what you can do if you sign up to a new Walmart Plus membership today.

In order to get this neat incentive from the store, you have to pay $98 and sign up for an annual Walmart Plus membership. Then, you’ll get a $50 to use on your next order of $75 or over. Prefer not to commit to a full year? There’s an option for that, too. You can join as a monthly member instead for $12.95 and get a $25 voucher that can be used on your next order of $50 or more. With your voucher ready to use, you can browse through the Walmart Memorial Day sales and take your pick of all today’s offers.

Might we suggest you hold onto the coupon for just a few days, though, and there will be a vast number of few members-exclusive deals coming from June 2 in the Walmart Plus Weekend sale. Think of it as Prime Day but for a different retailer. In the sale, for example, you’ll be able to get a Hisense 43-inch 4K TV for just $148 after using the voucher code. Or, with just a month’s membership, this Gourmia 8QT Air Fryer falls to only $34 after the sign-up discount. Oh, and there will be a PS5 restock, too!

Say goodbye to Domino’s, Papa John’s and Pizza Hut

Pizza is absolutely up there in the top three foods. Perhaps not in at number one for me, but it’s mightily close. The problem with pizza, though, is that it’s so hard to make a decent one yourself at home. Sure, we’ve got our go-to at-home pizza dough recipes that work fine, and then there’s the fun of decorating your own ‘za, but once it goes in the oven the results can vary.

Wouldn’t it be better if we could just cook wood-fired pizzas at home, then? That’s what this Ooni Karu 12 Inch Portable Pizza Oven can do. Now, it’s definitely an investment, but at $80 off in the Memorial Day sale, we think it’s fine price to pay to always have delicious and authentic stone-baked pizza at home.
