We're still a way off from the big day itself but it's well worth getting prepped for the Walmart Memorial Day sales if you're going to be shopping for bargains in May. The retailer has traditionally offered a huge range of savings towards the end of the month that includes thousands of rollback deals on TVs, vacuums, kitchen appliances, mattresses, grills, toys, and much more.
The Memorial Day sales also mean discounts on summer items, and Walmart is well stocked to have you covered for grills, lawnmowers, pools, and patio furniture. Last year's event included savings all the way up to 40% off in some cases, so the precedent has been set for exceptional summer bargains.
This is the page that we'll be using to round up all of the best Walmart Memorial Day sales as soon as they land next month. As of writing, there's nothing to include but that could change rapidly from here on in so we recommend bookmarking this page well ahead of May.
When does Walmart's Memorial Day sale start?
Nothing has been confirmed as of writing but we're expecting the Walmart Memorial Day sale to officially kick-off on the Friday before Memorial Day itself. Since Memorial Day lands on Monday, 29th May this year, we think the most likely date to expect deals online at the retailer is Friday, 26th May.
This is, of course, our best guess based on last year's event and it could be that the retailer offers up deals well ahead of this date. If Walmart releases any information confirming the dates, we'll update this page with all the latest details.
What products will be on sale at Walmart his Memorial Day?
Walmart likes to focus on the 'summer begins now' angle for Memorial Day by having deals on patio furniture, summer clothing, and barbeques as the banner promotions. Overall, however, you can find deals for most categories at Walmart over Memorial Day as the sale event encompasses much more than the stereotypical summer items.
For example, if you're looking for cheap tech you can bet you'll find plenty of discounts on big-screen TVs, laptops, and appliances at Walmart over Memorial Day with prices that are consistent with most of the big sales events at the retailer - save Black Friday in November.
We generally find the Memorial Day deals each year to be of the same kind of quality as those found on other big 'weekend' sales like President's Day and Labor Day. Record-breaking discounts on tech can be rare but there are consistently good discounts (anywhere from 30% to 50% off) on large appliances and furniture items.
If you're interested, we've preserved a number of last year's Walmart Memorial Day sales just down below that should give you a good idea of what to expect this May.
