'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards.

Memorial Day FAQs
When is Memorial Day?
Memorial Day always falls on the last Monday of May. This year, it was on Monday, May 26, 2025. However, many retailers started sales a few weeks ahead of the holiday.
Is Memorial Day a federal holiday?
Yes, Memorial Day is one of 11 federal holidays recognized nationwide in the US. It is celebrated on the last Monday of May annually. Typically, schools, businesses, and government offices are closed during Memorial Day. Essential institutions like hospitals, airports, police stations, and more do not close for Memorial Day.
Is Amazon having a Memorial Day sale?
Amazon is having a Memorial Day sale and plenty of items discounted. In fact, the retailer has a Memorial Day sales landing page up, but Amazon typically doesn't heavily advertise for the event like it does for Amazon Prime Day. Other retailers like Best Buy started sales as early as May 15, so Amazon will likely feature similar discounts on products during the same period.
What other retailers are having Memorial Day sales?
Here are some important dates across several retailers to keep in mind if you're planning on shopping deals after Memorial Day is over. Historically, the Friday to Sunday before Memorial Day is usually when you'll see the most retailers offering savings.
- Best Buy Memorial Day Sale: May 19 - May 26.
- Home Depot Memorial Day Sale: May 16 - May 26 (Check out our sister site CNET's Home Depot deal coverage).
- Lowe's Memorial Day Sale: May 15 - May 28.
- Target Memorial Day Sale: Target's Hello Summer Sale usually kicks off the brand's Memorial Day savings about a week before the holiday. On May 15, Target confirmed the return of their Hello Summer Sale, which will overlap with Memorial Day, running from May 18 - May 26.
- Walmart Memorial Day Sale: The retailer is still offering select savings comparable to those of its top competitors as the holiday passes.
How did we choose these Memorial Day deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also reviewed customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we recommend. Our recommendations may also be based on our testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
Are there any products on sale that won a ZDNET Editor's Choice award?
First launched in April 2025, The ZDNET Editors' Choice badge represents our highest endorsement for a technology product or service. It's a distinction awarded exclusively by our seasoned team of expert editors, analysts, and reviewers. Though the majority of the product deals listed on this page are ZDNET-tested, they all aren't Editors' Choice winners. That's because that badge isn't handed out lightly. However, lucky for you there are a few winning products on sale ahead of Memorial Day 2025, like the Asus Zenbook A14, the OnePlus 13, and the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Also: ZDNET Editors' Choice: What it is, and how we're awarding the best products we review
How can I find the best Memorial Day deals?
As a commerce and advice editor, I can recommend a few things to help you maximize Memorial Day sales. I always recommend preparing to shop by researching and planning potential purchases, listing want and need items, and setting a budget before sales. It's also great to use verified price tracking tools like CamelCamelCamel or Google Shopping, which make it easy to locate the best price. It's always good to remember the perks offered if you're a member of a program like Target Circle 360, Amazon Prime or Walmart+. Often, these memberships offer services like free pickup or delivery, free shipping, exclusive early access, and more, and those extras are good to remember when every retailer starts matching prices on products to compete for the sale.
Should I wait for Prime Day deals instead?
It depends. If you're shopping for seasonal-specific items like patio furniture, outdoor gear, and more, I would not wait to shop for these deals. Prime Day likely won't roll around until mid-July, and two months is a long time to hold out for an item if you're purchasing a product with the intent of enjoying it this season.
But if you're not in the market for select spring and summer items, it may be worth waiting to shop Prime Day offers, especially on flagship Amazon products. Historically, the best prices on devices like the Echo Dot, Fire Stick, and more are offered during Amazon's exclusive Prime Day events.
What are the tariffs in the US?
The shifting US tariffs on imports from countries like China, Vietnam, and India aim to boost domestic manufacturing but are likely to drive up prices on consumer electronics. Products like smartphones, laptops, and TVs may become more expensive as companies rethink global supply chains and weigh the cost of shifting production.

The tariffs could also lead to delays in product launches or shifts in where and how phones are made, forcing companies to diversify production to countries with more favorable trade conditions.
