Quick Overview

We firmly believe there's no better way to celebrate the unofficial kickoff to summer than by taking advantage of all of the Memorial Day sales happening. Don't get us wrong, a backyard cookout with friends and family and spending as much time outside as possible does sound like the perfect way to spend a few days, but we'd be foolish not to take advantage of the latest and greatest deals. Memorial Day is always the last Monday in May, and it has become synonymous with major markdowns on mattresses, outdoor essentials and more. Deals are dropping well ahead of schedule at our favorite retailers, so we've already rounded up the best early deals at Amazon, and the price drops in the Walmart sale section you won't want to miss.

This year, Memorial Day deals run the gamut from grills and outdoor furniture to clothing, mattresses, travel essentials, kitchenwares, and everything in between. You'll even find sales on appliances and home improvement items, as well as electronics such as TVs and smart home devices. It's truly a buyer's market!

Though the deals are dropping early, we don't expect them to last much longer than Memorial Day weekend itself, which is why it's worth browsing all of the deals now while they're live. In fact, we've spotted a number of deals on some of our tried-and-tested favorites, such as our top versatile pick for the best single-serve coffee maker and the dermatologist-recommended sunscreen we've found for just $8. Take a look below for more of our favorites on sale.

Experts agree that most people don't apply enough sunblock — 1.5 ounces for most adults — so a high SPF option can act "like an insurance policy to give you the best level of protection possible," said to Dr. Joshua Zeichner of Zeichner Dermatology when interviewed about the best sunscreens.

"This sunscreen has been clinically tested and shown to give better sunburn protection compared to sunscreens with lower SPFs," Zeichner continued. Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen is lightweight, fast-absorbing and has a non-greasy, matte finish that can be used all over the body.

It's made with naturally soothing ingredients like lavender and rose, a well as ingredients for gentle exfoliation like papaya fruit extract.
