Our 2025 Memorial Day Sales: The Designer-Approved List

Happy Memorial Day weekend, friends! I come to you feeling a bit torn. The good news: the unofficial start of summer has ushered in a wave of unprecedented Memorial Day sales and savings. The bad news: I have on good authority (read: I get a lot of internal brand emails) that this is somewhat of a “last hurrah” – a blowout sale, so to speak, so old inventory can be emptied out before prices are increased across the board in June. If you’re considering making a larger purchase – appliances, furniture, fixtures or finishes – this might be your last chance to save big. But if you’re on the hunt for something smaller, don’t be fooled by those paltry 15% off sales being heralded on Instagram – your money is valuable and it can stretch much farther than that this weekend! (This is NOT an invitation to consume mindlessly, for what it’s worth.)

To that end: I have sifted through over 500 Memorial Day promotions. Below, you’ll only find the best of the best – I’ve only included the price drops that beat last month’s low. Scan the list – retailers are alphabetical (and clickable!), fresh codes will land in bold (I’ll asterisk them, so you can tell they’ve been updated), and anything that sells out gets struck the minute it’s gone (I do always appreciate your help here, if you’d like to flag any of these for me). If you see a sale here, it’s because it’s the best deal we’ve tracked all year – no fluff, just savings. Ready?
