Memorial Day has long been the unofficial kickoff to summer, but recently it’s also been a good time to grab some tech on sale. In the past few years, Memorial Day sales have brought solid discounts on some of our favorite tech, from affordable portable chargers to expensive tablets and robot vacuums. That’s on top of all the seasonal items that usually go on sale this time of year like grilling gear, pizza ovens and other outdoor tech.
Now’s a great time to look for any of those items you may have on your wish list. And like most seasonal holidays as of late, you don’t have to rush to make your purchase. Memorial Day deals are live now, and there’s a good chance they’ll be available until the holiday weekend has passed. We’ve collected the best Memorial Day sales on tech below, and we’ll continue to update this post as more offers become available.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Amazon Prime Day, though. The biggest iteration of the online retailer’s annual shopping event typically happens in July, and Amazon confirmed it will be back again this year (although official dates remain unknown). Tech is usually heavily discounted on Prime Day for Prime members, so if you’re unsure about a purchase, you could take the chance and wait a little while longer to see if that pair of earbuds you’ve been eyeing drops even further in price during Prime Day. If not, Memorial Day offers the next best opportunity this time of year to save on gadgets and gear.
