The Amazon Memorial Day sale is more than just another shopping holiday contribution. Instead, it’s basically the spring Black Friday and a one-stop shop for savings on everything from grills to mattresses. This Sales Editor always uses the once-yearly sale to replace old appliances and make other big-ticket purchases—how could I not when I see prices slashed up to 80%? There are plenty of deep discounts on everything from bedding to patio furniture—tons of savings that fit every budget.
Amazon sales aren’t exactly rare, but the retailer’s Memorial Day savings are on a whole different level. I’m talking bargain prices on all the best kitchen appliances, beauty finds and TikTok-famous fashion items. You definitely don’t want to miss these savings!
Amazon does have Memorial Day sales, but they work a little differently than traditional stores. Whereas most retailers offer sitewide discounts, Amazon’s behemoth catalog of individual brands means shoppers have to hunt for savings on fashion and home items. I’ve shared the best sales below.
While Memorial Day falls on May 29, 2023, the Amazon Memorial Day sale is already full steam ahead. Instead of saving markdowns for the weekend, the retailer already unleashed hundreds of savings ahead of the holiday. That means unbeatable mattress prices and deals on pet care are already live. I urge you to start securing your favorite finds ASAP—some of the best products are already selling out.
This Shark robot vacuum was our top pick for the best robot vacuum in our guide to the best vacuums for pet hair—and right now it’s 45% off during the Amazon Memorial Day sale. Our Shopping Writer used the vacuum nearly every day for two years, and it still operates just as it did the first time. The vacuum empties itself, has a self-cleaning brush roll and uses phone or voice commands to operate. It’s like having a live-in maid!
We already covered this belt bag that recently went viral on TikTok, and it’s still one of our favorite Amazon finds. Not only is it waterproof, but it’s the perfect size to fit a phone, lip balm and credit cards while at the gym or running errands. The Amazon belt bag isn’t just a travel must-have—it’s also a total steal at a savings of $7!
Suffer from springtime allergies? I empathize—all the allergy cleaners in the world can’t eliminate my sniffles during peak dander season. Thank goodness for air purifiers, especially when a two-pack of purifiers is available on sale for $109 off with a bonus coupon. These powerful purifiers include whisper-quiet motors and carbon pre-filters that silently eliminate odors, dust and pet dander.
Home safety doesn’t have to cost a fortune. In fact, this Editor-reviewed Ring security doorbell boasts near-perfect ratings and a rare $75 discount. The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 pinpoints motion and provides real-time alerts to homeowners when there’s unexpected movement. The bird’s eye camera boasts HD video, so families never have to wonder who’s at the door.
Need a new pair of earbuds to catch up on Kindle audiobooks? These Skullcandy wireless Bluetooth earbuds rival Apple EarPods.

The Amazon Memorial Day sale isn’t just for people—pets can also get in on the action! We recently covered this purring cat toy that went viral on TikTok, praising it for its adorable vibrating purrs that soothe stressed kitties. Get the Petstages Purr Pillow at a hefty 27% discount and calm your anxious kitties during trips away.
Hot sleepers, rejoice! One of our favorite Editor-reviewed cooling mattresses is currently available at a staggering $70, putting it at only $330 for the full size.

In our guide to the best air fryers, the best overall award went to the editor-reviewed Breville smart oven.
