When do Memorial Day appliance sales start?

By

Memorial Day sales are traditionally one of, if not the best time in the year to buy appliances. After the new year starts and the noise and hullabaloo from the previous year’s holiday sales settle, many people turn their attention to improving their homes. Sales of mattresses, large and small appliances, and all manner of home goods pick up during President’s Day sale events and gather steam into the spring. The best appliance deals drop during Memorial Day sales. Here’s when they start.

When are 2021 Memorial Day Sales?

Memorial Day is always on the last Monday of May, so for 2021 Memorial Day is May 31. The sales event last more than one day. In earlier years retailers would hold Memorial Day sales starting the Friday before the holiday, run through the weekend, and end at the end of the actual holiday. So this year that would mean you could expect Memorial Day sales to run from Friday, May 28 through Monday, May 31.

In the past few years, however, we’ve begun to see sales events creeping back on the calendar when competitive retailers hope to capture buyers’ interest by beginning Memorial Day sales earlier. Last year, for example, several retailers started the event on the Monday before the holiday, making it an eight-day sale. Frankly, we wouldn’t be surprised to see this year’s Memorial Day sales begin in mid-May due to the always-be-first mentality of holiday sales creep.

Best Verizon Fios new customer deals: Get 2GB/s internet in your home
Fios TV Package

Whether you surf the web for work or you subscribe to one of the best live TV streaming services, the experience can be made better with blazing fast internet. Fiber optic internet service is the future, and with Verizon Fios you can get some of the fastest internet service around. This service would pair well with any of the best TVs and home theater setups, but it’s also something to consider if you're into online gamine or do work that requires large file uploads and downloads. We’re currently seeing some of the lowest prices on Fios home internet service we’ve ever seen, with Verizon putting some super impressive deals out there. We’ve rounded up all of the best Verizon Fios deals available right now, and they include low monthly costs, waived setup charges, and a number of freebies like Target gift cards.
2 Gigabit Verizon Fios connection -- $85 per month + free extras
One of the fastest internet speeds you can get, and the fastest speed that Verizon offers, this is the sort of subscription you should grab if all the members of your family are essentially watching 4k content all the time. It's also great for those who want to host their own media server to share with friends or family while not impacting anybody else in the home. You also get a lot of great freebies included here, such as the choice of either a $300 Target gift card or a $350 value Samsung Chromebook Go, which is admittedly an entry-level device, but it's not bad to use for just streaming content. On top of that, you can choose between 2TB of Verizon cloud storage and 12 months of Disney+ with no ads or a MoCA Ethernet Adapter for gaming and a $50 Xbox eGift Card. You could also get both of these if you add an extra $10/month, although it's probably not worth it at that point.

1 Gigabit Verizon Fios connection -- $65 per month + free extras
If the super-fast speeds aren't necessarily needed, especially if you're in a smaller household without too many folks watching content, then the 1 Gigabit version is the way to go. It is $20 cheaper, so it's a lot of money that you're saving over the course of the year, and you still get quite a few extra benefits, even at this level. You get to choose either a $200 Target gift card or the same sort of Samsung Chromebook Go that's worth $350 that's great for streaming content. You also get a similar choice as the 2 Gigabit connection, which includes either 2TB of Verizon cloud storage and six months of Disney+ without ads, or a MoCA Ethernet Adapter for gaming and a $50 Xbox eGift Card.
