The best Memorial Day sales are live: Shop early deals from Amazon, Target, Best Buy and more

Our lawns are lush, daylight is lingering a little longer and if you're anything like me, you're already counting how many lazy pool days you can rack up before Labor Day. Summer's not officially here yet, but just like those chirping birds, Memorial Day sales are here. Whether you've got an adventure on your mind this weekend or just want to chill with a cold drink and zero responsibilities, this is a solid time to treat yourself — no justification needed.
Been eyeing a bigger screen for the Stanley Cup playoffs (or to show off your curated taste in digital art)? Samsung's 55-inch Frame TV just dropped by $500. Need new kicks? These top-selling Hokas are $30 off. And for those summer hangs where your beat-up canvas tote just won't cut it, there's a Kate Spade pochette going for nearly $200 less than usual.
Here are the best early Memorial Day sales worth checking out right now:
If you've been looking to get some Apple gear or upgrade a TV, now's one of the best times to score big savings before summer. Soon the sun will be setting after 8 p.m., warmer days will be on the way and you'll be glad you grabbed that MacBook Air or pair of AirPods while they were on mega sale. Some highlights:
Apple iPad 11th Gen ($299, originally $349): This is one of the best tablets you can buy, period. While we've seen this model for cheaper, it's still a good deal for the quality and performance you get — especially with features like the A16 Bionic chip, 10-hour battery life and that gorgeous Retina display.
Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-Cancelling Headphones ($228, originally $348): These Sony headphones aren't just any old pair of cans. They boast a solid 30 hours of battery life as well as quick charging (a 10-minute charge will get you five hours of playback), so you won't be hunting for an outlet mid-listen. And with touch-sensor controls, adjusting volume or skipping tracks is as easy as a tap.
Apple iPad Mini ($399, originally $499): Traditional iPads are a bit too cumbersome for your daily routine? The smaller, more approachable iPad mini may be right up your alley. At only 8.3 inches, it's compact enough to hold with just one hand.
Samsung The Frame 55-inch 4K Smart TV ($998, originally $1,498): The original art TV that created the category is not only easy on the eyes, but easy on the wallet. (That empty wall in the living room is calling its name.) It's available in six other sizes, ranging from 43 to 85 inches, and all are on sale.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 ($187, originally $249): Offering premium sound, seamless connectivity and a comfy, all-day fit, these fan-favorite buds are worth it.
TCL 55-inch 4K QLED TV ($700, originally $1,000): Think Samsung is the only company making Art TVs these days? Think again (in fact, you can check out all of the Art TVs we've tested right here). This one from TCL will save you a bit of coin compared to The Frame, thanks to this $300-off steal of a deal at Best Buy.
Apple MacBook Air ($899, originally $999): This beast can handle all of the streaming, spreadsheets, writing and scrolling you can throw at it. Want to edit photos or videos? Go wild. The M4 chip can handle it.
Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Audio Transmitter ($42, originally $55): Ever wish you could connect your earbuds to the in-flight entertainment rather than using those flimsy headphones the airline hands out? Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida calls this a "genius gadget" in his review, saying it "worked flawlessly, pairing easily with my AirPods Pro and remembering that connection from one session to the next." (Psst: You can also hook it up to the treadmill at the gym.)
There are two types of people in this world: those who love to cook and those who have the local takeout pizza place on speed dial. No shame in falling into either camp, but we'd bet those in the latter group might enjoy preparing food more if they owned the right tools. We're talking cookware that doesn't stick, knives that are actually sharp and maybe even an air fryer to keep from having to wait for the oven to preheat. Well, all of those things — and more — happen to be on sale, so go ahead and flex those culinary muscles without overexerting your wallet.
HexClad 6-Piece Hybrid Fry-Pan Set ($400, originally $532): Gordon Ramsay's an official partner of this brand, and you know how particular he is. The pans' hybrid construction combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, "is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well." With this starter set, you'll get the 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch pans, plus lids for each, and a bonus 10-inch hybrid wok — and for nearly 25% off.
Ninja Creami 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker ($200, originally $229): Keep the treats flowing all year long with this top-rated appliance, which makes churning out customizable frozen goodies a breeze. (It's also Yahoo editor-approved — check out our review for more).
Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 8-Quart ($300, originally $475): If there's one thing Le Creuset is known for, it's Dutch ovens. As stunning as it is functional, this roomy pot holds enough food to feed a crowd and can go in the oven at temperatures up to 500°F. Use it to cook those cozy comfort dishes like stew, braised meat, mashed potatoes ... you can even bake bread in it. It's also ideal for deep-frying and roasting a chicken. This price is the lowest we've seen it anywhere online.
Henckels 20-Piece Knife Set ($140, originally $345): This collection has every type of blade a home cook could need, so if the ones in your drawer can barely pierce through a tomato anymore, you'll want to add this to your cart while it's down to an all-time low at nearly 60% off.
Blackstone 17" Griddle w/ Stand, Hood, Bag & Tool Set ($240, originally $300): Want to be the king of the campsite? Top dog of the tailgate? Forget the grill, the griddle is where it's at. Smashburgers, stir-fry, heck, even breakfast can all be easily mastered on a Blackstone.
Longzon 5-Stage Knife Sharpener ($10, originally $34): A dull knife just won't cut it when it comes to efficient (and safe) slicing and dicing. If you'd rather not shell out for a whole new set of blades, you can hone the ones you already have courtesy of this nifty tool. It has five settings for sharpening and polishing just about any knife in your kitchen, aside from ceramic blades.
KitchenClouds Anti-Fatigue Kitchen Mat ($13, originally $22): If you spend lots of time in the kitchen, your feet deserve a cushy surface to stand on during all of that cooking (and dishwashing). This highly rated anti-fatigue mat is made from comfy foam to help take some of the pressure off of your muscles and joints, and its nonslip bottom will stay put without sliding around.
Kelamayi Self-Cleaning Broom and Dustpan Set ($19, originally $26): This dustpan is equipped with teeth that'll dislodge clumps of hair and dirt for you, because post-cleaning cleanup is no one's idea of a good time. What is fun, however, is the fact that this duo is marked down to its best price ever.
Do yourself a favor and spruce up your home before you get too distracted by summer's charms. Bath mats that will keep your feet warm and dry as soon as you step out of the shower, an electric scrubber that practically does the cleaning for you, chairs that will quickly turn your backyard patio into an idyllic oasis ... these sales have it all.
Shark IQ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum ($248, originally $499): Robovacs come in clutch for lazy — er, I mean, efficient — cleaners. But for a completely hands-off experience? You'll want a self-cleaning model, like this popular unit. It can run up to 110 minutes per charge, and its large dust bin can hold about 60 days' worth of debris before needing to be emptied.
Olanly Extra Soft Absorbent Chenille Bath Rugs ($10, originally $15): Who wants to step out of the shower dripping wet and have the first thing your feet touch be a cold and slippery tile floor? With this markdown, you can grab one of these for less than the cost of most towels.
Khelfer Electric Spin Scrubber ($16 with Prime, coupon and code, originally $50): It's 2025; why are you using elbow grease to clean your house when you could just pick up one of these bad boys and wake up tomorrow sans back pain, especially now that it's priced at an all-time, nearly 70%-off low?
Resin Stackable Adirondack Chair ($18, originally $25): The Adirondack chair is one of those furniture items that is perfectly designed. Comfy and aesthetically pleasing, they're great around a table, pool or fire pit. These resin ones from Target have taken the original design and updated it for a more modern look, and I'm here for it.
CGK Unlimited Store Queen Size 4 Piece Sheet Set ($21, originally $42): These days, you can expect to pay a premium for quality bedding, so $15 for a set with as many rave reviews as this one is a huge win in our book. This is also the lowest we've seen this sheet set — ever!
Fab Totes Clothes Storage Bags, 6-Pack ($14, originally $25): Whether you're stowing away shorts and sundresses in the winter or puffer coats and comforters in the summer, these roomy storage bags will keep everything organized from season to season. Each one has an impressive 60-liter capacity, along with see-through front panels so you won't forget what you stashed in them.
Cozsinoor Bed Pillows, Queen, 2-Pack ($19, originally $36): Want to start your bedtime on the right foot, er, head? You'd be wise to snag this popular pair while it's down to a record low. Filled with a lofty down alternative stuffing, these plush, machine-washable pillows are moisture-wicking and promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. Plus, they're designed to be suitable for stomach, back and side sleepers.
Whether winter did a number on your skin or you're tired of spending a fortune on in-office teeth-whitening treatments, you're in luck: There's no shortage of deals on all your beauty must-haves. For starters, this teeth-whitening pen is designed for sensitive chompers, and it's over half off.
Laura Geller Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation ($18, originally $37): This is the lowest price I've ever seen for this Amazon bestseller! The user-friendly bronzing powder contains color-correcting pigments to help even out unbalanced skin while leaving you looking natural, not like you've slathered on a ton of product.
MySmile Teeth Whitening Pen 30+ Treatment ($17, originally $40): Once a day, just twist the pen's base to release the gel into its brush-tip applicator, then "paint" it onto your chompers and leave it for 30-60 minutes. After five days, you should see a difference (i.e., as much as 10 shades whiter).
Crest 3D Whitestrips Sensitive At-Home Teeth-Whitening Kit ($39, originally $50): Reviewers (and this writer) can attest that this kit delivers on its pro-level, smile-brightening claims. It promises to remove up to 15 years' worth of stains from your chompers. Plus, it's designed with sensitive smiles in mind.
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream ($14, originally $20): This top-selling cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
Grace & Stella Energizing Eye Masks ($20 with coupon, originally $29): These patches use plant-based collagen, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate skin underneath your eyes. They have a cooling effect that soothes and brightens tired eyes and help reduce puffiness, which can give you a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Bliss Bright Idea Vitamin C + Tri-Peptide Facial Serum ($24, originally $30): This serum contains a high concentration of Vitamin C along with tripeptides and green tea extract to help restore skin to its youthful, glowy best.
Gold Bond Age Renew Neck & Chest Firming Cream ($11, originally $16): The Gold Bond firming cream is no frills but gets the job done (the job being tighter jowls and a less reptilian neck). The formula is lightweight and on the thin side, but the product absorbs well and is gentle enough not to irritate sensitive skin.
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Exfoliate ($28, originally $35): "I've tried dozens of products to reduce the appearance of my enlarged pores and banish blackheads," explains Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini, "and this is by far the most effective. It's easy to use and non-irritating, and you only need a drop or two each night to see results — this 4 ounce size has lasted almost a year."
Welcome to sandals, shorts and sundresses season! Ring in the rising temps with fleece sweatpants, comfortable leggings and standout sneakers that are just as great for running errands as they are for date night and beyond.
Hoka Clifton 9 ($117, originally $145): Hokas are one of the most popular brands of walking and running shoes for a reason. With the release of the Clifton 10s, we've spotted markdowns on the Clifton 9s across a multitude of retailers — though stock is going fast. Our tip: If you see your size in stock in a color you like, nab it before someone else does.
Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant ($49-$69, originally $98): Take it from us: These are hands down the softest, comfiest leggings you'll ever wear. They're ideal for low-impact workouts or just hanging out at home. You can save up to 50% right now, but colors and sizes are selling out fast!
Anthropologie The Somerset Maxi Dress ($120, originally $168): Yahoo Initiatives Editor Julia Webb says her mom owns three of these dresses from Anthropologie and they are compliment magnets. Read her full review of the gorgeous maxi dress here, then shop one for yourself while it's down to $120. Want something with a shorter hem? A mini Somerset is also on sale, as is an uber-trendy butter yellow shirtdress version.
Anrabess Two Piece Lounge Set ($34, originally $50): Loungewear looks luxe when it's monochromatic. Even though this set is casual, it feels so sophisticated and exemplifies the rich mom aesthetic that's been trending for a while. The pale apricot hue is a dream, but there are 17 colors to shop.
Wiholl Summer Top ($12, originally $26): We found a tee that's anything but boring, and it's just as comfy as those well-worn styles you have folded in your drawer. This adorable square neck design has charming ruffled trim and slightly puffed sleeves that give it a fun, trendy vibe.
Hanes Jersey Pocket Shorts ($13, originally $19): Our readers can't get enough of these practical picks, raving about how comfortable they are for everything from puttering around the house to vacation (where those pockets will come in handy). The shorts are soft and durable, with a wide elastic waistband and a drawstring for a secure fit.
Colorfulkoala Dreamlux High Waisted Workout Leggings ($28, originally $34): How do we love these leggings? Let us count the ways: For starters, the material is so soft and smooth that it rivals Lululemon's, and the wide waistband provides ample support without feeling too constricting. The fabric whisks away sweat while you work out, and shoppers say they pass the squat test. Stock up while you can get double discounts!
Evaless Round Neck Short Sleeve Shirt ($15, originally $18): You're looking at the chicest $15 you'll ever spend. We love the idea of pairing this crinkly blouse with tailored trousers for an office-appropriate ensemble at work. On weekends, you can pair it with some cute jean shorts and if you're heading out for a night on the town, try it with a midi skirt for a sleek duo. Seriously, this'll go with everything.
Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece Sweatpants ($39, originally $70): If you love the feel of sweatpants but don't want to look like you just rolled out of bed (even if you have), this fleece pair is for you and right now they're 44% off!
On Cloudnova Form 2 ($113, originally $140): Part performance, part streetwear, the Cloudnova Form 2 doesn't scream gym shoe, but it can move. Lightweight, breathable and stylish, it's made for walking the dog, hitting the gym or just pairing with leggings for a coffee run.
Amazon: We're seeing savings of up to 70% on everything from bedding and kitchenware to tech, clothing and beauty.
Best Buy: Save up to 50% on appliances, as well as on TVs, laptops, headphones and tablets.

Lodge 7.5 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven for $55 (originally $75): "This tough-as-nails pot has 'Lodged' its way in my heart," praised Senior Deals Writer Britt Ross. "There's not much I haven't made in this thing, from pasta dishes and stews to fried doughnuts, and it's all turned out exceptionally. Its 7.5-quart capacity can fit enough to feed a crowd, and since it's heat-safe up to 500°F, I never have to worry when placing it in the oven. Its slick enamel coating makes cleanup a cinch — never more than a rinse with soap and water, followed by a quick wipe."
grace & stella Award Winning Under Eye Mask for $19 (originally $29): Don't sleep on this deal! Not only will you be left without bags under your eyes, but you'll be spending a heckuva a lot less for these collagen-, glycerin- and vitamin C-infused eye masks.
MySmile Teeth Whitening Pen for $19 (originally $40): Say cheese! Your journey to brighter teeth just got a lot easier, thanks to this whitening kit. All you do is apply the gel to your teeth via the pen for 30-60 minutes a day, and after five days, you should see a serious difference (i.e., as much as 10 shades whiter). You'll get about 30 treatments out of this pack, and at 60% off, this is one of the best prices I've seen it marked down to. Now that's something to smile about.
CAROTE 14 Pcs Pots and Pans Set for $70 (originally $110): Get unstuck with a set of slick pots and pans. This attractive 14-piece collection just about has it all: 8- and 11-inch frying pans, a 4.3-quart casserole with lid, 1.8- and 4.5-quart saucepans with lids, four pan protectors, a spatula and a mixing spoon. That's all for $70 — less than you'd pay for a single pan from many brands.

With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.
Shark IQ Robot Vacuum for $248 (originally $499): Robovacs come in clutch for lazy — er, I mean, efficient — cleaners like me. But for a completely hands-off experience?

Not to mention, it's currently on sale for its lowest price yet.
Colorfulkoala Women's High Waisted Yoga Pants for $20 (originally $25): Even regularly priced at $25, these leggings would be a steal — but a discount is a discount, and you can grab certain colors and sizes of these beloved bottoms for just $20 today. That means you can snag a whopping five of these for the same price as just a single pair of similar-but-pricier options like the popular Lululemon Align leggings.
Apple iPad mini for $399 (originally $499): Traditional iPads are a bit too cumbersome for your daily routine? The smaller, more approachable iPad mini may be right up your alley. At only 8.3 inches, it's compact enough to hold with just one hand.

Android Circuit: Galaxy Z Fold7 Details, Honor Magic V5 Previewed, OnePlus Nord 5 Arrives

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Taking a look back at this week's news and headlines across the Android world, including Galaxy Z Fold7 specs, Pixel 10 Pro features leak, Galaxy S26 benchmarking, OnePlus Nord 5 released, Poco F7 debuts, Honor promises record-breaking Magic V5, and Google Photos' upgrade. Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Android in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Apple news here on Forbes. Galaxy Z Fold's Practical Upgrade Samsung has revealed details of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 on three occasions in the last three weeks, and it may not be done yet. Nevertheless, new details on the specs are coming out alongside the official teasers. One of those regards the cover screen of the foldable and how practical the Fold 7 will be when closed: "This is good news and precisely what Fold users, myself included, have been calling for since rivals OnePlus and Google launched their wider-screened foldable phones. As exciting as that design shift will be, it was expected. I thought Samsung would make this change immediately after the Fold 6 launched last summer." (Forbes). Pixel 10's New Camera Feature Google looks set to make a switch with its macro photography option for the Pixel 10 family by moving the feature from the ultrawide hardware into the telephoto hardware. It's an approach used by other manufacturers, leading to improved close-up images: "Telephoto sensors are typically better, optics-wise, than the ultrawide sensor. Providing a better quality image on macro. Additionally, using the telephoto sensor means you can be further away from the subject, which is great for capturing insects. But it also means that you and the camera won't be blocking the light. Keep in mind that macro photography does need a good bit of light to produce a good image." (Android Headlines). Galaxy S26 Ready To Challenge The iPhone 17 Looking further ahead to next year's Galaxy S26 family, new details have leaked on the potential performance of the Snapdragon Elite 2 chipset earmarked for the South Korean flagship. The numbers match the single-core numbers of Apple's upcoming A19 Pro, and show a significant lead in multi-core performance: "The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip is rumored to be fabricated on TSMC's third-generation 3nm process node. Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has posted the chip's preliminary CPU performance results on Weibo. The chip's octa-core CPU reportedly scores over 11,000 points in Geekbench 6's multi-core CPU performance test and over 4,000 points in the single-core CPU performance test." (SamMobile). OnePlus Nord 5 Revealed OnePlus has confirmed a launch date of July 8 for the latest Nord phone, the OnePlus Nord 5. Alongside it, OnePlus also revealed the OnePlus CE5 OnePlus Pad Lite, OnePlus Watch 3, and OnePlus Buds 4. As the Nord 5 is squarely in the flagship-killer category, OnePlus will be balancing performance with price, none more so than in the choice of processor. It has stepped back to last year's flagship Snapdragon, which should offer capability while keeping the cost relatively low: "The Nord 5 is the latest in the company's mid-range smartphone line, and is the first Nord to feature a flagship Qualcomm chip — in this case the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3, which was designed for cheaper flagship phones — along with an upgraded cooling system and support for LPDDR5X RAM. That's all we know about the phone's specs, but from the picture we can glean that it'll come in a pale blue finish (officially dubbed 'Dry Ice') and features a dual rear camera." (The Verge). Poco F7 Debuts Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 We already knew that the F7 would ship with 12 GB of memory, presumably backed up by various storage levels and a 6,000 mAh battery. As well as confirming a release date of June 24, Poco has announced the F7 will ship with the leading Snapdragon 8 chipset: "Poco has been drip-feeding us with information about the Poco F7, which will be unveiled on June 24. The brand previously revealed its battery size (7,550 mAh) and charging speed (90W), and yesterday, it gave us our first official look at the smartphone. Today, Poco confirmed that the F7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC." (GSM Arena). Honor Teases Record Breaking Foldable Honor has confirmed that its next foldable will launch on July 2nd in the Chinese market. Previous Magic V handsets have had an international launch a few months after China, and we'd expect the same to happen here. We're also expecting the push for innovation and records to continue in the V5: "Honor has suggested that its new foldable will depart from the current Magic V3 with a more powerful chipset, PC-level productivity and a design that is thinner than the Oppo Find N5 while also being lighter than the Vivo X Fold5." (Notebook Check). And Finally... Following hints at the new features in Google Photos, a deep dive into the pre-release APKs by the Android Authority team has revealed more about the features. No tools have been removed; they are laid out in a more logical fashion, many of the AI tools are now under Auto, and several new additions are included: "The 'Filters' section is also getting some love. A new 'Sky styles' option lets you choose from dramatic skyline effects like Luminous, Radiant, Vivid, Ember, and more. Google has also made a minor visual tweak to the filter selection tray, making it more intuitive to adjust filter strength." (Android Authority). Android Circuit rounds up the news from the Android world every weekend here on Forbes. Don't forget to follow me so you don't miss any coverage in the future, and of course, read the sister column in Apple Loop!

To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here. Let's start with this report, Matt. I mean, certainly the journal made a lot of headlines with it. They're saying, listen, the US might indeed revoke or cancel these waivers that allow global chip makers to send American tech to China. You know this sector, Matt, well, you've covered the industry for a long time. You saw that headline and that report. What what did you make of it? Um, well, I immediately thought about the the Korean memory makers, right? In in the sense that both Samsung and Hynix produce a lot of product, um, in China. It's a bit unclear to me exactly what proportion of that product might be affected. Is it all of it? Is it some some portion of it? But I I mean that's that's what struck me right away. When we talk about this American tech that's going to China, what kind of American tech are we are we talking about exactly, Matt? Yeah, so I'm thinking it's the semiconductor capital equipment. Uh so you you're talking about uh fly materials, you you're talking about lamb, um, and I'm assuming it's used in in some sort of process tech. So I I'm not sure if there's there's a point in in the sense that it's only the more advanced technology that that that's being restricted or if there's no cutoff point, um, but at least that would be my assumption. But again, there's there's not a there's not a ton of clarity around exactly what might be restricted. Would you guess, Matt, if we talk about the kind of chips that might be impacted here, would you think it would be, you know, the latest and greatest chips? Would it be more memory, more logic? The kind of chips that would go into your car, your consumer electronics? What do you think? Yeah, so if you're looking at at those Taiwanese companies, uh so you're talking UMC, uh you're talking Taiwan Semi. The the amount of manufacturing they have in China is is minimal, right? You're talking for both those vendors, low single digits. Um those are uh they're more mature technologies. So those would be the types of chips that would go into your car. Um but again, they have they have product elsewhere. Um I tend to think about them using those Chinese fabs to make product for China. So it just wouldn't really have much impact on us, wouldn't have much impact on their top or bottom line. On the memory side though, you you're talking much larger kind of portions of of Hynix and and Samsung output. And then certain products are are somewhat unique. So Intel's old memory fab which is in Dalian, China, it makes a high capacity NAND chip that really isn't comparable to what anyone else makes. Uh Hynix has been able to dominate the the market for high capacity SSDs. Um and so if that's affected, it it it has some real ramifications uh for the market since most of that product ends up in the US.

Sit pretty (for less): This outdoor sectional is 40% off for early Prime Day

It may not be Christmas, but it's the best time of the year for folks who like to save big. Yes, I'm talking Prime Day. Did you forget? According to the mega-retailer's recent announcement, the event will be from July 8 through July 11. Prime members will enjoy two extra days of savings on major brands, including Samsung, Kiehl's, and Levi's. Although the major shopping event is a few weeks away, there are already early Prime Day deals available, and in our experience, sometimes they're just as good (if not better) than the ones available during the official sale. Case in point: This 7-Seat Wicker Conversation Set Sectional from Best Choice Products, currently discounted nearly 40% off.
