Memorial Day sales 2022: 8 best early deals right now
Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer, so you'll find many deals on patio furniture and outdoor staples like grills. While you can get great deals on furniture, retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy are also discounting top-brand electronics.
While it's a great time to invest in a smart TV or a countertop oven, it's also a great time to start looking at what you need to build that PC before the summer heat kicks in. Here's a look at some of the best Memorial Day deals we've spotted. We're rounding up early deals right now but plan to update this guide throughout the month of May as more sales are announced and go live.
MSI Pulse GL66 15.6-Inch gaming laptop (save $219)
Best for portable PC gaming
Popular now
- Current price: $1,279
- Original price: $1,499
Gaming and portability can go hand-in-hand with the MSI Pulse 66 Gaming Laptop from the usual options like a Nintendo Switch. MSI laptop are one of the best brands on the market that provide the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics processor, so you'll be able to enjoy visually stunning PC games during summer travels. Plus, with Cooler Boost Technology, the CPU boost needed to play spec-heavy games will keep the laptop cool.
The lowest price we've seen on this is $1,099, but other models out on the market like the Acer Predator are about the same price with slightly lower specs like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. Really, you could opt for either model, but the higher graphics processor makes this one the better deal.
JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker (save $30)
Best for outdoor music listeners
- Current price: $99
- Original price: $129
Picked up that gas grill you were eyeing for your Memorial Day BBQ? JBL wants you to add some tunes to it–and save $30 off their signature Flip 5 Bluetooth Speaker. The IPX7 waterproof speaker can last up to 12 hours, and you can pair it with a Bluetooth compatible speaker to play sound indoors and outside. The lowest price we've seen is $94, but this is still one of the best Memorial Day deals we've seen this year, especially knowing that you can take this for your next camping trip, too.

Toshiba Fire TV Edition (save $130)
Best for watching sports
- Current price: $349
- Original price: $469
This smart 4K TV offers a 2160-pixel resolution, plus loads streaming options via Amazon's Fire TV platform. Similar to the Sony on this list, the 55-inch LED option is perfect for watching your favorite movies and shows. Because the TV was designed with LED technology, it's also great for viewing sports or for rooms with a brighter natural light. This is also the lowest price we've seen.
TP-Link Deco S4 Wi-Fi mesh system (save $20)
Best for budget-friendly mesh systems
- Current price: $129
- Original price: $149
A stable Wi-Fi connection in your own house is a must-have for at-home workers. With TP-Link's mesh technology, different units work together to form a unified network and maintain a seamless connection. I've used this model for over two years now, and find the accompanying app easy to navigate and customize parental settings. In his review, ZDNET Contributor Robin Harris highlighted the system's reliability as well as its ability to fully cover a 3,000 square foot home.
The lowest price I've seen on the Deco S4 is $99. That price is pretty rare, making this one of the best deals on the S4 in the foreseeable future.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core, 24-Thread Unlocked desktop processor (save $180)
Best for PC tinkerers
- Current price: $390
- Original price: $570
If you prefer to build your own desktop, chances are you've seen the crazy prices on CPUs and GPUs. If you're been looking to upgrade your CPU, AMD is running sales on their Ryzen CPU units. Finding a reasonably priced CPU or a GPU has been difficult for some time due to chip shortages, and we're finally seeing some of the stock come back – and the deals with those. You can save nearly $180 on the Ryzen 9 5900X 12-core, 24-Thread that can give up up to 4.8GHz of gaming power. Keep in mind that if you haven't already invested in one with this, you'll need a high performance cooler.
If you need more power, the good news is that it comes unlocked and capable of overclocking. This is also the lowest price we've seen for the Ryzen 9 5900x.
Ninja Air Fryer – 4 Quart (save $30)
Best for easy, fast cooking
- Current price: $89
- Original price: $119
If you haven't tried an air fryer, it's a great way to cook foods without the hassle of turning on the oven or heating the house. Just toss on some olive oil and your favorite spices and you have dinner with less cleanup.
This top-brand Ninja Air Fryer is at its lowest price yet and saves you $30. I've been using one for about a year now and it can cook two chicken breasts in about 20 minutes at 400-degree. The buttons make it simple to make dinner, and you can add veggies in with a protein and still have a tasty meal.
This is the lowest price we've seen on this air fryer, but if you want one that comes with an app and smart voice controls, you can opt for the Cosori – Pro XLS II Smart 5.8-Quart Air Fryer with Pizza Pan for $127, which will still save you $22 from its original $149 price tag.
Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch (save $150)
Best for Apple fans
- Current price: $1,249
- Original price: $1,499
Apple's computers are hardly ever marked down, and saving $150 on the 13-inch MacBook Pro is an unusual but welcome move from the tech retailer. This 2020 model packs the M1 chip, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD in a Space Gray-colored frame, so you'll get a speedy, reliable laptop.
In his review, Cliff Jones felt that Apple's signature Magic Keyboard was an improvement and was perfect for working. Additionally, he felt that for the powerful M1 chip and upgrades, the laptop was still light enough to take on the go.
