Memorial Day is always the last Monday in May. This year, it falls on May 26.
Officially, Memorial Day sales tend to kick off the Friday before the holiday (this year, May 23). However, retailers tend to start posting early sale offers at the start of the month. We've already rounded up a handful of early Memorial Day sales above that are worth checking out. Just keep in mind that some retailers will likely hold back their best offers for the holiday weekend, or in some cases, Monday itself.
Historically, Memorial Day has been a great time to save on big-ticket home items like mattresses, patio furniture, major appliances and TVs. In recent years we've also seen an increase in offers from fashion and beauty brands. In short, you can think of the holiday weekend as sort of a mini Black Friday where you can find deals across nearly all product categories.
The Forbes Vetted team has researched, written and published hundreds of shopping guides on a wide range of topics. This includes our ever-expanding deals section, which continues to monitor the best discounts available to share with our readers.

Prime Video reportedly shows almost twice as many ads as it used to
If it feels like you spend a lot more time watching ads in Prime Video than you used to, that may not be a mistake. Amazon has increased the number of ads or "ad load" in Prime Video to four-to-six minutes of ads per hour, Adweek reports. Amazon's plan to increase the amount of advertising in its streaming service was previously reported in October 2024. Shifting to a max of six minutes of ads per hour is nearly double the up to three-and-a-half minutes of ads that could play when Amazon first converted its basic Prime Video subscription to an ad-supported tier. The company used to offer all of Prime Video's features and an ad-free experience for the cost of Amazon Prime ($159 per year / $15 per month) or $9 per month, but announced at the end of 2023 that avoiding ads would cost an extra $3 every month. Besides inserting ads, Amazon's basic plan also doesn't support for features like Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. Engadget has reached out to Amazon to confirm the ad load changes and will update this article if we hear back. Regardless of your tolerance for ads, cheaper ad-supported subscriptions have quickly become expected from most streaming services. Netflix, Max, Peacock and Paramount+ all offer subscriptions with ads. Even Apple, who could theoretically afford to lose money on subscriptions, reportedly started building a team to sell ads for a possible ad-supported tier of Apple TV+ in 2023. While adding more interruptions to the Prime Video experience isn't what anyone wants, Adweek does note that streaming services still insert far fewer ad breaks than broadcast TV. The ad load on traditional television "typically ranges from 13 to 16 minutes per hour."

Walmart to Broaden Drone Delivery Service to Three Additional States
Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is one of the best Dow stocks to invest in. The company is expanding its drone delivery service to three additional states, aiming to boost convenience for its customers. The retail giant announced plans to roll out the service at 100 locations over the next year in cities including Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa. This expansion will bring drone deliveries to a total of five states: Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. Customers can place orders through the app of Wing, the drone operator partnering with Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT). These drones can deliver within a six-mile radius of participating stores. The move is part of Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT)'s broader strategy to stay competitive with rivals like Amazon by enhancing convenience alongside affordability. Leveraging its network of over 4,600 stores nationwide, Walmart has been focusing on faster delivery options. It already offers Express Delivery for rapid doorstep service and InHome, a subscription program that delivers directly to customers' refrigerators. The retailer also expanded same-day prescription delivery, which it introduced last fall. Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is expanding its drone delivery service in response to high customer demand for fast, urgent deliveries like medicine, eggs, and fresh food. The service promises 30-minute delivery times, with over half of in-store items eligible. Since 2021, Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) has completed over 150,000 drone deliveries, though a previous plan to scale to 4 million homes fell short. It currently operates 21 drone sites in Arkansas and Texas through partners Wing and Zipline. While we acknowledge the potential of WMT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

‘If something's broken … you solve it': Why this startup founder is running for Bellevue City Council
Pradnya Desh, founder and CEO of legal-tech startup Advocat. (Photo courtesy of Pradnya Desh) Pradnya Desh is an attorney, a former U.S. diplomat, a college board trustee, and a startup founder and CEO. Now she wants to add Bellevue City Councilmember to her resume — and address challenges in the city with a focus she honed through tech. 'I want to bring a founder's mindset to government, the kind of thinking that we've used to solve problems,' Desh said. 'Because in tech, if something's broken you don't just wait, you have to solve it. We study a problem, we build, we talk to users, we iterate, and we constantly make it better. And that is missing from government.' Desh is the founder and CEO of Advocat, a startup that uses AI to help small companies create, negotiate, review and track legal documents, providing a layer of support to companies that might be priced out of traditional legal services. The Bellevue City Council is made up of seven at-large members who represent the entire city, and five are up for re-election in the fall. Desh is running for the non-partisan position against Councilmember Jared Nieuwenhuis, and has received the endorsement of King County Democrats and others. Policy priorities spelled out on Desh's campaign website include the usual hot-button issues in the region — affordable housing, expanded transit options, social equity, public safety and more. But she's bullish on the role she thinks she can play in government to help to boost the city's and region's startup ecosystem alongside founders, investors, accelerators and others. Just don't associate her move-fast-and-break-things mentality with the way Elon Musk approached his role in the Trump administration. 'It's strange to me that he did it the way that he did because one of the things we do in tech is also try to understand the problem pretty deeply,' Desh said. 'You understand the user's pain, you understand the environment, and then you build.' Building more affordable housing and more transportation infrastructure — not just in Bellevue but across the Seattle area — is one way Desh envisions making the region more startup friendly. Bellevue is a good place to start because she says it's a place that 'can move a little faster,' but it can still become a lot more tech friendly and business friendly. Amazon and Meta, and previously Microsoft, have all shown a desire to build and grow in Bellevue. And the city has attracted others to set up offices recently, including TikTok parent ByteDance, Shopify, Zoom, Snowflake, and Shein. Desh said big tech has a responsibility and an interest in making sure its employees can get from place to place and make the community around it better. 'We have a lot of the dots, but they're not all connected,' Desh said. 'What do startups need? We need funding, we need customers, and in general we need support. We need an ecosystem that supports us so that we find the right connections, we find the right employees — the city has a part in that.' And so does the state. Like others across tech, Desh is concerned about the impact of new taxes on businesses in Washington and the potential to drive tech companies out. 'Here we are trying to make our state much more startup friendly, to rival the Bay Area as a startup hub, and it pulls us in the wrong direction,' she said. 'I understand that the legislature was in a really difficult position in the fact that there's such a big budget shortfall. But we need to solve it in a different way.' Maybe she'll solve it at the next level of government. Desh, a mother of three with two sons at the University of Washington, first has to win a City Council election, but she said she does plan to seek higher office at some point. 'I want to see what I can do to help Bellevue now, and especially help our region right now,' she said. 'And I think City Council is a very good place to start solving problems now. I'd like to make as much impact as I can at this level and then broaden it.'
