Home Depot offers up to 70% off

ABC7 Los Angeles on May 21 rounded up Memorial Day shopping promotions across appliances and home goods, pointing readers to discounts at Home Depot, Wayfair, Walmart and other national chains. The station said Home Depot was offering up to 48% off refrigerators, dishwashers and other appliances, while Wayfair was advertising appliance discounts of 40% off. Separate Wayfair sale pages and retailer coverage showed broader Memorial Day markdowns reaching up to 70% off in categories including rugs, seating and home decor. Memorial Day in 2026 falls on May 25, and several retailers launched promotions more than a week ahead of the holiday. ### Where does the “up to 70% off” figure come from? Wayfair’s Memorial Day clearance page listed discounts as high as 70% off on some categories, including area rugs, while outdoor furniture, mattresses and several furniture categories were marked up to 50% off. USA Today also reported last week that Wayfair’s Memorial Day sale had “up to 70% off” on outdoor furniture, home decor and more. That makes the 70% figure part of the wider holiday-sale landscape, even though ABC7’s appliance-focused roundup cited lower category-specific discounts for Wayfair appliances.

The station grouped Home Depot with other retailers running Memorial Day appliance promotions, including Walmart and Dyson, and framed the offers as part of broader holiday shopping across major home and electronics categories. Home Depot’s own Memorial Day sale landing page confirms the retailer is running a holiday event, though the page preview surfaced in search results did not list the same detailed percentages shown in ABC7’s roundup. (wayfair.com) ### Is this only about appliances? ABC News reported this week that Memorial Day promotions in 2026 extend beyond appliances to outdoor furniture, mattresses, fashion and other seasonal categories. That broader spread is also visible in Wayfair’s sale pages, where patio items, lighting, bedding and seating were included, and in Home Depot coverage from USA Today highlighting patio furniture, grills and appliances. The holiday sales window is one of the larger seasonal pushes for home-improvement and home-furnishing retailers before summer. (abc7.com) ### Why were shoppers being told to compare Lowe’s and Home Depot? Yahoo Shopping published a May 21 comparison of Lowe’s and Home Depot Memorial Day deals, focusing on overlapping categories such as tools and appliances. The comparison reflected how the two chains use the holiday to compete on similar big-ticket purchases, especially refrigerators, laundry machines, grills and outdoor project items. ABC7’s advice to compare retailers fits that pattern, because advertised savings often vary by category rather than by one store winning across the board. (abcnews.com) ### How early did these promotions start? Yahoo reported that Home Depot’s 2026 Memorial Day offers began on May 14 across more than 1,000 products. Other deal trackers and retailer pages also showed promotions already live in mid-May, well before the May 25 holiday. That timing is typical for large U.S. retail events, where chains open discounts early and keep rotating featured products through the holiday weekend. (msn.com) ### What should readers watch next? May 25 is the key date because Memorial Day itself often marks the final day, or near-final stretch, of these promotions. Home Depot’s Memorial Day sale page and Wayfair’s Memorial Day clearance page were both active on May 21, and retailer coverage from ABC7, ABC News and Yahoo Shopping indicated that appliances, patio furniture, mattresses and decor remained central categories in the current offers.
