Memorial Day grill deals up to $200

CNET and NBC News Select published Memorial Day deal roundups on May 21 that pointed shoppers toward discounts on grills, tools, appliances and other outdoor gear ahead of the holiday weekend. CNET said its grill roundup included gas and electric models marked down by as much as $200. NBC News Select, in a separate Home Depot-focused list, said the retailer’s Memorial Day sale included items starting at $2. (nbcnews.com) ### How big are the grill discounts this weekend? CNET said Memorial Day grill promotions this week reached up to $200 off on select gas and electric grills. (nbcnews.com) The outlet surfaced the offers as part of its seasonal deals coverage tied to backyard cooking and outdoor shopping. The CNET result available in search points readers to the site’s grills and deals coverage rather than a single product page, but the central claim in the roundup was straightforward: shoppers looking for a grill before Memorial Day could find triple-digit markdowns on some models. (cnet.com) ### What is NBC News Select saying about Home Depot? NBC News Select reported on May 21 that Home Depot’s Memorial Day sale covered tools, appliances and gardening supplies, with prices starting at $2. The article was written by Harry Rabinowitz and framed the sale as one of the retailer’s main holiday-weekend promotions. (cnet.com) NBC News Select highlighted several examples, including Miracle-Gro All Purpose Garden Soil at $2, a Dewalt Atomic 20V Cordless Compact Drill Kit at $99 from $179, and a Whirlpool over-the-range microwave at $239 from $399. (cnet.com) The article said no membership was required to shop the sale. ### Are these deals only about grills? Home Depot’s sale, as described by NBC News Select, went beyond grilling equipment and extended into broader home and outdoor categories. The retailer’s featured markdowns included hand tools, paint supplies, gardening products and appliances. (nbcnews.com) NBC News Select also tied the event to the wider Memorial Day shopping calendar, while another NBC Select guide published this week said the holiday is typically a strong time to buy seasonal home and outdoor goods. That guide cited Stephanie Carls, a retail insights expert at RetailMeNot, saying sales are most effective when what retailers want to sell matches what shoppers want to buy. (nbcnews.com) ### Why are retailers pushing outdoor and home gear now? Memorial Day has long been used by retailers to promote summer categories, and NBC News Select’s broader shopping guide this week said outdoor goods are among the clearest examples in 2026. (nbcnews.com) The timing lines up with the start of the summer entertaining season, when grills, garden supplies and patio items move to the front of store promotions. CNET’s grill coverage fits that pattern. Its deals coverage this spring has repeatedly emphasized seasonal outdoor products, including grills and backyard equipment, as retailers try to capture holiday-weekend demand. (nbcnews.com) ### Where can shoppers look next? CNET’s grill deals coverage and NBC News Select’s Home Depot sale list were both live as of May 22, one day after publication. NBC News Select also had a broader Memorial Day sales hub and weekly deals page active this week for additional markdowns across retailers. (nbcnews.com) Memorial Day falls on May 25 this year, and the current roundups indicate the offers are being positioned for shoppers buying before the long weekend cookout rush.
