Home Depot, Lowe's Memorial Day deals

Home Depot and Lowe’s entered Memorial Day weekend with promotions centered on outdoor projects, yard work and power tools, according to deal roundups published on May 23 and May 24. CNN Underscored said Home Depot’s sale covered patio furniture, grilling accessories, power tools and bathroom vanities, while ZDNET reported that both chains were running tool discounts of up to $400. Good Housekeeping’s weekend coverage added garden supplies to the list, highlighting discounts on bagged mulch, plants, gardening items and some appliances. The magazine’s latest content feed on May 24 also promoted Memorial Day gardening deals for plant shoppers. ### Which categories were being pushed most heavily? Home Depot’s featured Memorial Day categories included patio furniture, grilling accessories, power tools and bathroom vanities, according to CNN Underscored’s May 23 roundup of holiday sales. (cnn.com) That mix put seasonal outdoor spending alongside indoor renovation items. ZDNET’s May 23 report focused more narrowly on tools, saying Home Depot and Lowe’s had early Memorial Day power-tool deals with discounts reaching $400. (goodhousekeeping.com) The article cited DeWalt and Milwaukee as featured brands. ### What was Lowe’s emphasizing? Lowe’s appeared most prominently in the tool and garden coverage. (cnn.com) ZDNET included Lowe’s alongside Home Depot in its power-tool roundup, and Good Housekeeping separately pointed readers to Lowe’s Memorial Day sale for mulch, plants, gardening items and appliances. (zdnet.com) Good Housekeeping’s gardening coverage also suggested shoppers were being steered toward seasonal curb-appeal purchases rather than only big-ticket renovations. Its feed described Memorial Day gardening deals as aimed at plant parents, matching the broader focus on mulch and outdoor upkeep in the weekend coverage. ### What kinds of yard products were singled out? Good Housekeeping’s mulch coverage highlighted bagged mulch deals across retailers including Home Depot, Lowe’s and Amazon. (zdnet.com) The outlet said the offers included hardwood blends, cedar mulch and recycled rubber options. Those products fit the timing of the holiday weekend, when retailers typically market quick landscaping upgrades and outdoor cleanup items. (goodhousekeeping.com) In the published deal coverage reviewed here, mulch and plants sat alongside grills, patio sets and tools as the main seasonal purchases. ### How should shoppers read “up to $400 off”? ZDNET’s “up to $400 off” framing referred to selected power-tool deals, not a storewide markdown, based on the wording of its May 23 article. (goodhousekeeping.com) The report named DeWalt and Milwaukee but did not present the discount as applying across all inventory. (cnn.com) CNN Underscored and Good Housekeeping also presented their coverage as curated sale roundups rather than full pricing lists. That means the reported discounts were tied to selected items and categories chosen by each outlet’s editors. ### Where were these deals being tracked over the weekend? CNN Underscored’s Memorial Day sales roundup was published on May 23, ZDNET’s tool-deals article was live the same day, and Good Housekeeping’s gardening and shopping coverage was appearing through May 24. (zdnet.com) Those pages were the main published references tracking the weekend promotions from Home Depot and Lowe’s. (cnn.com) Memorial Day weekend in 2026 runs through Monday, May 25, according to Good Housekeeping’s May 21 sales guide. Shoppers looking for current item availability would need to check the retailers’ live sale pages and the publishers’ updated deal roundups before the holiday ends. (goodhousekeeping.com) (cnn.com)
