If you have been waiting for the perfect moment to snag a new appliance, redo your backyard, or simply refresh your wardrobe—this is it. Memorial Day weekend in San Diego is packed with deals, and this year, the discounts are hotter than ever. According to RetailMeNot, 36% of adults plan to shop this weekend, a huge jump from 18% last year. So, if you are heading out, you are definitely not alone.
Big box retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Best Buy are offering major markdowns, especially on appliances, tools, and electronics. And it is not just home goods. Clothing, outdoor furniture, and even mattresses are being slashed in price. If you play your cards right, you could save hundreds—maybe even thousands—on items you actually need.
Where can I find the biggest memorial day appliance deals in San Diego?
Thinking about upgrading that old fridge or getting a washer that actually washes? Memorial Day is prime time for appliance sales. Both Home Depot and Lowe’s have been rolling out big discounts—think up to 40% off on top brands like Samsung, LG, and Whirlpool. You can also find bundled deals, where you save even more if you buy multiple appliances at once.
Best Buy is also worth checking out, especially if you are eyeing smart home gadgets or kitchen bundles. You will see deep price cuts on everything from dishwashers to dryers. And the good news? Most of these deals are available both online and in-store, so you can avoid the crowds if that is more your style.
Are memorial day sales at home improvement stores really worth it?
If you are a DIY-er or homeowner, the answer is a big yes. As Celeste Norman, a San Diego local, puts it:
“This is the candy store for all home buyers … and, you know, owners and people like me that have to repair everything.”
Home improvement retailers are offering serious discounts on grills, patio furniture, paint, power tools, and even plants. Lowe’s has markdowns on mulch, garden tools, and outdoor power equipment. Home Depot is pushing everything from cordless drills to patio sets at 20–50% off.
Even if you do not have a project lined up right now, it is not a bad idea to stock up for later—especially when the prices are this good.
What are the best clothing and fashion deals in San Diego this weekend?
Memorial Day fashion sales are another area where you can score big. San Diego’s shopping hubs like Fashion Valley, UTC, and Las Americas Premium Outlets are buzzing with markdowns. Retailers like Old Navy, Macy’s, and Nordstrom Rack are slashing prices by 30–70%.
Whether you are hunting for summer wear, activewear, or shoes, expect lots of BOGO (Buy One, Get One) deals and extra discounts on clearance items. If you are dressing a family or just refreshing your own closet, these sales are definitely worth the trip.
Should you shop online or in-store in San Diego this memorial day?
Here is the deal: both have their perks. In-store shopping lets you see, touch, and test items before buying—especially helpful for things like appliances and furniture. Plus, some San Diego retailers are offering in-store-only doorbusters that might make it worth braving the lines.
That said, almost all major chains are running the same—or even better—deals online. If you prefer to skip the crowds, check retailers’ websites first. Most offer free delivery or in-store pickup so you can still save without the hassle.
