Aside from granting us some much-deserved time off work and school, we look forward to Memorial Day weekend because it's one of the best times to score major deals across virtually every shopping category.

This year, Amazon's official Memorial Day sale starts May 16 and runs through Monday, May 26 — so you can shop deep discounts all weekend long. Not sure if you should hold out for Prime Day sales or start stocking your cart now? Our seasoned editors scoured Amazon's Memorial Day sale section to recommend the only deals worth snapping up now.

Shop Amazon's Memorial Day Sale

We found record-low prices on coveted tech finds right now, like an Apple iPad and MacBook Air that are worth snapping up now. Plus, we spotted impressive savings on Good Housekeeping Institute-tested luggage and home items, including a top-tested Samsonite suitcase set, GH Bedding Award-winning microfiber sheets and the viral Stanley tumbler.

Since Amazon just wrapped up its Pet Day and Summer Beauty Haul sales earlier this month, savings in these categories are harder to come by right now.
