Memorial Day 2024 officially takes place on May 27 this year, but even before that date, many of the biggest online retailers in the US have been slashing their prices across the board on a huge variety of products.

The Louder team have been diving into the sales and selecting a few of our favourites which you can find below - but if you can't wait, here are a couple of deals that we thought were excellent.

First up is a $40 saving on the Apple AirPods (2nd gen) over at Walmart which have been reduced from $129 down to $89 making this a top deal. East to use and superb audio delivery makes these earbuds a firm favourite. A charging case is included in the price too.

If collecting Funko Pop! figures and you’re looking to add something AC/DC shaped to your collection, Amazon have knocked 21% off the list price of their Highway To Hell-inspired Angus Young figure - down from $24.99 to $19.86. Angus is presented with his horned cap and he’s also sprouted a devil tail to boot. 

Keep your eyes locked on Louder for more great Memorial Day deals.

When is Memorial Day 2024?

Memorial Day annually takes place on the last Monday in May and this year it’ll take place on Monday, May 27. The day is a federal holiday in the United States and honours military personal who have died while serving their country.

When do the Memorial Day deals start?

While it’s a federal holiday, Memorial Day is also a day where retailers are known to cut stock prices right across the board, with sales always getting under way in the lead up to the day itself. While there are plenty of deals to be found right now on headphones, vinyl, pop culture collectables and more, the day itself will bring even more price reductions.

How can I spot the best Memorial Day deals?

Memorial Day 2024 deals will be spread across multiple websites and we've provided the links to some of them at the top of this guide. If you're after a bargain on headphones, turntables, speakers, vinyl or anything else, we have a few recommendations. First, find out the RRP of the product you’re after. That way you’ll be able to see at a glance how much money you're actually saving.

Keep a list of the products you have your eye on and check back regularly throughout Memorial Day itself to see if that must-have product has been slashed in price. Deals are likely to change as the day progresses so keep tabs on those products. 

As for what makes a good deal, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a cut in price – although that will be the main focus. There could be two for one offers on or added extras included with an item. Streaming sites such as Amazon Music Unlimited or Hulu can sometimes give you three months for the price of one for example.
