Memorial Day weekend has arrived, which means Americans are officially allowed to buy things for their lawns at prices that are merely 'aggravating' rather than 'infuriating.' Lowe's has joined the annual tradition of slapping discounts on everything from smart appliances and grills to lawn mowers and hand tools, so you can tackle that project you've been avoiding since last summer while saving a bunch of cash.
To help you navigate the sea of markdowns, we've curated a list of the best deals at Lowe's right now. Top of the list is the 36-inch Blackstone griddle grill, which your humble narrator owns and is 'absolutely in love with.' The cast iron grill top provides even, consistent heat for burgers and brats, and yes, the author has even made tortellini on it using a cloche and squeeze bottle of water. Because if you can't cook pasta on your grill, what's even the point of freedom?
Also on offer: a side-by-side fridge with a brushed steel design and a triple ice maker built into the door. It's Wi-Fi compatible, so you can monitor its power consumption in the SmartThings app, because nothing says 'relaxing holiday weekend' like obsessively checking your fridge's energy usage.
For those who need a place to store popsicles and extra groceries year-round, a small chest freezer is available, compact enough for your garage, shed, or basement without sacrificing space for other appliances and tools.
Greenworks is offering an outdoor gear bundle that includes a leaf blower, string trimmer, and self-propelled push mower, plus a battery and charging station. It's the perfect way to upgrade your entire lawn care arsenal in one fell swoop, or to kickstart your first toolshed if you've been living in a state of grass-based anarchy.
Finally, Samsung has a top-load washing machine designed with pet owners in mind. It features an impeller design and a dedicated Pet Care wash cycle that removes up to 6 times more pet hair than other Samsung washing machines. It also has a Super Speed cycle that can wash a load in as little as 28 minutes - perfect for when you need a clean work uniform before an interview or, presumably, when your dog has decided to become a furry roommate.
The United States will observe Memorial Day on Monday, May 25, 2026. Please remember to pause between bargain-hunting and grilling to reflect on the actual meaning of the day.
