When is Memorial Day 2020? 

Memorial Day 2020 occurs on Monday, May 25. The federal holiday honors the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Memorial Day is referred to as the unofficial start of summer. It’s also the first major sales event for the summer season. So far, we’re noticing better deals than usual. Given the state of the economy and rumors that Amazon is moving Amazon Prime Day to September, this could be your best bet at saving big this summer. 

What are the best Memorial Day sales now?

Memorial Day sales tend to focus on outdoor items like patio furniture, grills, and summer apparel. On the tech front, Memorial Day sales are generally great for finding deals on laptops, TVs, and fitness devices. Although they don’t fall into either category, mattress deals also tend to see an uptick during Memorial Day sales. 

Memorial Day sales and the Nintendo Switch

No holiday is complete without gaming deals and Memorial Day is no exception. However, if you’re hoping to find deals on the Nintendo Switch, we’ve got bad news. It’s unlikely you’ll even see it in stock. Switch inventory is still extremely depleted across the country as Nintendo struggles to ramp up production. The silver lining is that Switch inventory is expected to make a comeback later this summer. So if you happen to come across a Switch console in stock at list price on Memorial Day — buy it immediately. (Make sure to follow our guide on where to buy the Nintendo Switch for the latest news on inventory).

The Hottest Travel Destinations for Seniors Right Now

Unencumbered by work and kids, many retirees are upping their travel game. An analysis by Priceline found that boomers book the longest average length of stay on their vacations, relative to other age groups, and spend significantly more on flights and hotels than younger travelers. “Baby boomers are active travelers,” says Kevin O’Leary, senior analyst at Priceline, via email. So where are seniors headed? To find out, MONEY teamed up with Priceline to get information on travelers aged 60 and over; the company analyzed millions of bookings across all age groups, spanning thousands of destinations, hotels and flight routes from 2017 to 2018. The resulting list, below, identifies the most common travel destinations for adults 60 and older. We’ve also plugged in pricing info from MONEY’s Best in Travel database, and found a couple of activities at each location to fill your time. Read on for the 10 hottest vacation spots for retirees:

1. Chicago

Average hotel night: $174 Average 2017 airfare: $249 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $1,979 Chicago hits a traveler trifecta: cultural attractions, world-class food and plenty of natural beauty. Learn about the city’s iconic buildings aboard the Chicago Architecture Foundation river cruise. The 90-minute ride costs $47 during the day, and $52 to see the buildings light up at twilight (with a 7:30 p.m. departure). The city is also home to 25 Michelin-starred restaurants, plus a plethora of no-frills diners and joints that serve authentic (and delicious) fare. On the upscale side, book a reservation at Acadia for an eight-course tasting menu. For family style cuisine, try Mexican bites like tacos and mole at Mi Tocaya. At Navy Pier, the 200-foot Centennial Wheel on Chicago’s skyline offers views of Lake Michigan. If you’d rather stay at ground level, walk along the 18-mile Chicago Lakefront Trail, which passes Lincoln Park Zoo, Grant Park, and the South Shore Cultural Center.

2. Orlando

Average hotel night: $123 Average 2017 airfare: $254 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $1,509 Orlando is home to child-friendly favorites like Disney World, so some seniors may well be visiting with their grandkids. But the tourism hub can be just as enjoyable — if not more so — for retirees. For one thing, Disney World itself has plenty of adult-friendly entertainment right on site. Eat a bratwurst, drink sake, shop for Moroccan textiles, and watch Chinese acrobats all in the same day at the World Showcase exhibit at Disney’s Epcot park. Or eat an authentic French feast at the Beauty and the Beast-inspired restaurant, Be Our Guest. (Tickets don’t come cheap: two-day tickets cost $209 per person ages 10 and up, with no senior discounts.) Orlando is also a great jumping-off point for nearby attractions. Drive an hour east to New Smyrna Beach for 13 miles of sand, as well as smaller crowds than other east coast Florida beaches. Farther afield, you can visit the Kennedy Space Center to learn about our country’s space exploration history and current advancements. Single-day tickets cost $57 for adults, and $50 for seniors 55 and older.

3. Denver

Average hotel night: $130 Average 2017 airfare: $242 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $1,863 Traveling this fall? Immerse yourself in Denver pride with a Broncos game in Mile High Stadium. When you get hungry, check out the Denver Central Market food hall for local bites and sweets, including roasted meats from SK Provisions (owned by renowned chef Sean Kelly) and artisan cheese from Culture Meet & Cheese. Many people also choose Colorado for its natural beauty. Denver is just a bit more than an hour from one of the best national parks in the country, Rocky Mountain National Park. Take a hike on one of the 355 miles of trails, available for all skill levels. The Lily Mountain trail, for instance, offers panoramic views of Longs Peak during the 4-mile trek. Park entry costs $30 per vehicle, and seniors 62 or older are eligible for a $20 annual pass (or $80 lifetime pass) for access to all national parks and other federal recreation sites.

4. Las Vegas

Average hotel night: $110 Average 2017 airfare: $264 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $1,620 What’s a visit to Sin City without a little gambling? Known for its massive casinos and hotels, Las Vegas delivers different experiences at each location: You can play the slots among Roman gods and goddesses at Caesars Palace, or get the movie star experience at Planet Hollywood’s flashy casino. Away from the tables, watch risque dancers and acrobats at a Cirque du Soleil show. Or if you’re looking for a more chill experience, head over to the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay for a chance to see Komodo dragons, stingrays, zebra sharks, jellyfish and more. Tickets to the aquarium cost $23 for seniors 65 and older.

5. Phoenix

Average hotel night: $102 Average 2017 airfare: $310 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $1,692 Phoenix and its neighboring communities are home to a whopping 200 golf courses. For luxury amenities and guest service, visit the Raven Golf Club; for views of the Sonoran desert terrain, try your game at Lookout Mountain Golf Club. On non-golf days, learn about the area’s American Indian tribal community and artwork at the Heard Museum (tickets cost $13.50 for seniors 65+, and $18 for adults). Explore the area’s natural flora at the Desert Botanical Garden for $24.95. Walk the area’s numerous trails, or explore the work of local artist Frank Gonzales in an exhibit open from September 2018 to January 2019.

6. New York

Average hotel night: $245 Average 2017 airfare: $295 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $2,554 New York City’s dozens of landmarks, museums and attractions won’t leave you bored — and almost all of them have senior discounts. Stop by the Empire State Building ($35 for seniors) or Rockefeller Center‘s Top of the Rock ($34 for adults 62+) for stunning views of the city. The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island give you a crash course on 20th century immigration to the U.S. Admire the work of Vincent Van Gogh and Jackson Pollock at the Museum of Modern Art, or get a broader sense of art history at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. You can get lost in Central Park on a warm day, but if it rains, head over to the historic Plaza Hotel for high tea at the Palm Court ($75 per person).

7. Seattle

Average hotel night: $163 Average 2017 airfare: $317 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $2,168 Glass takes a central role in two of Seattle’s popular landmarks. Get views of Seattle’s skyline from the city’s Space Needle, which features The Loupe — the world’s only rotating glass floor. Then visit the sculptural glass wonders at the Chihuly Garden and Glass. A two-in-one ticket is $41 for seniors 65+ ($49 for adults). Seattle also boasts some of the country’s best breweries. If you’re in Seattle during the fall, grab a pumpkin beer from Elysian brewery and beer hall. If alcohol isn’t your thing, try out the quirky, famous cream cheese-covered Seattle-style hot dog at Monster Dogs.

8. Philadelphia

Average hotel night: $150 Average 2017 airfare: $310 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $2,052 Known as the birthplace of American democracy, Philadelphia holds some iconic historic attractions: You can step inside Independence Hall, where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed, or inspect the crack on the Liberty Bell from close range. (Admission to Independence Hall itself is by tour only; you can book online or by phone.) For more early American history, learn about the life of Benjamin Franklin at his namesake museum, or visit the Philadelphia History Museum ($8 for senior citizens). When you’re hungry, grab homemade pasta and chocolate at the 9th Street Italian Market, America’s oldest outdoor market. Guided tours of the market, which come with free food samples, cost $29 for adults.

9. Washington

Average hotel night: $183 Average 2017 airfare: $303 Cost for a 5-day trip (for two): $2,198 Immerse yourself in American culture by visiting D.C.’s many monuments and museums. For easy transport to the district’s many sites, take a Big Bus hop-on, hop-off tour. Single-day tickets cost $49 for adults, and buses arrive at each stop every 20-30 minutes. In the evening, catch a show at the iconic Kennedy Center, which hosts plays, comedy shows, jazz concerts, ballet performances, and more. There’s a free performance everyday at 6 p.m., and you can even take a free guided tour of the center.

10. Portland, Ore.

Average hotel night: $136 Average 2017 airfare: $416 Cost to spend 5 days for 2: $1,987 Foodie culture rules in Portland, and brunch is serious business. Grab vegan eats and probiotic-fueled smoothies at Harlow, or opt for Southern fried chicken and waffles for $16 at Screen Door. Alternately, grab breakfast fare and local coffee at the Saturday Market — and stay to shop for locally crafted jewelry, handbags, clothing and more. Afterward, head over to the Japanese Garden and sit beneath cherry trees and next to koi ponds. Learn more about Japanese traditions at the Culture Village, or grab tea and matcha rolls at the Umami Cafe. Adult tickets to the garden cost $16.95 in summer, $14.50 for seniors. (Winter prices are slightly lower.)

Methodology

To find the hottest vacation destinations for seniors, MONEY partnered with Priceline to find the cities where consumers age 60 and older booked the most hotel rooms and airfare through Priceline.com. Priceline used data for the 12 months ending July 2018, looking at millions of total bookings across more than 21,000 destinations. MONEY calculated the cost of airfare using data from KAYAK.com, and pulled the cost to spend five days (for two people) from our Best in Travel database. Read the full article

If you love inky blacks and vibrant colors—and who doesn’t?—this 2017 OLED LG TV is down to $1500 today on MassDrop, or $2300 for 65″, about $200 and $400 less than Amazon, respectively.

As you’d expect from any high-end TV these days, that gets you a 4K panel and Dolby Vision HDR, but OLED technology means the blacks will be far richer, and the colors more vibrant than any LCD-based screen you can buy. It’ll still cost you, but your eyes will tell you it was worth it.

We’ve all had to throw away leftovers or cuts of meat and cheese that spent a little too much time in the fridge or freezer, but vacuum sealing your foods can keep them safe from freezer burn pretty much indefinitely, and dramatically extend their shelf life everywhere else.

It sounds like an expensive proposition, but today only, Amazon’s selling the well-reviewed FoodSaver Starter Kit for just $30, complete with everything you need to get started. That’s the best price ever by over $15, and the first time it’s been under $50 on Amazon since 2012.

Of course, you can use this to store meats in the freezer for a long time, but it can also keep cheese from molding, lettuce from wilting, or cookies from going stale, just to name a few examples. Think about how much food you throw away, and you’ll get a sense of just how quickly this purchase could pay for itself.

I’m pretty sure I could spend every day of the next three months in long johns, and with this 30% off Amazon coupon, I could probably afford to. Choose from multiple sizes and colors, all for about $8 at checkout.

The Philips Norelco Multigroom is actually a ton of shaving tools in one: A beard trimmer, a hair cutter, and a body groomer. $20 gets you the trimmer, 13 length combs, a precision trimming attachment, a nose hair trimmer, a wide hair-cutting blade, and more. Oh, and the whole thing runs for up to three hours on a charge, so you won’t have to travel with the charger.

Nordstrom has three large sales each year: The Anniversary Sale and two Half-Yearly Sales. Well, this week marks the end of the second half of the year, so Nordstrom is taking up to 50% off a boatload of styles. It’ll take time to look through all the stuff, so maybe pencil it in as a meeting at work or pretend you’re in the bathroom and avoid your family or something.

When it comes to having a corner on the market, nothing really compares to Nike. And right now, take an extra 25% off their sale styles for both men and women, no code needed, as post-holdiday deal. Everything you could need for a good workout wardrobe is included, from apparel, to sneakers, to gear.

Note: If you don’t see the discount, try using promo code WINTER25, which is how this deal was supposed to work.

Amazon hasn’t been shy about offering up discounted Kindle books over the past week, but I suspect that the New Year will see a significant slowdown in sales, back to a more typical ~once per week schedule.

Two of your favorite toaster ovens, the Breville Smart Oven and the Breville Compact Smart Oven, are both around $40 off today, and the Breville Smart Oven Air is down about $80. (See this chart to compare features them all side-by-side.)Let’s start with the classic Smart Oven. On top of the praise from our readers (they say it basically replaces their normal oven), it boasts a very impressive 4.7-star rating with over 1,000 reviews. At $216, it’s the cheapest it has been since February.$216From amazon1539 purchased by readersGizmodo Media Group may get a commissionThe Compact, as you may have assumed, is ideal for smaller kitchen.

As you’d expect from any high-end TV these days, that gets you a 4K panel and Dolby Vision HDR, but OLED technology means the blacks will be far richer, and the colors more vibrant than any LCD-based screen you can buy.

So you could all sit in a circle on your phones with a football game blaring in the background, or you could pick out some board games or puzzles from today’s Amazon Gold Box, and enjoy those together instead (probably with football still blaring in the background).This sale is definitely geared towards family-friendly games, so you won’t find your favorite obscure German board game with a complex in-game economy and an instruction book the size of an Agatha Christie novel in here. But Operation is fun as hell, and I wouldn’t mind playing Mouse Trap again.
