5 Memorial Day deals that are worth your time (including a Costco membership discount)

1 day ago 7

Memorial Day weekend is coming up, and it's a good time to take advantage of the long weekend's deals. I've been scouring sales to find the best deals to share with ZDNET readers, since I have lots of deal-hunting expertise during the busiest times of the year, including Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, which is also fast approaching.

I'm sharing my favorite current offers across retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and beyond. Here are my favorite deals I've spotted so far, like great prices on the Hisense Canvas TV, 30 days of Walmart+ for just $1, the new Fitbit Air for $99 with a free band, and more.

The new Fitbit Air drops on May 26, and Amazon's $99 bundle deal is selling fast. I spotted this deal over the weekend, and the Obsidian color sold out but was restocked at least once over the last few days.

This preorder offer saves you 26% on the new wearable, essentially scoring you the band for free with the $36 you save. This is a great under $100 buy on a totally new item.

The newest 2026 S7 TV (and Hisense's response to Samsung's Frame TV) is now on sale at its lowest price to date. The 55-inch model is 43% off, bringing it down to under $1,000. I purchased the 2024 model at the same price in December, so this is a strikingly good deal on the latest Canvas model.

I've been waiting to try Walmart+ (Walmart's version of Amazon Prime), and now is finally the time.

Right now, you can sign up for a month of Walmart+ for just $1, and get free grocery and pharmacy delivery, free next-day and two-day shipping, $0.10 a gallon savings on gas, your choice of Peacock or Paramount+ streaming service, and more with your membership.

If you don't want to continue, just cancel before the 30 days are up, and you won't be charged more than $1. If you do want to continue, Walmart+ costs $12.99 a month or $98 for the year -- which is still cheaper than a Peacock Premium yearly subscription ($110 annually) and close to a Paramount+ Essential annual plan ($90 a year).

Costco has some offers out just in time for the holiday weekend, too. If you're a new member or an individual who has not been a Costco member in over 18 months, you can join now and receive a free $20 shop card when you enroll in the Gold membership (65 per year) or a $40 shop card if you enroll in the executive plan ($130 per year).

This promotion is available in-store and online.
