Memorial Day always feels like the start of summer, since the long weekend is prime time to throw a BBQ party and fire up the grill. We see grocery stores drop prices on things like hot dogs, burger patties, BBQ sauce, cans of soda, chips, and everything else you might need to throw an outdoor get-together. All in all, these Memorial Day grocery food deals will help you kick off the warm weather season without spending a ton on food.
And if you’re more into eating than you are cooking, you can also get some Memorial Day food deals at restaurants (especially if you’re a military veteran or active-duty personnel), along with veteran discounts at select retailers all year long.
