Lowe's discounts a selection of items during its Memorial Day Sale, with prices starting at $2.50. It's essentially tied with last week's Pre-Memorial Day sale and among the best sales we've seen from Lowe's in recent months, yielding several current price lows. (We saw a similar sale four days ago.) Shipping starts around $6, or spend $49 or more to qualify for free shipping. (Free in-store pickup is also available on select items; oversized items may carry a surcharge.) Note that for some items, prices and stock may vary by ZIP code. Deal ends May 27.

A best bet is the the Grill Master 4-Burner Stainless Steel Gas Grill (pictured), model no. 720-0697, for $169. Select free in-store pickup to avoid the $65 delivery cost. That's tied with our mention from a week ago as one of the least expensive 4-burner gas grills we've seen, although it was $20 less just over year ago. This 48,000-BTU gas grill features a 667-square-inch cooking surface, plus a stainless steel lid and burners.
