I always get asked, “When’s the best time to buy ____?”
For big ticket items, the answer is normally “on a 3 day weekend”! We always see the lowest prices over long weekends. There are a few specifics, though, depending on the time of year and current trends.
Here are all the deals to grab over the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend (plus a few to avoid and wait for another holiday).
Top Deals to Shop
- 45% off appliances at Lowes & Home Depot—remember to get them to honor other prices if you find it lower somewhere else and to even honor free delivery/haul away if others are offering that in your area
- 50% off mattresses at various retailers online and locally
- 25-40% off smart watches on sale at Best Buy
- Up to 50% off patio furniture at Walmart and Target
- Garden and yard planting deals on mulch, potting soil, and plants at both Home Depot & Lowes
- Large sporting goods items like kayaks and above ground pools
- Up to 70% off clearance items at Wayfair through 5/26
