A 3-day weekend approaching, and with it, the opportunity to take advantage of some serious sales! With all the ads coming your way, how do you sort through the chaos and figure out how to get the best deals this Memorial Day Weekend?

Here are some of our favorite tips from financial experts and budget mavens.

Look for Furniture & Outdoor Décor Deals

This is a time of year that retailers are traditionally offering incredible deals on indoor and outdoor furniture and décor. If you’re looking to freshen up your home or patio/balcony space or even to invest in big furniture items, now is the time to look for what you need. Just be sure to skip the grills – you’ll find better deals on those at the end of the summer.

Upgrade Your Tools

From now through Father’s Day, you’ll find tools at heavy discounts. This is a perfect time to upgrade your power drill or get that set of wrenches you’ve been wanting. Don’t forget to look for tool storage, as well – chests and caddies will also be on sale.

Grab a Few Spring Wardrobe Essentials

Retailers will be eager to move spring fashion out to make room for summer and early autumn garments. While you might find a few decent deals on the new summer clothing hitting the racks, focus on those spring and late winter items, some of which might even be on clearance for 50% or more off. You might not get much wear out of them this year, but you’ll be ready for next spring!

Trick Out Your Kitchen

Have you been dying to splurge on a Vitamix Blender? Are you desperate for a food processor? Do you have dreams of juicing this summer? Memorial Day Weekend is one of the best times of year to take advantage of the sales on kitchen appliances.

Invest in a Good Mattress

About four times a year, mattress retailers offer huge discounts on mattresses – and this holiday weekend is one of them. Take a look at local ads, and drop by your local mattress stores to scout for the best deals. Many of them will offer 30-50% off discounts.
