You've likely seen the ads while scrolling on your phone or watching TV... stores are promising major discounts for Memorial Day weekend. MORE ⬇️
"We're starting to see the retailers really amp up their offerings now," said Julie Ramhold, a consumer analyst for DealNews.com,"We're expecting clothing to be discounted up to 80% over the course of the weekend.
Ramhold tells us there are some surprises,"Summery items. So, if you're looking for patio furniture, it's a surprise. We don't normally necessarily expect to see those kinds of discounts right now.""It seems like retailers are kind of veering away from using the Memorial Day language. I've seen a lot of sales this year that are being branded as like 'Summer Kickoff Sale.
"It pays to look at the product pages and see what they're calling the before price. Amazon likes to do this too, especially around big holidays. It'll say that you know this is the list price, but they never charge the list price. So, the discount will seem better than it is just because it's being taken off of that list price," says Ramhold.
As for what not to buy, Ramhold says Back to School electronics like laptops and other summer items will usually have better discounts on the 4th of July.
