Memorial Day is typically a great time to save on big-ticket items like mattresses, patio furniture, major appliances and TVs. In recent years we’ve also seen more and more sales cropping up from fashion and beauty brands. Think of the holiday weekend as sort of a mini Black Friday where you can find deals across nearly all product categories.
