With summer right around the corner, we have a lot to look forward to, including beach days, vacation and Memorial Day sales. If you’ve been thinking of sprucing up your home decor or replacing worn-out pieces with new furniture, there’s never been a better time than Memorial Day.
While we're still a few weeks away from the cherished holiday, many stores are already slashing prices, so you can start preparing for a memorable summer. From bedroom sets to patio furniture to sofas, here are 12 Memorial Day furniture sales worth checking out.
Memorial Day is always held on the last Monday of the month, which falls on May 30, 2022. This U.S. federal holiday honors and remembers personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces.
Since Memorial Day is considered the unofficial start of summer, sales usually focus on the home, whether that’s inside or outside. Many people have time off from their jobs or school during the summer, making it an ideal time to finish projects or decorate the house. So, Memorial Day sales are one of the best times of the year to buy furniture, including mattresses, outdoor patio sets, living room seating and more. You can also find deep discounts on appliances, grills and tools.
Be prepared
When you’re trying to get the best deals, there’s no such thing as being too prepared. First, start by making a list of everything you need, and make a note of those few pieces that would be nice to have. It’s also helpful to write down the retail price and current price for each item to compare when you come across a new sale.
Shop early
While Memorial Day isn’t until the end of May, many stores are already offering deep discounts. Since there’s no way to predict whether something will be discounted further, you may want to buy your item when you see a good sale. This will also ensure that it won’t sell out.
Compare prices
Many stores offer the same furniture piece, all at varying prices. To ensure you’re getting the best deal, make a list of every store that offers your item, and compare prices throughout the week.
Sign up for deal alerts
Once you know what pieces you want and what stores carry that item, sign up to be alerted of any new deals ahead of time. Plus, some stores offer a deeper discount in their newsletter than in stores.
Shopping for furniture online has many challenges. For example, while it’s convenient to buy a new mattress from the comfort of your living room, you won’t know if it’s as firm or soft as you prefer. Or maybe the color is slightly darker online than it is in person. Here are a few tips that will help you be confident when shopping for furniture online.
