Like it or not, you will probably spend some time this Memorial Day weekend in a big box store, or at the mall, or squinting at your computer screen while you look for bargains.
So we thought we would share some Memorial Day shopping do’s and don’ts, as presented by US News.com. Here are the bullets:
- Do: Research
- Don’t: Forget the basics: (bring the flyer or coupon with you, etc.)
- Do: Buy appliances
- Don’t: Buy summer essentials (Wait until AFTER the holiday)
- Do: Find free shipping
- Don’t: Get scammed (Memorial Day scams often target military or their families)
There are many more details at the original piece, so check it out!
US News also has another piece, “7 Memorial Day Sales You Won’t Want to Miss“, so check that out, too!
Somewhere in this piece (okay, now) I feel obligated to say that Memorial Day is not about buying a new refrigerator. I mean, a refrigerator IS one of your best deals this weekend, don’t get me wrong! Just try to remember those who paid the ultimate price. Here is a good place to learn more about Memorial Day.
