Memorial Day Sales 2017: Where You Can Get The Best Deals

By Edwin Kee
Memorial Day Sale

Memorial Day is here again, and just like in previous years, there are some blockbuster deals that can be checked out to help you save a bundle. It can be seen to be the unofficial start of summer, as opposed to the release of a summer blockbuster on the silver screen. While many would also take some time out to rest from their labor, it is also a golden opportunity to take advantage of any great deals that are offered by different companies. While one might mosey over to the local mall in order to see the different sales that various shops offer, online is where all the action is at. Here are some possible online shopping avenues in which you will be able to take advantage of and save some dough in the process.

3x1
Are you on the lookout for a new pair of jeans, seeing that your current pair is torn all over the place? Why not check out what 3x1 has on offer? Between May 26 and May 29, any pair of jeans that are sold as a sale item will obtain an additional discount of 25 per cent -- top that! The only thing to do on your part would be to enter "MDW25" at checkout.

ACE Hardware
Hardware shops are the perfect place to lose yourself, and chances are you would end up walking out with something that you never knew your home or car needed in the first place. ACE Hardware offers such a form of escapism, providing discounts on paint, furniture, or even the mandatory gas grill for you to hold your famous backyard cook outs.

AJ Madison
Appliance store AJ Madison would like to spruce up your new home, or perhaps help bring a smile to your tenant by offering up to 40% off when it comes to a slew of essential home appliances. Some of these include refrigerators and dishwashers, among others. Of course, depending on the product that you purchase, some of them even come with free shipping.

Amazon
You surely cannot go wrong with Amazon, that is for sure. Amazon tends to offer sales and discounts for many items on ordinary days, so to have Memorial Day sales is another excuse to push out more of its older stock at crazy prices across different kinds of categories. Perhaps now would be a good time to be an Amazon Prime member so that you can enjoy same-day shipping just in case there are any last minute purchases that you would like to make.

Best Buy
 Best Buy is touted to offer some sizable savings when it comes to Apple products, including an Apple Watch (what better time than now to pick one up if you have longed for one of these smart timepieces all this while but was put off by its sticker price tag), Mac notebooks, and even the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Certainly all things tech would be catered to at Best Buy, but do not expect to find any bargains for highly sought after items like the now discontinued NES Classic Edition.

There are virtually tons of deals around, all that you need to do is to key in “Memorial Day sales” in Google and see which particular search result would pique your interest. Of course, different kinds of items appeal to different people, so spend your money wisely while you boost the nation’s economy in the process.

Above all, do take note of all the security measures that accompany each online purchase, in order to ensure that no one is able to steal your personal information due to an unsuspecting malware hidden on your machine. Best of all is, shopping online does away with the stress of searching for parking, driving all the way there and back, and queuing up to make your payment. Happy Memorial Day 2017!
