Presidents Day Sales Everyone Needs to Take Advantage Of

After the Christmas sales, did you know that the best time of the year to find great sales is over Presidents Day weekend? That is this weekend! So today, I am giving you the perfect excuse to buy some of those big-budget items you didn’t get under the Christmas tree.

Electronics

Presidents Day Weekend is known for offering big sales on electronics, including computers, televisions, Apple watches, and AirPods.

Appliances

Likewise, Presidents Day Weekend offers huge discounts on home goods and furniture. Real Simple reports, “An analysis by personal finance site WalletHub found that the average discount on appliances during Black Friday, one of the top shopping days of the year, is 30 percent; this year, the Lowe’s Presidents’ Day sale is offering up to 40 percent off select kitchen appliances.” Did you get that? You can get bigger discounts over Presidents Day than Black Friday!

Mattresses

Another surprising item that should be on your list is a new mattress. According to Consumer Reports, “In February, Presidents Day weekend is your best opportunity to find a deal on a new [mattress], and these offers often start a week or so before the long weekend and may last a few days to a week after.” If you want better sleep in 2020 and it hasn’t happened yet, head to the store this weekend to test mattresses.

Furniture

If you want to start the 2020s with a home makeover, Presidents Day Weekend is THE time to buy new furniture. Real Simple explains, “Furniture discounts are highest in January and in three-day holiday weekends such as Presidents’ Day. Act on that expert suggestion and pick up a new couch, dining set, or whatever else has been missing from the house.” You can expect discounts from 25% - 40% off on furniture and other home goods, which really adds up.

Vehicles

Now, I know not many people buy vehicles on a whim. But, even if you don’t feel like spontaneously buying a new vehicle this weekend, you should keep it in mind for next year. Why? Real Car Tips explains, “If you're considering the most recent models, January and February are good months to buy […] Certain holidays offer good buying opportunities since manufacturers tend to offer special incentives. President's Day is one of the best holidays to shop for a new car. It occurs during the 3rd Monday of February, when sales are slow and inventory should be plentiful.”

Winter Wear

For those us who call New York home, we know we still have plenty of time to showcase our winter wardrobe. However, around Presidents Day, retailers start moving out the winter wear to introduce the new spring lines. This means you can stock up on winter wear (even designer goods, like winter boots) at clearance prices!

What Not to Buy This Weekend

Considering what we just discussed, as tempted as you may feel about buying all the goods for spring as they are rolled out, Presidents Day Weekend is NOT the time to shop for spring break! Resist the urge and wait for the next sale weekend to roll around. This weekend focus on the big stuff: electronics, appliances, furniture, mattresses, and winter wear.
