What to buy — and skip — during Memorial Day sales
Good Housekeeping says shoppers can save hundreds on grills and power washers, while many smaller discounts are only $5 to $10.
Memorial Day weekend offers significant savings on major purchases like grills and power washers, according to Good Housekeeping Editorial Commerce Director Brie Schwartz.
The National Consumer Unit consulted Good Housekeeping to identify which holiday sales offer genuine value; experts track retail discounts to separate worthwhile deals from marketing hype.
Brands like Saatva are offering 20% off, while smaller savings appear on Beauty essentials including sunscreen and silk pillowcases, where discounts total only five to ten dollars.
Schwartz cautions that certain items will likely see deeper discounts during Prime Day, which rolls around this June, earlier this year than shoppers might expect.
To avoid impulse purchases during major sales weekends, experts recommend creating a plan before browsing and using wish lists and price-tracking tools to monitor discounts over time.
