Memorial Day Deals and Freebies 2017

By Leave a Comment

memorial day deals and freebies

If you are in need of certain items, Memorial Day can be the perfect time to take advantage of some great deals. Most retail stores will be open for the holiday hoping to get your business. But what are those Memorial Day deals and freebies? While you should avoid splurging on useless items, the following are a few things that you might consider purchasing over the Memorial Day weekend if they happen to be on your list.

Memorial Day Deals and Freebies

Spring Clothing

Probably the best deals that can be found over the Memorial Day weekend sales are for spring clothing. The spring clothes have been in the stores for a few months, and the summer clothing lines are beginning to come in. That means that the stores need to move out all their spring inventory to make way for the summer clothes. Many of the spring clothes will be discounted 50% or more. Add in Memorial Day sales, where it’s possible to find Groupon coupons taking off an additional 10% to 40% of the already discounted prices, and this weekend is a great time to get all your spring clothing for next year. Expect some especially hot deals from the following:

  • Old Navy: Take advantage of Old Navy’s Summer Kick-off Sale, where you can find 50% off tees, 40% off tanks and swimwear, and 30% off all shorts.
  • Banana Republic: Get up to 40% off your order with the code BRMORE when checking out online.
  • Vera Bradley: Vera Bradley is offering 25% off travel items including backpacks and 30% off select patterns and styles, both online and in stores.
  • Eddie Bauer: Receive 40% off your entire purchase when you enter the code FIR at eddiebauer.com.
  • Accompany: Enjoy free shipping on all orders $150 or more from their wide selection of women’s, men’s and children’s apparel.

Home Goods

May is a great month to buy items for the home in general, and if you add in the discount coupons which are usually available for Memorial Day deals and freebies, you can get some fantastic discounts. Many items in the housewares category will already be marked down as much as 30% or more at places such as Target and Sears. If you can find a weekend sale coupon, you can add that on top of the discounted price to save even more. Here are some other deals you won’t want to miss:

  • Overstock.com: According to their website, Overstock is hosting their biggest Memorial Day sale yet. Take an extra 10%, 15%, and 20% off various items including but not limited to furniture, area rugs, home decor and more.
  • Pottery Barn: Save up to 40% on sectionals and sofas.
  • Home Depot: Home Depot is holding a store-wide sale for Memorial Day Weekend. Save up to 40% on appliances as well as 30% off patio furniture.
  • Lowe’s: Lowe’s Memorial Day sale also includes up to 40% off select appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and more.

Barbecue Grills

This isn’t the best time to buy barbecue grills because they will be discounted even more at the end of summer when the stores will want to get rid of their inventory. That being said, if you’re planning to do a lot of grilling this year, and you need to replace your old grill because it’s not going to last this summer, the Memorial Day sales will be your best opportunity to get one at a good price. Stores will discount some to drive traffic to the stores, so with a bit of work and price comparison, you should be able to find a decent deal. Here are just a few places you might be able to find some grill gear discounts:

  • Home Depot: Take up to 15% off grills and smokers.
  • Lowe’s: Save up to $50 on select grills and smokers for Memorial Day.
  • Sears: Sears is offering up to 30% off grills and outdoor cooking gear, plus an extra 10% off online with the code 10SEARS.
  • Camping World: Enjoy up to 40% off grills and accessories from Camping World as part of their 13th Annual Grill Fest.

Camping and Outdoor Gear

Much like with barbecue grills, the best time to buy camping and outdoor gear will be at the end of the summer season when stores will be liquidating all their overstock. If, however, there is camping or outdoor gear that you absolutely need to get to use this coming summer, you’re likely to find the best deals during the Memorial Day sales. The discounts on these items will be limited, but if you do your homework, shop the sales, and look for coupons to stack on top of those, then you should be able to find a decent deal on these items. Still, be sure that you can’t get by without buying it until the end of summer, as this will be the time to get the best deal. Check these out:

  • DICK’s Sporting Goods: DICK’s is hosting a variety of sales for Memorial Day, such as 50% off select apparel, 40% off select footwear, up to $130 off certain kayaks and SUP boards, and more.
  • Camping World: You’ll also be able to purchase discounted camping items from Camping World. For instance, the Colman Citronella Lantern is currently 62% off, an open fire grill is 38% off, and you can buy discounted insect screens for your tent also at a discounted rate.
  • Home Depot: If you need a new lawn mower, Home Depot has sales on both push and rider mowers, ranging from $50-$100 off. Some even include free shipping.

Cars

The best time to buy a car is when the new season models are coming out, or at the end of the year. If you need to purchase a new car before the end of the year, the Memorial Day sales (which can last until the end of the month, and even into June) can be a good time to do it. The weather has usually improved across the US and car dealerships are eager to get people into their showrooms. To entice people to their showrooms, many car dealerships will be offering good discounts for the holiday. According to CarsDirect.com, some deals to keep an eye out for include but are not limited to:

  • Chevrolet: Get 20% off the sticker price from select Malibus and 10% off all Corvettes.
  • Volkswagon: Volkswagon is offering a $1,500 holiday bonus on any Jetta model plus 0.9% annual percentage rate (APR) for 72 months.
  • Kia: Pay nothing for five months plus 0% APR for 66 months on the 2017 Forte, Optima, Soul, and Sorento.
  • Volvo: Lease a 2017 S60 T5 Inscription from just $385 for 36 months with nothing due at signing with your first payment waived.

The key to remember here is that you don’t want to be upsold extras that you don’t need as well as review all terms included with your deal. There will be good discounts on the base models to drive you into the showroom, but the salespeople will try to get you to buy upgrades to make their money.

Freebies

Because this is a holiday honoring those who died while serving in the military, there are several Memorial Day deals and freebies exclusively for men and women both active and retired in the military over Memorial Day Weekend. If you are in Washington, D.C. over the three-day weekend, you’ll find several free events in and around the area for the cause. Not to mention, the following are other activities or items members of the military can enjoy at no charge:

  • National Parks: The National Parks actually provide free annual land passes year-round for current U.S. military members and dependents. Make sure you have your Common Access Card (CAC) or your military ID. Visit their website for more details.
  • Hooters: If you’re a veteran or active member of the military, get a free entree from Hooters on Monday, May 29 simply by presenting a valid military ID at participating locations throughout the nation. See the full news release here.
  • McCormick and Schmick’s Seafood and Steaks: McCormick and Schmick’s will honor those who served in the U.S. military with complimentary lunch or dinner meals on Monday to veterans, individuals currently serving in the military and National Guard, and Gold Star honorees (parents and spouse).

If you know of any Memorial Day deals and freebies, feel free to mention them in the comments below or in our forums. Thank you to all those who have served or are serving in the military!

Retail Stores Open and Closed on Memorial Day 2015

Stores open and closed on Memorial Day
Even though Memorial Day has nothing to do with shopping, it has become a major sales event for retail outlets. Stores are blanketing the TV with ads promoting their Memorial Day sales in an attempt to drive traffic to their stores for the beginning of the summer shopping season. The confusion of whether or not stores are open or closed occurs because even though Memorial Day is a federal holiday when all federal employees get the day off, it’s not a national holiday where everybody gets the day off work. This means that each individual retailer gets to decide whether or not to close for the day. While the vast majority of them remain open, not all of them do. Below you will find a list of stores that will be open and closed for Memorial Day on Monday, May 25, 2015.

Costco

Costco is closed Memorial Day. Costco is the one major retailer which closes for more federal holidays than most. Memorial Day is one of the seven days Costco closes to allow their employees the chance to observe Memorial Day with their families and friends. For those who are planning to stack up on supplies for the long weekend, it’s important to note that Costco will be closed to observe Memorial Day.

By 5 Comments

Is Costco open on Memorial Day
If you go solely by the advertisements on TV, you would think Memorial Day was an occasion to celebrate shopping and consumerism. While the vast majority of retailers are on TV shouting about all the great bargains they have as part of their the Memorial Day sales, Costco is one of only a few major retailers which keeps its doors closed on the holiday. As part of the Costco holiday schedule, all warehouse stores will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2015, to observe the holiday.

Costco gives employees the chance to spend time with their family and friends on a number of federal holidays when most other retailers remain open. While this is great news for those who work at Costco, it can cause confusion for those who want to shop at the retailer since most stores remain open on the holiday. Since there are a lot of people want to shop at the Costco warehouses to stock up on supplies for long weekends like the Memorial Day weekend, it’s important for them to plan ahead so they don’t find themselves at a closed warehouse on Memorial Day.


Is Costco open on Memorial Day?

No, Costco is not open on Memorial Day. There is no such thing as a Costco Memorial Day sale because the warehouse is closed for this holiday. For those who are planning to have friends and family over for the unofficial first day of summer, they need to stock up on supplies before May 25, 2015, if they want to purchase items at Costco warehouses.

While the warehouses will be closed on Monday, May 25, they will be open for business on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24 for all those who need to purchase food and other supplies for the weekend and holiday. The stores will keep their normal Saturday and Sunday hours over the weekend.

Are Costco gas stations open on Memorial Day?

No, Costco gas stations aren’t open on Memorial Day. Just like the warehouses, Costco gas stations will observe the same holiday schedule as the stores to which they are attached. While Costco gas stations often have extended hours compared to the warehouses, they do not open on holidays when the warehouses are closed. If you need to fill up you car or another vehicle with quality gas for the holiday, you will want to do it before May 25.
