When does the Presidents’ Day sale start?
It depends, but many retailers start sales before the actual holidays. “Presidents’ Day sales usually begin the Friday before the Presidents’ Day holiday,” says Bodge. “However, some retailers will start sales a day or two earlier in an effort to create a competitive edge.”
Stay alert even earlier, just in case. “Some retailers may even start sales a week or more before the holidays,” Michelle Madhok, online shopping expert and founder of deals site Shefinds.com, tells Yahoo Life. “It’s also common for sales to continue through the following week after the holidays. So you can expect to see sales starting in mid-February and continuing through the end of the month.”
What are the best types of deals for Presidents’ Day 2023?
Expect a lot of good stuff in the mix. “Presidents Day weekend is typically a good time to find deals on winter clothing and outdoor clothing, as retailers look to clear out inventory to make room for spring merchandise,” Madhok says. “Plus, many retailers are offering sales on furniture, appliances, and mattresses. It’s also a good time to find deals on electronics and automobiles because new models are being announced at shows around this time, so older models have to go.”
What items should you wait to buy next?
If you find a great deal, you should definitely jump on it. “If you need a tech item, like a smartphone or laptop, it’s definitely worth looking for a deal,” says Bodge. “But you’re more likely to save in this category in July during the Amazon Prime Day/Black Friday in July sale.” He also advises you to “keep the spring attire at bay.”
How to buy the sale
Experts recommend doing the following to ensure you get the best deals this Presidents’ Day weekend:
-
Do your research: “Before the sales start, research the items you’re interested in buying and compare prices from different retailers. This will give you a better idea of what a good deal looks like,” she says.
-
Make a list: If you know what you want to buy, make a list of the items you are looking to buy and stick to it. “This will help you avoid impulse buys and overspending,” says Madhok.
-
Check the return policy: “Make sure you understand the store’s return policy before making a purchase, in case you change your mind or the item doesn’t meet your expectations,” says Madhok.
-
Use coupons and promotional codes: Some retailers may allow you to use coupons and promotional codes in addition to discounted prices.
-
Compare prices: “Compare the prices of the same product from different retailers, online and offline, to get the best deal possible,” says Madhok.
-
Sign up for emails: Do you have a reseller you love? Join their mailing list. This, Bodge says, will help you “be aware of the sales they’ve planned.”
-
Don’t wait too long: Fast thinking is important. “Popular items sell out quickly during sales, so don’t wait too long to make a purchase if you see something you want,” says Madhok.
