Memorial Day shoppers can save hundreds on planned home purchases, with Good Housekeeping highlighting mattresses, grills, power washers and summer essentials as the strongest current deals.
Brie Schwartz said mattress discounts are especially steep — including 20% off at Saatva — while smaller buys such as cooling sheets, silk pillowcases, sunscreen and skincare also offer worthwhile savings.
Tech purchases including laptops and TVs are better delayed, she said, because deeper discounts are likely around Prime Day in June.
To avoid impulse spending, Schwartz recommends researching prices in advance, using wish lists and trackers such as CamelCamelCamel, checking Amazon price history, and reviewing return policies because some sale items are final sale.
