It is that time again. The long weekend. You have two choices: stay indoors or burn off cash on things you don’t need but absolutely want.
Memorial Day isn’t just a historical marker anymore. It’s a retail holiday. Prices are dropping. Stocks are low. Act fast if you actually want to grab a deal before someone else does.
Headphones, Batteries, and Bird Watchers
If your AirPods sound like tin cans. Or if you just can’t stand charging your laptop three times a day. Check the sales now. We have a list of headphones and power banks that are actually worth buying.
Want to give your mom something weird? Bird watchers are in. Smart feeders. They have cameras. You can watch the bluejays without leaving the couch. Prices on the WIRED-approved models are at rock bottom right now. Plus. There is a coupon code. It works. Do you really want to look at squirrels on 4K video? I did.
The smart feeder market is niche. The savings are not.
B&H, Bose, and Big Savings
Bose is slashing prices. Forty percent off. That applies to speakers, headphones, even those soundbars you keep staring at on your shelf. It’s a rare move. Grab it while the window is open.
B&H Photo has promo codes too. Cameras. Computers. Tech essentials. It’s a big retailer. Their discounts can stack. Just read the fine print. Usually you have to.
Need a jacket? Columbia has a code. Fifteen percent off. Plus free shipping sometimes. If you’re going hiking, or just trying to look rugged on a Tuesday night, this works.
Outdoor Gear and Pool Robots
Summer is coming. If you own a pool. Clean it. Or let a robot do it. The machines that scrub walls and skim the surface are on sale. Don’t spend your Friday night siphoning leaves. Spend it drinking something cold instead.
REI is celebrating an anniversary. This means tents. Sleeping bags. Gadgets you don’t know you need until you’re cold. It is arguably the best sale of the year for outdoor gear. Go to their site. Look at the tents. Feel rich.
Sportsman’s Warehouse has coupons for May. Hunting gear. Camping supplies. Boating stuff. It depends on how you like your outdoors. Use the codes. Maximize the savings. It’s just math.
Newegg is tossing out coupons for the whole order. Up to ten percent. Gaming PCs. Laptops. Random computer parts you saw on YouTube last week.
The Mattress Trap
Here is the hard truth. You might want to upgrade your sleep. Memorial Day is the best time to buy a bed. The models we like are cheaper now than any other month.
Sleep is expensive. But a discount makes it sting less.
Invest in sleep. It pays dividends.
Wrap It Up
Or don’t.
The deals expire. The summer heat doesn’t. Choose what to buy. Choose what to leave behind.
