Tips to make the most of Memorial Day deals

Memorial Day is not only a date to commemorate the heroes who served our country, but also one of the best opportunities of the year to save big. With so many promotions circulating, it's critical to have a clear shopping strategy.

Here are some key tips to help you make the most of every penny this sale season:

Plan ahead

Before you hit the stores (physical or online), take inventory of what you really need. Do you need patio furniture? Do you need to update your appliances? Are you looking to get a head start on school or summer shopping?

Making a prioritized list of products helps you avoid impulse purchases and focus on the best opportunities. It's also helpful to research regular prices beforehand so you can identify true discounts.

Compare prices across stores and platforms

Don't go with the first offer you see. Many times, different retailers offer the same product with slight variations in price, shipping conditions or additional benefits such as extended warranties. Use online price comparators or manually check sites like Costco, Kmart, Boscov's and other department stores. This can mean savings of $10, $50 or even more depending on the product.

Shop online and sign up for newsletters

Many stores offer exclusive online discounts, digital coupons or promotional codes that are not available in physical stores. Plus, if you sign up for your favorite stores' newsletters, you could receive early bird offers or additional discounts for being a subscriber.
