Memorial Day Deals Offer Deep Discounts On Big Ticket Items

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – For bargain shoppers, this may be the week to score some major deals.

Memorial Day sales are starting this week and you will find deep discounts on big ticket items.

We've seen the trend with Black Friday sales, as they are happening earlier and earlier.

The same goes for Memorial Day sales, which are already underway.

"It's a great advantage for shoppers to take advantage of early sales so they can spend the holiday with their families," Brent Shelton of FatWallet.com said.

The folks at FatWallet.com say big ticket items are seeing big discounts.

"This is one of the best times of year, if not the best, to buy mattresses and bedroom sets," Shelton said.

Home appliances are seeing deep discounts from 20 to 50 percent for things like refrigerators and stoves.

To compare prices, FatWallet.com breaks it down for you. You can check out thousands of coupons, and discounts at over 1,600 retailers including eBay, Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon.

You can also find great deals right now on yard and garden products, and plenty of summer travel deals are available too.

Consumers should also be asking about free delivery and haul away. If the store is not offering it, there is another store that probably is.
