Memorial Day 2019 Sales Around South Orange

The long Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching. The holiday, created 151 years ago by former Union general John Alexander Logan, is dedicated to remembering soldiers who gave their lives to defend and serve their country. It’s celebrated with parade floats, sparklers, pool parties, cookouts, loud music and other festivities.

And Memorial Day sales.

It’s a great time for savvy shoppers to score some great deals on everything from patio furniture to mattresses to footwear.

This year, major national retailers are also planning great sales. This includes Target, Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Amazon, The Home Depot and Lowe’s. Target shoppers will find sales of up to 30 percent off patio and home furniture while Walmart is offering up to 40 percent off online products ranking from pools to swing sets to electronics. Dick’s, meanwhile, is offering $10 off for every $50 spent, up to $30 off. Home Depot consumers will find sales of up to 40 percent off on certain ovens, refrigerators, washing machines and patio furniture.
