The discounts during Memorial Day weekend aren’t usually as good as July 4 or Labor Day, but the selection is better. You’ll still find a swimsuit in your size and patio furniture sets with four or six chairs instead of three or five. Here’s a start of some of the better sales. I’ll keep adding as I discover more.

Ikea’s Seize the Days sales are excellent bargains. Remember when Ikea hardly ever had a sale? Now they’re monthly. Different bargains occur Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Go early because they usually sell out by afternoon. Nab your selection when the store opens and then go for the free breakfast offered each day while supplies last. Saturday’s deal is the iconic Poang chair for $39 (reg. $90), Sunday’s deal is a 2-pack of Ritva curtains and tiebacks in five color options for $10 (reg. $30). Monday’s deal is he Beddinge Lovas sofa-bed for $149 (reg. $249). The Expedit bookcase is on sale all three days for $49 (reg. $90).

Arc’s Value Village, Unique Thrift and Savers all discount everything 50 percent Monday.

 If you’re traveling and heading by an outlet mall, it’s usually pretty good one-stop shopping during a holiday weekend. You might want to stop at the mall office for coupons or join the mall’s VIP club online for exclusive coupons. Me, I usually check the clearance at the back of the outlets before checking out the regular outlet merchandise.

 Stay safe. Let me know of other good deals this holiday weekend that you discover.   Â
