Memorial day weekend brings the best sales between Presidents Day and 4th of July. Here are the best things to buy for big savings.

Memorial Day is, of course, a time to honor America's fallen soldiers. It's also the unofficial start of summer, even if the solstice is still a few weeks away. As always, the Buy Side staff is busy finding the best deals for you to shop and save this holiday.

Another main draw is the renowned Best Buy Memorial Day appliances sale, which offers up to 50% off major appliances and extra reductions of up to $300 off select bundles. It's easily one of the better times of the year to buy a new refrigerator, washer, dryer, oven or dishwasher for less.
