Memorial Day Weekend 2013 Sales
Here are the best Memorial Day sales, discounts and bargains leading up to the MDW weekend and on Monday, May 27, 2013. Reuters

While Memorial Day is a time to commemorate all those who have fallen while serving in the United States Armed Forces – as well as a day off from work and school to have a summer-kickoff barbecue – it's also a big day for retail sales.

Many clothing retailers will offer discounts of 50 percent or more, even on already discounted items. Along with clothing and home goods, outdoor supplies such as patio furniture, lawn equipment and grilling items will be on sale as we head into the summer season.

Remember: If you're shopping the Memorial Day Weekend sales online, be sure to check for coupons and special offer codes, as many retailers offer additional savings hidden within their website. And always check for free or reduced shipping on the retailer's main page.

So, grab your wallets and eco-friendly shopping bags! Here are some of the best places, online and in-store, to snag a great deal during Memorial Day Weekend 2013.
