Memorial Day Weekend is around the corner, and that means some of the best shopping opportunities all year. As you get ready for summer, make sure to plan out what you need to stock up on and which areas of your closet could use a refresher so you can take advantage of the deep discounts.

While Memorial Day discounts are offered on items across the board, clothing is one of the best areas to spend before the summer begins. Many favorite stores began their Memorial Day sales during the week leading up to the holiday itself, and some will continue to offer special prices well beyond May 31. Even if you’re planning to spend the long weekend away from home or outdoors kicking off barbecue season, most of these discounts work both in stores and online, so no one has to miss out on the fun.
