The Best Memorial Day Sales on Tech Furniture and Appliances Actually Worth Shopping This Year

Believe it or not, this weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer. And, despite all the weirdness and all the challenges of the season, the best Memorial Day sales have arrived, like clockwork, to provide some semblance of normalcy and some good deals to boot. Backyard barbecues might be cancelled, but the backyard barbecue sales are still going strong. Here are all of the furniture, kitchen, and tech sales that are actually worth your valuable (if presently unlimited) screen time. If you're looking for Memorial Day sales on menswear, watches, and sneakers, we've certainly got you covered there as well. And if you're in the market for a new mattress, there are plenty of good deals popping up there too.
