Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors the men and women who died serving in the United States military. It's also the unofficial start to summer, which means retailers will offer huge discounts on outdoor items, including patio furniture, grills, lawnmowers, and gardening tools. You'll also find clearance prices on big-ticket items, including major appliances, mattresses, and furniture, as well as tech deals on TVs, laptops, Apple devices, and headphones.
