MLK Day is here, and so are the MLK Day sales. While the main purpose of of the holiday is to reflect upon and honor the strides Martin Luther King Jr. made towards racial justice in America, no holiday weekend goes by without major retailers launching sales. MLK Day isn’t quite the retail bonanza that Memorial Day, Presidents Day and Labor Day have become, but this long weekend is a good opportunity to save on tech and home goods if you’re already in the market for a purchase or two.
There are already a healthy number of deals you can take advantage of, and a few products are marked down close to all-time lows and Black Friday prices. This might be fortuitous timing for you, especially if you have some holiday gift cards burning a hole in your pocket.
So whether you’re in the mood for an Apple Watch, a new laptop, a cordless vacuum, or a new mattress, there are some excellent opportunities to save some money and buy yourself something you can enjoy through all of 2024.
