The three day Memorial Day weekend is one that many people think of as the unofficial start of Summer. This is the weekend to decorate the graves of soldiers with American flags, as a way to honor them, and to recognize them for serving their country. For people who love to shop, Memorial Day weekend is the time when a lot of stores have awesome sales. Here is a quick list of where to find the deals this Memorial Day weekend.
Memorial Day is one of the holiday weekends when stores have big sales. Since Memorial Day itself will officially be celebrated on a Monday, that means that the sales could start as early as the Thursday or Friday before. The sales always extend right through the weekend, continue on Memorial Day, and end the day after. This year, 2011, there are a lot of sales going on.
