Best Columbus Day Sales for 2019
Need an excuse to shop before the holiday season kicks off or hoping to cross some gifts of your list early? Columbus Day falls on Monday, and there are plenty of sales to shop over the long weekend.
Columbus Day may not have as many deals as other three-day shopping weekends such as Memorial Day and Labor Day. And few stores explicitly label their sales as Columbus Day sales. However, retailers still throw sales over the long weekend, with deals on clothing, beauty, tech and home goods.
Here is a roundup of the stores offering the best Columbus Day sales for 2019:
-- 23andMe.
-- Academy Sports + Outdoors.
-- Bloomingdale's.
-- Ashley HomeStore.
-- Home Depot.
-- Bass Pro Shops.
-- Macy's.
-- Behr Paint.
-- Target.
-- Nest Bedding.
-- Famous Footwear.
-- White House Black Market.
-- Fleet Farm.
-- Lowe's.
Remember that if you can wait until Black Friday, it's a much better time to shop for computers, TVs, phones and other tech. During Columbus Day weekend, concentrate on fashion, beauty and home goods.
