Move over, Black Friday! Presidents' Day weekend is here, and the sales are set to be just as good聽(or better!) than their Black Friday equivalents. So聽how should you prepare for this weekend shopping bonanza?聽Here are our tips for聽scoring (and saving) big during聽Presidents Day sales.

1. Shop Early

Like Black Friday sales, most Presidents' Day deals start early--in fact,聽many sales are already going on right now! If you want to make sure you get the best deal possible, don't wait until Monday to start shopping, or you might find what you want is out of stock.

2.聽Refresh Your Winter (and Workout) Closet

February is typically the month clothing retailers try and get rid of their winter stuff聽to make room for new spring fashions, so Presidents' Day is a good time to stock up on cold-weather clothing and footwear. We also expect to see prices slashed on workout聽clothes and shoes, so if you've been slacking on your New Years fitness resolutions due to lack of quality equipment, it's time to stop making excuses and get yourself the gear you need to succeed.聽Here are a few of our favorite sales on apparel you can shop this weekend:

  • 聽-- 聽TBD
  • 聽-- $10 off $25 or more (code ONLINE) or 20% off $100 or more (code SHOPPIN) and 30-50% off home goods through February 16.
  • 聽-- TBD
  • 聽-- 40% off select items through February 22.
  • 聽-- 20-50% off select styles, free shipping on orders over $75, and an extra 20% off with code PRES through February 16.
  • 聽-- Up to 80% off clearance items online with code CLEAR30, extra 10-15% off clothing and sleepwear with code ADORE,
  • 聽-- Up to 60% off select items, and free shipping on orders of $49 or more.
  • 聽-- Markdowns on home goods, auto & tires, electronics, sporting goods, clothing and more!

3. Furniture Sales Abound

Maybe your dining room table is wobbly, maybe聽your bed is squeaky, or聽maybe聽the dog had an irreversible accident on your living room couch. Whatever the reason, if you're in need of new furniture, this is the weekend to get it. IKEA typically has a blowout Presidents' Day sale with a free Swedish breakfast to boot,聽聽Ashley Furniture is offering聽a store-wide 20 percent off or no interest until January 2020, and聽! If you're in need of office furniture or supplies, both Staples and OfficeMax/Office Depot usually boast big discounts on Presidents' Day too.

4.聽Expect Doorbusters on High-End Electronics

"February is a great time for higher-end electronics," said Brad's Deals outreach coordinator, Sean Graw. "It's kind of the opposite of Black Friday, where you see a lot of doorbusters on low-end electronics, but not much of a discount on the good stuff." If you're in the market for a brand name HDTV, laptop, smartphone, or even a new appliance,聽start shopping now.

Electronics retailer聽听颈蝉听聽through February 21, and in聽addition to that,聽usually has across-the-board discounts, and聽.

Make sure you check out聽聽for lower prices before you buy anything, and don't forget to take advantage of price-match policies!
