memorial Day sale 2021: What to ask in calculator, video mettlesome, 4K TV, and More flock

It seems hard to believe but summer is almost here. The unofficial kick-off traditionally falls over the Memorial Day weekend, and it's also the first major sales event of the year. It's kind of a weird pairing, but if you've been holding off on a new TV or replacing your PC, hold off just a little bit longer because Memorial Day sales have traditionally been a great time to save. If you're looking to upgrade your bed, Memorial Day mattress sales are always solid and this year looks to be no exception. Memorial Day PC and Laptop Sales Here's what we're expecting for Memorial Day sales in 2021.When it comes to Memorial Day sales, Dell has been delivering awesome sales each Memorial Day weekend since forever. OK, that's an exaggeration, since Dell clearly hasn't existed since the dawn of time. That's silly. But the point is, Dell's Memorial Day deals are reliable and there's no reason to think this year won't be the same. Since the start of 2021, Dell has had a steady stream of the best PC and laptop deals , as well as deals on monitors and other accessories. Expect that stream to become a firehose of savings once Memorial Day hits.Other retailers, like Best Buy and Amazon, will also likely feature Memorial Day sales on PCs and laptops, and Newegg, too, has a good track record of dropping prices ahead of the summer. If you've been trying to get your hands on an RTX 30-series graphics card, you know how heartbreaking it's been. The best way to get a new graphics card so far has been to buy a prebuilt gaming PC, and in many cases, the price is lower than it would be if you tried to build it yourself thanks to a vastly inflated secondary-market for GPUs. We've already seen discounts on 30-series equipped gaming PCs ahead of Memorial Day, so keep an eye out for even more savings once the sales kick off.

If you haven't upgraded your TV to 4K just yet, hold off for a bit because there are bound to be sales on 4K UHD TVs for Memorial Day. I'd bet at least $5 on Best Buy in particular running a whole slew of 4K TVs down its Memorial Day sales promotions. The nice thing about Best Buy is you can buy online and in many cases, pick up at your nearest store. If you're impatient, like me, that's a real nice perk. Walmart also offers the same convenience, and while they tend to focus more on traditional summer gear like barbecues and pool noodles, keep an eye on them for 4K TV savings, too.Amazon doesn't normally run a special Memorial Day sales event on its offerings of 4K TVs, but keep an eye out for price matching if you'd prefer to order through your Prime account.Video game sales don't seem to have much of a presence on Memorial Day, but that doesn't mean we're not going to see lots of chances to save anyway. GameStop in particular is a good retailer to keep an eye on for video game Memorial Day sales. Similar to 4K TVs, Amazon will usually price match whatever savings GameStop has, but I'm going to say GameStop's Memorial Day offerings will probably be more inline with Buy 1, Get 1 or some variation on that theme. The best place to save money at GameStop is on pre-owned games and hardware, and that's often where you'll find the best sales and deals. Best Buy and Walmart will most likely discount games for Memorial Day sales, as well.For whatever reason, Memorial Day is a great time to save on a new mattress . I'm seriously considering upgrading because the idea of a comfortable night's sleep is so foreign and appealing to me, but I'm holding off until the long weekend to maximize my chances to spend less money. If you also want to save on a new mattress, the good news is lots of online vendors run sales specifically tailored around the Memorial Day weekend. And the even better news is we'll put the best of them into their own article once Memorial Day sales actually do start going live.It's tricky to predict what's going to happen with 100% certainty in any situation, but I feel pretty safe expecting sales on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray, furniture like desks and gaming chairs, plenty of random things you didn't know you wanted to save on, and lots and lots of grilling equipment. Since you probably don't care about deal alerts on spatulas, keep an eye on IGNDeals on Twitter for up to the minute Memorial Day deals (and a million other chances to save, too), and this article will be in a continuous state of flux, with updates happening as sales start to go live.
