Presidents’ Day isn’t just about honoring past U.S. leaders—it’s also a golden ticket for deal hunters! Celebrated on the third Monday of February (next week!), retailers use this holiday to clear out old stock before the new season’s inventory arrives. That means you can find deep discounts on all kinds of products—electronics, home goods, apparel, toys—you name it! But some deals are duds, so keep reading and we’ll show you how to spot the real winners!
Best Places to Snag Presidents Day Deals
To find products with the best margins, you need to shop at the right places. Here’s where you should be looking:

- Target: Big discounts on toys, small appliances and kitchenware.
- Best Buy: Clearance prices on gadgets and tech accessories.
- Kohl’s: Savings on clothing, footwear and home goods (bonus tip: Kohl’s Cash! It works like a coupon that customers earn when they make purchases during special promotional periods).
