Don’t just buy another tech thing this Memorial Day weekend. Go get yourself a replica of Aladdin’s Magic Carpet for $29.99.
Since most major retailers are offering some kind of sale this weekend, you should also take a minute to figure out who’s offering the best deal on whatever you hope to buy. BlackFriday.com has a huge list of Memorial Day deals—seriously, it’s so long it has a table of contents—highlighting discounts on everything from mattresses to tech to outdoor gear.
If I were planning a big shopping trip this Memorial Day weekend, I’d be most interested in the Tempur-Sealy Memorial Day Sale, where you can save up to $700 on select mattress sets. I don’t need a new mattress at the moment, but I love my Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud pillow—and if you have a different favorite mattress brand, one that doesn’t include “pressure-relieving material originally developed by NASA to absorb the G-Forces of astronauts traveling to space,” it’s probably offering a few hundred bucks off its mattresses too.
I’d also be eyeing some of the tech deals listed at ZDNet. I have a perfectly good smartwatch on my wrist right now, but knowing I could get $80 off an Apple Watch Series 3 (that’s one of the watches that lets you make phone calls, if you find yourself in a situation where you have to make a phone call) makes me wonder if my wristwear could be a little bit smarter.
If you’re jumping on the Aladdin live-action nostalgia train this weekend, you should probably know that ThinkGeek is offering 57% off its Aladdin Magic Carpet rug—as well as significant discounts on other pop culture merchandise. The Carpet replica is currently retailing at $29.99, which is probably less than what you’ll pay to see the movie.
CNET suggests checking out the Best Buy Memorial Day Sale, which includes a ton of discounts on printers but no discounts on printer ink, because that’s how they get you. (To be fair, select printers come with a $5 HP Instant Ink card.) You’ll also find discounts on TVs, video games, appliances, drones, and more.
Plus, CNET let me know that I could use the code MEMORIALDAY to get $150 off the FightCamp “full-studio boxing gym in your home,” which is one of those deals where you stream an exercise class while wearing/punching a bunch of smart gear that tracks your movements and helps you optimize your performance.
As a person who still remembers when we had to pretend a Wiimote and a Wii nunchuck were boxing gloves, let me tell you... I was tempted.
If you’re equally tempted—and you actually end up buying it—let us know.
