Home Depot is enticing people to "renew and redo your bath for less," Sears has knocked 30 percent off the price of Kenmore appliances and hhgregg promises sales on "everything $99 and up." This is how we celebrate our presidents? Apparently so.
Coming on the third Monday of February, Presidents' Day has become as famous for deals as it has for George and Abe. (Check the weekend car deals.) And with warmer weather in the offing, it's a good time to plan ahead for spring. We took a look at retailer websites and circulars and found sales on some appliances and other products that have done well in our tests.
