Memorial Day is an important day, a moment to recognize the fallen members of our military. But it’s also a time many of us head outside to do work around the house and, even better, make some memories with friends and family. We hope you’ll do more of the latter than the former this holiday, but if home improvement and shopping are on you to-do list, take advantage of the deals at retailers nationwide.
Lowe’s is offering 20 percent off on Samsung appliances and 10 percent off other major appliances. A Char-Broil Commercial series grill that scored highly in our latest review of gas grills is on sale as are Valspar paints. Active-duty and retired military personnel also get a 10 percent discount.
Home Depot is matching Lowe’s 10 percent discount on major appliances as well as the 10 percent discount for members of the military. Home Depot has also cut prices on grills—use our free buyer’s guide to grills—and several models of Toro yard equipment that have excelled in our tests of lawn mowers and tractors, power blowers, and string trimmers. Highly rated Behr and Glidden paints are also on sale and a hot topic on our paints and stains forum.
Ace Hardware i offering a $5 mail-in rebate is available for Royal Mythic Paint, one of two paints we’ve reviewed with a new green certification. Ace has deals on grills, including many Webers and on a few of our top-rated small appliances like coffeemakers and slow cookers.
Walmart has Black & Decker lawn and yard equipment on sale, including some of our recommended cordless electric lawn mowers and the Weed Eater One compact rear-engine riding mower. The price of the CR Best Buy Uniflame GBC1059WB grill has been rolled back from $250 to $220.
Target’s sales are concentrated on patio furniture and the retailer has a good selection of Weber grills.
Essential information: If you need to choose or use a gas grill over the holiday, check out a replay of our recent Facebook video chat.
I thought we'd spend our holiday weekend using a rented chipper/shredder to work down the ginormous brush pile we've accumulated in our backyard...but, oops, they are really expensive to rent! There are a few low-priced electric models. I wish I had *any* idea which ones would work fairly well. Considering what an ecological win it is for homeowners to make their own mulch rather than pay to have their yard waste hauled away, it seems like a great subject for Consumer Reports to take on. :^)
Within the last 3 days I purchased 3 gallons of BEHR Premium Wood stain advertised with a $ 5.00 Mail-in refund per 5 gallon can. Only on request' was I given the mail in cupons, but not told about the deadline, or how to meet the dead-line. As a retieree I could use the $15.00 due to me and hope that you honor my belated internet request. Frank X. Haslach. Thank You
