WINTER APPAREL
Presidents Day weekend means big department-store sales. Couple that with winter coming to an end and warm clothing can be snapped up for a song. Shoppers will find loads of deals on coats, outerwear, gloves, scarves, hats, and sweaters. Cold-weather accessories are especially good buys, because styles don’t change much from year to year.
MATTRESSES
February is an excellent month to go mattress shopping. Like Labor Day and Memorial Day — also three-day holiday weekends, President’s Day offers a great opportunity to jump on mattress deals.
