LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Memorial Day is coming up and the sales are already underway! What are you planning on buying?

Even though inflation is down a bit this year, most of us could still use a deal!

The government's latest consumer price index shows overall prices up 3.4% in April 2024, down from 5% a year ago - but still though on family budgets.

Dealnews.com said this week is a great time to buy:

  • Furniture
  • Mattresses
  • Small and large kitchen appliances
  • Springtime fashion
  • Grills and patio sets

Some things are not seeing great markdowns this Memorial Day, so it's best to wait laptops, MacBooks, tablets, and Amazon devices like Ring Doorbells and Amazon Alexa devices.

Those have the best sales on Amazon Prime day or back to school sales.

So if you need electronics, it's best to wait a few more weeks, that way you don't waste your money.
