The final Monday of the month of May is finally here and that only means one thing: Memorial Day! This is the day the nation remembers men and women who have faithfully offered their lives to fight for the country while serving the United States Armed Forces.

While commemorating, some also take advantage of this federal holiday not only to gather with loved ones for an all-American barbecue but also to shop. 

Over the years, Memorial Day has become synonymous with the word 'SALE.' On this day, stores all over the United States offer great deals with slashed prices that make everybody go 'loco'. Especially since today is a non-working holiday, people usually make their way to shops and even online stores to get best sales on almost anything and everything that looks appealing.

According to SaleSorter co-founder, Thayer Meicler, to get the best finds, it pays to be an early shopper.

"Whenever there's a big sales weekend, it's always best to be an early bird shopper so you can have dibs on the best items," Meicler told ABC News.

To assist you with your Memorial Day shopping cart and help you get the best deals in the market, we've listed down the brands and stores that are offering the biggest sales today. Check them out to see where you can buy the cheapest LED TV or microwave oven in the market.
