More Deals Added! 40+ Memorial Day Weekend Freebies, Discounts & Deals in Denver

POSTED BY

It may be a holiday weekend, but bargain hunters never take a break from saving money. Just about every retailer is having a Memorial Day Sale of some kind — usually on big-ticket items, like mattresses, furniture and appliances. Be sure you’re getting the best price. Always, read the fine print, shop around and compare prices.

However, there are also a few deals on “small-ticket” items (mostly food!) to keep your budget in check.

For those deals only open to military and veterans, be prepared to show a proper military ID for redemption.

The deals are valid from May 23 to 26, 2025 at participating locations, while supplies last. Limit one offer per person, unless noted otherwise.
