When it comes to deals, the biggest event in May is Memorial Day weekend, which serves as the unofficial start of the summer for retailers.

Over Memorial Day weekend (May 24-26) many retailers offer storewide discounts, with a focus on big-ticket items. Some of these sales roll out well before the holiday weekend, says Sarah Jankowski, director of user growth and integrated marketing at Shopkick.

I need another phone but guess I will wait as I didnot see this on the list for this article.

Lol, hoping to replace my Samsung Galaxy J3 that my daughter bought for me in 2018.

Took months for her to convince me to "let go" of my much luved flip phone.

Already replaced ORIGINAL battery with a battery I bought from Amazon this year. Well, the "youngsters" at T-mobile rescued me when I could NOT get the back off. Phone had died.  😱

GRATEFUL they were NICE about all this. When I was still in Florida (now in Virginia), my only child/daughter did everything electronic for me.

Anyway, I am FINALLY listening to her and will REPLACE soon.

*** Anyone have any plans for a May 2025 purchase?

Take care,
