The Best Things to Buy in May 2021

Spring is in full swing, and with it comes some serious savings. Deals ebb and flow with the seasons, and some months are better than others for particular items. Below, I’ve rounded up the seven best things to buy in May. Happy shopping!

1. Mattresses

May is one of the best times to buy a mattress, thanks to Memorial Day savings. Brands such as Mattress Firm, Tempur-Pedic, Emma, Tuft & Needle, Casper and Nectar are all sure to have sales for the holiday, so check the stores during May for the best deals. To top it off, they’re all Rakuten partners, so you’ll earn Cash Back on every order.

2. Furniture

Furniture is another great buy in May, for the same reason as mattresses: Memorial Day sales. Furniture stores always seem to be running promotions, but May is the best month to take advantage of these savings. Check out Ashley HomeStore, Overstock and Wayfair for furniture deals in May.

3. Kitchenware

Kitchenware often goes on sale in May because of the graduation and wedding seasons, so take advantage of these deals. Kohl’s, Zulily and Macy’s are all great places to look for a new pot-and-pan set, utensils, mixing bowls and much more.

4. Large Appliances

Large appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, washers and dryers typically go on sale in May, as stores make room for new models. This means big savings if you know where to look. Lowe’s, for instance, often marks down last year’s models and scratched and dented appliances in a special section of the store. The GE Appliance Warehouse is also a good place to find closeout and overstock appliances at a great price.

5. Homegoods

Are you tired of looking at the same old decorations? Do you need to give your indoor space a little facelift? You’re in luck, because May is one of the best times to shop for homegoods such as rugs, decorations and storage. Check out Bed Bath & Beyond, Decor Planet, Ruggable and Brylane Home this May for seasonal savings.

6. Seasonal Clothing

In spring, people start going outside and getting active, which causes a rush to purchase activewear. Thankfully there are multiple stores competing for business, which means big discounts for you. Nike, New Balance, Athleta, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Asos and many more will be featuring deals for May.

7. Small Appliances

May is also a great month to purchase small appliances, so snag that coffeemaker, toaster or stand mixer you’ve been eyeing. Best Buy, Walmart, ABT and Dyson are all fantastic places to search for small appliances in May.
