Presidents Day Sale 2017: where to get the best tech deals
President's Day is on Monday, February 20. The day is marked on everyone's calendars on the third Monday of February each year in honor of George Washington's birthday, but you most likely associate the holiday with your local furniture store's sale ads on TV. Many stores are holding sales during the weekend, and you can score some great tech deals if you act fast.
President's Day is an often overlooked holiday, but there are a lot of great offers happening this weekend. Beyond the usual furniture and appliance sales, there are plenty of Presidents Day promotions for tech and electronics too. Here are some of our favorites:
