When is Columbus Day 2020?

Columbus Day always falls on the second Monday in October. This year, the holiday is on Monday, October 14th. But some Columbus Day sales will start even earlier than that, so keep your eyes peeled for extra savings starting early in the month.

Where to shop Columbus Day sales

Mattresses

Ready to sleep easy? Columbus Day is a great time to find a dreamy deal on a new mattress. Do your research before you shop by checking out our complete guide to buying mattresses online. Most major bed-in-a-box brands like Purple, Casper and Leesa offer discounts and sometimes even free pillows this time of year.

If you’d rather shop in-store, compare prices from stores like Sears and Mattress Firm. Historically, these retailers have slashed prices on hundreds of name-brand mattresses, plus added free pillows to the deal for a limited time.

Appliances

You could snag a great price on a new washer or dryer this Columbus Day. Some years, department stores like Sears have slashed appliance prices up to 80%, but in recent years, discounts have been lower. Best Buy and Home Depot have also offered 20% to 30% off appliances in the past.

Read through our appliance buying guide for tips and tricks on snagging the lowest price, as well as side-by-side comparisons to help you pick the right one for you.

Electronics

Deals on electronics will definitely be available Columbus Day weekend, but you might find even better deals if you can hold out for Black Friday.

In past years, the top tech sales for Columbus Day included Canon’s discounts on refurbished cameras and lenses, as well as 4K TVs from retailers like Best Buy. Amazon has also offered savings on its own branded electronics like Echo and Fire Stick.

Clothing and shoes

Get your wardrobe ready for colder weather with Columbus Day sales. Some brands offer discounts that are almost as good as Black Friday deals. Keep an eye out for the Banana Republic Hello Fall sale, which typically ends on Columbus Day, as well as Bloomingdale's Friends and Family Sale, which falls around the same time.

Macy's usually gives shoppers 15% to 25% off select items for Columbus Day.

If you want to add some new decor to your home, Macy's has offered up to 20% off home goods in the past. And ACE Hardware usually offers deals on a variety of outdoor items like fire pits, as well as Halloween decorations.
