Ready to Pull the Trigger. Which MF or GC Sale???

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm ready for 1 big purchase and some smaller stuff, but waiting for either Memorial Day or Father's Day sales at MF and/or GC.
Does anyone know which holiday sale will have the bigger %$ off?
I appreciate any insight.
Ready to spend!!!

They are usually the same. MF doesn't have outlet here, so no sales tax. That's where I usually order from.

They are the same company - I'd be surprised if they any more than a penny or so in price differences.

But GC is in a lot of cities and MF isn't quite as easy to find. Returns are usually at the door in GC and you've got to mail things back to MF.

Sorry, I know they're the same, but sometimes I go to the local GC and sometimes online MF.
I guess I should ask which holiday might have the better discount, Memorial Day or Father's Day?
Thanks.

Nobody knows until the day of the sale (or when they send out an advertisement). Sometimes GC has good deals, sometimes MF. I think they change around for variety. And honestly it kind of depends on what stuff they need to move and how much they've ordered. My guess would be Memorial Day though just because it's a bigger holiday.
