As the nation gears up for Memorial Day weekend, the deals are heating up, much like the grill that you're probably dusting off for the occasion. From freebies to discounts, retailers and service providers are rolling out a smorgasbord of offers. Bagels, burgers, and everything in between are on the menu for savvy savers this week.

Give a salute to savings at Einstein Bros Bagels, where members of the Shmear Society can lock down a baker's dozen on the cheap this Monday. As reported by ABC15, that's 13 bagels for just $9, available on May 29, to ensure your Memorial Day brunch is stacked. Not stopping there, the chain also dishes out 20% off all digital gift cards through June 20, stretching that holiday budget even thinner.

Switching reels from brunch to blockbuster savings, movie buffs can hit up AMC Theatres. They’re slicing 30% off evening ticket prices before 4 p.m. every day, a deal that includes the long weekend, giving cinema enthusiasts a chance to catch the summer's big hits without taking a hit to their wallet. Meanwhile, get your snack fix at Harkins Theatres, where you can snag a Super Big Party Popcorn for $25, described by ABC15, as 3x the size of their regular Big Party Popcorn.

While some are slicing chunks off prices, Lowe's is axing them entirely, with their Memorial Day Sale on home improvement essentials. Running from May 18 to 31, it's a prime time for DIYers to stock up on everything necessary to spruce up the homestead for summer. For the military community, bargains are not just a holiday occasion but an everyday token of appreciation. Ace Hardware pays tribute with a free 8" x 12" U.S flag on May 27, while Applebee's dishes out Happy Hour specials that include half-price appetizers and drinks, not once, but twice a day.
