If you’re in the market for a new smartphone or cell phone, Presidents Day is typically one of the best times of the year for wireless phone sales. 2026 is no exception. Your local Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile/Sprint, and U.S. Cellular stores or authorized agents will be well-stocked and ready to deal. There are many phones available FREE, even through prepaid carriers with no contract required.

Watch for special clearance offers on prepaid phones and service from Boost Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, Cricket Wireless, NET 10, TracFone, Straight Talk, Family Mobile, Total Wireless, and Mint Mobile.

Because of the “challenging” economy this past year, most of us have kept our cell phones and smartphones longer than in years past. Presidents Day weekend will be a good time to shop for a new phone. We should see some good iPad and tablet sales, too. Many people are in a difficult financial situation today, so wireless phone dealers are rolling out the discounts and rebates. Shop all holiday wireless phone sales in your local area to locate the best prices and promotions.

If you’re in the market for a new car or truck, Presidents Day is one of the best times of the year for new auto sales. 2026 is no exception. Your local Honda, Toyota, Chevy, Buick/Cadillac/GMC, Suzuki, Ford/Lincoln, Hyundai, BMW, Volkswagen, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, Kia/Hyundai, Infiniti, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Subaru, Lexus, and Volvo dealers will have large inventories. They’re ready to deal on the lot and on their websites. Many independent used car dealers will also be hosting large holiday car, truck, and SUV clearance sales.

In addition to savings of several thousands of dollars on most models, look for offers of free airline tickets and gift cards. 0% financing is once again being offered on some models. Discounts on extended warranties and service/maintenance plans should be available. If you’d rather lease than buy, watch for special manufacturer-backed lease terms and offers.

Because of the “challenging” economy we currently find ourselves in, most of us have kept our cars and trucks longer than we normally do. The average used vehicle is now over 12 years old! Presidents Day weekend will be a good time to search for a replacement. Auto dealers are rolling out the sales, discounts, and rebate incentives. Shop all holiday car, truck & SUV sale events in your local area to locate the best prices and promotions.
