Presidents Day may technically be a federal holiday honoring the first U.S. president, George Washington, and other subsequent U.S. presidents, but the third Monday in February just might make its biggest mark as a great day for snagging sales.

Presidents Day discounts this year range between 20 percent and 80 percent off popular products and apparel on Monday. But according to Jon Lal, founder of coupon site BeFrugal.com, Feb. 17 isn't the only day to get big markdowns.

“Start early,” Lal told IBTimes. “Presidents Day is Monday, but many of the sales have already started.” Lal recommended to shop as early as Friday all the way through Monday for the best prices. He also said some stores will have Valentine’s Day sales as well, so Friday could be the best day to score double discounts, not to mention more selection on popular products.

Lal also suggested savvy shoppers should look for coupons to use in store in weekly ads and circulars as well as coupon codes online. Many sites will have discount codes for additional savings or free shipping online on top of the Presidents Day discounts.

So grab your wallets and eco-friendly shopping bags! Here are the best places, online and in store, to snag a sale on Presidents Day 2014, courtesy of BeFrugal.com.
