An employee walks past a display of appliances at a Home Depot in Robinson Township, Pa. Columbus Day weekend is a great time to buy appliances, because manufacturers discount the older models in order to clear out their inventory for the new year.

Welcome to America, everyone! For every pointless holiday we have, you can bet there's a sale to go along with it. This month, our holiday du-jour is Columbus Day, but what kinds of deals will you actually find this weekend?

To find out, we asked our team of deal experts what kinds of things shoppers should keep an eye out for. Here are 20 deals to snatch up for the holiday:

Shoes

Keep those toes cozy and fashion-forward throughout the fall and winter months. Columbus Day sales are a great time to stock up on all your favorite seasonal styles. Here are our favorite Columbus Day shoe deals:

Electronics

While we don't expect to see any deals on electronics as crazy as what's set to happen during Black Friday, if you're in need of some tech gear right now, it's not a bad weekend to buy it.

Appliances

Kitchen and household appliances are always available at a good discount during the fall, because manufacturers are introducing new products. They discount the older models in order to clear out their inventory for the new year.

Jewelry

If you're looking to adorn yourself, or that special someone, with jewels this holiday season, now is a good time to save on jewelry!

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
