While this weekend’s primary focus is, of course, on the service and sacrifice of sir Martin Luther King — there’s no denying that such holiday weekends come with a few fringe benefits, like shopping.

… Online. From bed.

At noon.

Specifically, this marks the time of year when retailers are slashing prices on two key categories:

Workout gear — fitness brands like Athleta, Nike and Lululemon are taking advantage of our resolutions to lose weight, hit the gym and get fit by offering markdowns on lots of apparel and equipment. Nordstrom just added a lot of activewear to their sale section, too.

In addition, clothing retailers are clearing the racks of sweaters, coats and other cold-weather apparel to make room for spring and summer collections in February. (Yes, already!)

Here’s a few of my favorite sales (click the hotspots below to shop each item):
