March sits in a sweet spot for shoppers. Winter clearance is still happening, spring collections are arriving with introductory discounts, and retailers are fighting for your attention before the quiet months hit. If you know where to look — and you stack cashback on top — you can save serious money this month.
I've tracked March pricing patterns for years. Here's exactly what's worth buying right now, what to avoid, and how to squeeze every dollar of savings out of each purchase.
The Big One: Amazon Big Spring Sale (March 25-31)
Amazon confirmed their Big Spring Sale runs March 25 through March 31 this year. Last year they offered deals across every category, with the best discounts on:
- Electronics: Apple accessories, Kindle devices, and Fire tablets typically drop 30-40%
- Home: Dyson, iRobot, and Bissell vacuums saw 25-45% markdowns
- Fashion: Levi's, Adidas, and New Balance with 20-50% off
- Outdoor: Grills, patio furniture, and gardening supplies at season-low prices
The move: start at iSwees Amazon page before clicking through to Amazon. You'll earn cashback on top of the sale prices. On a $300 Dyson vacuum marked down to $180, that cashback adds another $4-9 back.
Best Things to Buy in March
1. Mattresses — Best Prices Until Memorial Day
New mattress models arrive in stores during spring, which means last year's models get steep discounts. March is the first wave of markdowns. You won't see prices this low again until Memorial Day weekend.
Where to look: Casper, Purple, and Tempur-Pedic all run spring clearance events. Check their pages on iSwees for current cashback rates before buying.
2. Sneakers — Nike Air Max Day is March 26
Nike goes all-in for Air Max Day every year. Expect 20-40% off select styles sitewide, plus exclusive colorway releases. Rakuten currently lists 6% cashback on Nike, but check iSwees for Adidas and Nike — rates can spike during big sale events.
Other sneaker brands follow Nike's lead. Adidas is already running a spring promotion with 15-65% off, and their Samba and Gazelle lines are included. New Balance typically joins with 20-30% off select styles by mid-March.
3. Spring Clothing — Buy Early, Save More
Retailers want you shopping for spring clothes in March, so they offer introductory discounts to get you in early. By April, those discounts shrink.
- SHEIN: Currently running 30% off sitewide plus free shipping with codes
- Kate Spade: Outlet section at 70% off with an additional 15% stackable
- Levi's: End-of-season denim sales, typically 30-40% off
4. Vacuum Cleaners and Cleaning Supplies
Spring cleaning season means vacuum deals. Dyson's spring clearance is already underway (some deals expire March 7, so move fast). Bissell and Shark follow with their own promotions through mid-March.
Stack your savings: click through iSwees to the retailer, buy during the sale, pay with a rewards credit card. On a $400 Dyson, you could save $120 from the sale + $8-16 cashback + $8-20 credit card rewards = $148 total savings.
5. Electronics — Lenovo Spring Clearance
Lenovo is running their Spring Clearance Sale right now with ThinkPad laptops marked down up to 86% off. That's not a typo — they're clearing out previous-gen inventory before Q2 launches.
Samsung Galaxy S26 launch deals are still active too, with trade-in values that effectively drop the price by $200-400 depending on your current phone.
What to Skip in March
Outdoor Furniture (Wait Until May)
Stores price patio sets high in March to catch eager spring shoppers. Wait until Memorial Day for the real markdowns, typically 30-40% lower than March pricing.
Large Appliances (Wait for Presidents' Day Leftovers to Clear)
Refrigerators, washers, and dryers were discounted heavily in February. March prices creep back up. The next wave of deals comes in July around Independence Day.
TVs (Wait for Prime Day)
TV prices in March are at their annual high. Manufacturers have cleared Super Bowl inventory and haven't started pre-Prime Day discounting yet. Unless something is broken, wait until June or July.
March 2026 Key Shopping Dates
- March 7: Dyson spring sale ends (some categories)

How to Maximize Cashback on March Deals
Every purchase should go through three layers:
- Check iSwees first. Find the store, see the cashback rate, click through
- Apply any coupon codes listed on iSwees (other codes may void cashback)
- Pay with a rewards credit card. Discover's Q1 bonus (5% on restaurants and home improvement stores) runs through March 31. Chase Freedom Flex has 5% on grocery stores. Activate if you haven't already
Real example: You buy a $200 pair of Nikes during Air Max Day.
- Sale price: $140 (30% off)
- iSwees cashback: ~4% = $5.60
- Credit card rewards: 2% = $2.80
- Total paid: $131.60 — that's 34% off the original price
The Bottom Line
March 2026 is a strong month for mattresses, sneakers, spring fashion, and electronics. The Amazon Big Spring Sale (March 25-31) and Nike Air Max Day (March 26) are the two biggest events to plan around.
Skip outdoor furniture, large appliances, and TVs — better deals are coming later this year.
And always, always start at iSwees before you click "buy." Those cashback percentages add up fast when you're shopping sales.
