Lululemon’s ‘we made too much’ section: a memorial day treasure hunt
Forget the typical Memorial Day sales blitz. Lululemon’s perpetually discounted ‘We Made Too Much’ section is quietly delivering some serious savings this week – and it’s a surprisingly good place to score premium activewear.
Don’t expect a formal sale, but the deals are real
Technically, Lululemon isn’t staging a traditional Memorial Day sale. But that hasn’t stopped their shopping team from uncovering a trove of discounts within the brand’s ever-rotating selection of overstock and discontinued items. The key? The ‘We Made Too Much’ page, consistently refreshed with new arrivals and deeply discounted staples.
The pace breaker joggers – a hidden gem
One standout find: the Pace Breaker joggers, originally priced around $148, are currently available for under $90. Associate Commerce Editor Bellamy Richardson highlights their design: ‘These are built for speed and comfort, with a streamlined fit and ventilation that won’t weigh you down.’ The zippered cuffs are a particular touch – no more fumbling with sneakers while you’re already battling the heat.
Beyond the joggers: a wide range of savings
But the deals don’t stop there. We’ve identified a range of discounted essentials, including ABC Classic-Fit Trousers, Metal Vent Tech Shirts, Smooth Spacer Hoodies, and even Swim Shorts. Stock levels are predictably tight, so move quickly if something catches your eye. Lululemon’s strategy of rapidly clearing out inventory is a clever way to drive traffic and generate buzz, especially as the long weekend approaches.
