Lululemon’s ‘we made too much’ pile: a memorial day discount dive

Forget the usual Memorial Day fanfare; Lululemon’s quietly stocked ‘We Made Too Much’ section is delivering serious savings this weekend.

A secret sale, unadvertised

While the brand isn’t formally hosting a sale, savvy shoppers have already unearthed a wealth of discounted activewear, including a prime example: the Pace Breaker joggers, now priced under $90 – a significant reduction from their usual retail.

Seriously, $89.

Associate commerce editor Bellamy Richardson highlights the joggers’ design: “These are built for speed and comfort, featuring a distraction-free, slim fit with ample ventilation. Lululemon’s always aiming for the details, and these pack in some clever features, like zippered cuffs for snag-free removal of sneakers and an adjustable drawcord waistband.”

Beyond the joggers

Beyond the joggers

The ‘We Made Too Much’ section is overflowing with summer essentials – golf apparel, running shoes, swim shorts, and more. But don’t linger too long; inventory is notoriously swift to deplete, particularly around major shopping holidays. It’s a classic supply-meets-demand scenario, and one that rewards the diligent browser.

Consider it a micro-competition.

Don’t miss out

With Memorial Day sales elsewhere largely predictable, Lululemon’s ‘We Made Too Much’ remains a genuinely unexpected treasure trove. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best deals are found in the corners, not in the grand pronouncements of official promotions.
