We are, of course, looking forward to fireworks in a few weeks, and we certainly won't be turning our noses up to a hot dog or hamburger, but we've got a few more reasons to celebrate the Fourth of July. Yes, we are talking about the many sales to shop during summer's hottest holiday. You may not think of July 4th as a major shopping event, but it is. This time of year is when retailers are looking to clear out their shelves to make room for new inventory ahead of the fall months, making it a prime time to drop prices and delight consumers like us. So while you're enjoying the heat and having a hot dog, don't forget to check out the best deals to shop so you don't miss a bargain.
The good thing about Fourth of July sales is that they are typically a multi-day event for most retailers, bookending the holiday. This year, July 4th lands on a Thursday and is two weeks away, so that means sales are starting already. Things should ramp up significantly by next weekend, with retailers dropping discounts across tons of categories.
We're keeping our eye on the top deals coming out of your favorite stores—like Walmart, Target, Wayfair, and even Amazon—and are rounding up some of the best discounts on favorite brands and items. That includes bestsellers, AOL-reader favorites, and the tried-and-tested products we love.
Last year, we saw discounts on everything from patio furniture to 4th of July mattress sales and backyard grill deals you could not beat. This year, we expect much the same. As major retailers clear out summer inventory in preparation for fall, we all get to benefit from the clean-out.
