Don’t miss the summer’s best deals

Move over Amazon Prime Day. July is the hottest time of year to get deals on household goods, seasonal favorites, wellness and self-care items, and so much more across multiple retailers. In fact, July sales may be the best time to buy cheap finds, gifts for her, and gifts for men between the 4th of July sales and clearance blowouts.

When it comes to what to buy in July, smart shopping expert Trae Bodge says just about everything will be on sale. “There will be deals on everything from apparel to beauty to home goods, and the discounts will be as deep as 50 percent off,” she explains. “One of my favorite categories for discounts this time of year is mattresses and bedding, where you will find discounts as well as freebies like free pillows or sheets. So, if you missed those Memorial Day mattress sales, this is a good time to make up for it.”

It’s the perfect time to stock up on everything you need for the rest of the summer and to get ahead on holiday shopping. While you’re at it, find out the other best times to buy throughout the year.
