If you didn’t take advantage of Fourth of July sales, don’t worry— the rest of the month is likewise full of sales and deals. Brands like savings on dresses and jumpsuits if you’re looking for a new outfit to wear after months of staying home in pajamas. Sales are available in-store and online — if you’re going out, make sure to wear a face mask. For those looking to make the most of a staycation, retailers like and are offering savings on items that can upgrade your outdoor oasis. Low prices on patio furniture, fire pits and pool floats can help elevate your summer both while the sun is out and after it sets.
We consulted Michael Bonebright, a consumer analyst from DealNews.com, to learn more about navigating shopping for the best sales and deals throughout July. His advice? Since this month starts off with some of the biggest sales of the season, many peak in the coming days. You’ll want to check them out sooner than later.
Best July buys — and what can wait
One of the best items to buy during July is patio furniture. Retailers like Wayfair and are offering large discounts on tables, couches and dining sets. Bonebright said savings on patio furniture will most likely last through September, but the selection is better at the beginning of the season. While there may be a variety of laptop sales in July, Bonebright suggests waiting to purchase a new computer until the fall when back to school deals begin. He said prices on laptops will steadily decrease through Black Friday.
Bonebright also said travel companies are currently offering “record-breaking” discounts on airfare, cruises and hotel bundles. However, due to the coronavirus, he does not recommend purchasing anything related to travel in the coming months. Instead, Bonebright said people should take advantage of deals on items that make spending time at home more enjoyable.
