Should You Shop the 4th of July Sales?

As with any sales event, it’s incredibly important that you don’t get too swept up in the magic of big discounts. It’s super tempting to look through sales at your favorite retailers and go a little nuts and buy everything so that’s why we’ve got some key tips on what to look for.

Typically, the 4th of July is usually a great sales event for appliances, home items, and anything for the outdoors. After all, it occurs right in the middle of summer so retailers appreciate that you’re probably more focused on enjoying the outdoors than you are about buying the latest technology right now. Homeware items like new furniture, a way of sprucing up your decor, or even grills and furniture for your yard are likely to pop up here.

What retailers should you check out? Look at the likes of Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Wayfair, and Walmart for some awesome deals on all kinds of things. Whether you’re looking for a new grill or a new lawnmower, they should be on sale here with each retailer offering a hub of their best 4th of July sales. It’s also worth thinking about specific retailers like mattress brands such as Nectar or Tempur-Pedic for their big discounts as such brands love to enjoy the holidays with a great sale. While you’re thinking about it, check out our look at the best mattress-in-a-box brands so you know exactly what to look for.

That’s the beauty behind the 4th of July sales. Unlike how Prime Day or Black Friday focuses on technology and big-name gadgets, 4th of July deals often tackle the smaller but no less important things in life. That means there’s something for everyone here. The downside is that it can feel overwhelming unless you know exactly what you’re looking for. While we’re on hand to provide you with plenty of insight, it’s also important to think about things too.

What do you actually need from the 4th of July deals? It’s a really smart idea to think about how you can improve your home then do a little research beforehand. For instance, if you’ve realized you’d love a new and improved way of cooking outdoors, check out our look at the best smoker-grill combos so you know what brands and features to look out for when making a purchase. Similarly, we’ve looked at the best drip coffee makers and the best kitchen knives too so you don’t have to guess what brand to go for.

Alternatively, if you have a more active lifestyle, read up on the best pull-up bars before learning about the best backpacking tents so you’re good to go on a big adventure this summer.

With many major retailers involved in the 4th of July deals, you should be able to find a discount on pretty much everything you could want so have a think about your budget. It’s super tempting to spend big but that might not be a smart idea if you can’t afford it. Figure out your budget, potentially right down to each individual item you need, then stick to it unless the deal is unmissable.

Because, like Prime Day, not every deal will be unmissable. Some deals are more incremental than anything so unless you definitely, absolutely need that item, it might not be worth snagging it in the sales. Of course, if you need it anyhow then go for it, but save the impulse purchases for the truly great deals that are out there. It’s a false economy if you buy just for the sake of it rather than because you genuinely need something.

When Do the 4th of July Sales End?

That depends on the retailer. Some sales end at the end of 4th of July while others will run into the following day. It’s best to assume that if you see the item you want on sale today, you should snap it up in case the sale ends. There’s no guarantee that the 4th of July deals will last any longer than today because, after all, it is a one-day event.

Best Memorial Day Sales and Deals 2022: What to Expect
best memorial day sales deals 2021

With the end of May on the horizon, Memorial Day is almost upon us, as are the sales, so if you're looking for some great deals, it's important to prepare. We know that sometimes it's hard not to go all out with big sales, but having a clear goal on what you want and how much you are willing to spend is important. Plus, it doesn't hurt to know where to look for some of the best deals and what you should be looking for.
What are the Memorial Day Sales?
If you're not familiar with them, Memorial Day sales are sales that happen on and around Memorial Day. The day itself is a day of remembrance in the U.S. for soldiers who died in the line of duty and falls on the last Monday of May. This year, Memorial Day lands on Monday, May 30, so basically at the end of the month, which gives you plenty of time to prepare.
When Do the Memorial Day Sales Start?
While Memorial Day lands on Monday, May 30, sales often tend to surround the day, with most of them happening in the days leading up to it. This is especially the case since Friday will be off, which means there's going to be a long weekend, the perfect time for people to shop online sales. That being said, it's also likely we'll be seeing deals pop up in the week or so leading up to the long weekend. In fact, we just saw Way Day 2022 finish, and they're very likely ramping up for another sale at the end of the month.

As you've probably gathered, there's no set date for sales to start, other than knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that they will happen on the 30th, and also an incredibly high likelihood of sales in a couple of days leading up to it. As such, it's probably best to hold out until near the end of the month for the best offers, although if you can't wait, you can do a search on our pages for what you're looking for. We have collected deals on everything from the best bicycle deals, best lawn mower deals, and even the best smoker deals, so we've done our best to cover a lot of different lifestyle, fitness, and outdoor categories.
Where Are the Best Memorial Day Sales?
Where Memorial Day sales shine are in appliances, things like fridges, washing machines, blenders, air fryers, etc. If you're planning to grab an appliance, Memorial Day sales are the best time of the year for them since you're less likely to see such a concentration of deals around appliances for the rest of the year.
