When do July 4th sales begin?
Independence Day is Thursday, July 4, but sales start much earlier, and they tend to hang around for a few days after the holiday too. Amazon announced that its next Prime Day will take place July 16 and 17, so it’s possible that the two sales will blend into one.
Where are the best July 4th sales?
July 4th sales offer some of the best prices on tech, appliances, mattresses and fashion, making it a great time to snag stellar prices on must-have items, and there will be a ton of retailers participating in the holiday savings. Unsurprisingly, Amazon is usually one of the best places to buy since it sells products from almost all of the major brands across all these popular categories, making it a tremendous one-stop shop for all of your July 4th buys. Outside of Amazon, we recommend checking out appliance and tech sales at Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe’s, as well as holiday sales on a huge variety of categories at the likes of Walmart, Target and Nordstrom, among others.
Should I shop July 4th sales or wait for Prime Day deals?
There’s no definitive way to say whether July 4th sales or Prime Day deals are best. Both sales offer plenty of deals, including some of the best prices we’ll see all year. Plus, in all likelihood, the two sales are going to blur into one big discount extravaganza, given their expected proximity.
July 4th sales offer more variety in retailers, though much of your shopping may take place on Amazon anyway. There are also plenty of non-Amazon retailers that will keep their sales rolling through mid-July, often directly competing with Amazon Prime prices. Since you’ll be able to shop so many July 4th sales in just a few weeks, you’ll be able to check out the early deals, grab what you need and then keep tabs on Prime Day deals later for anything you miss out on.
