Dazzling fireworks, BBQs, watermelon slices, and lakeside picnics are all ways to enjoy the 4th of July. But before you indulge, don’t miss out on the hot summer sales in honor of Independence Day. While not all the price cuts are as hefty as other holiday sales, some items, like mattresses, camping gear, clothing, and accessories, are marked way down.
To help you on your hunt for great 4th of July deals, we’ve rounded up the best sales in multiple categories, but act fast – just like summer, these deals end way too soon.
What day of the week is the 4th of July 2023?
In 2023, the 4th of July falls on a Tuesday. While banks, post offices, and the stock market are closed due to the federal holiday, many stores are open for business (at least online), so you can take advantage of low prices leading up to the week of the fourth (and for some retailers, even beyond) .
What should you buy during the 4th of July sales?
Mattresses, patio furniture, bath and bedding, apparel and accessories, plus summer items like camping and pool gear, are often marked down. Back-to-school items start to be on sale around this time as well.
How long do July 4th sales last?
Most July 4 sales start one week to a few days before Independence Day and tend to end the day after. Of course, every retailer is different, so check before you plan to fill up your cart.
