When do Fourth of July sales begin?

Though the Independence Day holiday occurs on Thursday, July 4 this year, Fourth of July sales start much earlier and they tend to hang around for a few days after the holiday itself. Amazon announced that its next Prime Day will take place in July. While the retailer hasn’t revealed the exact dates, we anticipate the event will probably land in the second week of the month, so it’s possible that the two sales will blend into one. 

Where are the best Fourth of July sales?

Fourth of July 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 Fourth of July 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 Fourth of July sales or wait for Prime Day deals? 

There’s no definitive way to say whether Fourth of July 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.

Fourth of July sales offer more variety in which retailers you can shop, 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 Fourth of July 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.
