These deals are hot, hot, hot.

Once the hot weather hits, so much changes: our wardrobes, our environments, our moods, and even our behaviors a bit. But one habit that isn’t seasonal is online shopping — what varies is where you plant yourself for your weekly (or daily, we don’t judge) browse. Whether you prefer to beat the heat in the air conditioning or slather on the SPF with your legs dangling in a cool pool while you peruse, the activity is enhanced when you discover a sale. And, dear readers, do we have some summer sales for you.  

Everything from outdoor furniture for maximum lounging to vacation-ready clothing is on sale both for the July 4 holiday and simply in the name of savings. Amazon Prime Day and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale are also right around the corner, so stay tuned for updates on those big events. 

Until then, here are some of the best bargains we’ve found this season, and we’ll continually be updating this list to ensure the latest and greatest deals.

Best 4th of July Sales 2024

Best Sales Overall

Amazon

We’ve learned that Prime Day will take place July 16 and 17 this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t save ahead of the two-day shopping extravaganza. There are a ton of deals you can shop right now, just be sure to keep your eye on the Daily Deals page to find limited-time markdowns on things like Shark robot vacuums and easy-to-use walking pads.

Amazon

$600 (50% off)

Shark AI Ultra Voice Control Robot Vacuum

$300 at Amazon

Walmart 

In the name of Independence Day, Walmart is rolling back the prices on thousands of items. Right now, you can get a Ninja Creami for under $170 and we even found a 75-inch OLED TV marked down $1,100. 

Target

If you’re not a Target Circle member yet, now’s the time to sign up (and it’s free to do so). From July 7 to 13, the brand will offer savings of up to 50 percent across all categories as long as you’re a member. But until then, you can still save on items like this Ninja Blender that’s currently 20 percent off.

Nordstrom

Until the Anniversary Sale launches on July 9 (for Nordy Club Icons — the sale opens to the public on July 15), we’ll be perusing the preview page and adding all of our wishlist items to our cart. You’ll also be happy to hear that tons of brands are on sale ahead of the bi-annual anniversary event, including Tory Burch and Bobbi Brown.

Hydrow

From now until July 10, you can save $400 on the Hydrow Pro Rower and $200 off the Hydrow Wave Rower as part of the brand’s July 4 sale. This rowing machine delivers on-the-water content at home with workouts led by Olympians and world-class athletes. Plus, the Hydrow membership gives you access to over 5,000 workouts across HIIT, circuit training, yoga, and more — not just rowing.

J.Crew 

Until July 8, take 50 percent off all warm weather styles and an extra 60 percent off sale styles with the code JULY at J.Crew. We’ve got our eyes on this gauzy maxi dress that’s only $44 with the extra discount. 

Cozy Earth

Curling up in a cool bed with crisp sheets just got a whole lot easier because Cozy Earth is hosting a July 4 sale. You can save up to 25 percent on sheets, towels, or loungewear. You’ll also score free shipping with purchases over $50.

Dermelect

Use the code SPARKS starting June 28 to get 25 percent off our favorite skincare products at Dermelect. Our editors rave about the Self-Esteem Beauty Sleep Serum that works overnight to brighten, plump, and clear skin. 

Zappos

Tommy Hilfiger, Sperry, and Hoka are on sale for Zappos’ Fourth of July bash. Need a new pair of shoes for an upcoming summer wedding? Try these metallic wedges that cost less than $50. Want to enhance your pickleball game? Invest in these proper shoes to ensure your comfort and improve your playing. 

Zappos

Bra drawer looking a little…depressing? It’s time to ditch your pokey underwire bras and worn-out fabric ones for something that’s comfortable and supportive, like Eby’s best-selling Relief Bra. For the Fourth of July, the brand is offering up to 40 percent off sitewide sale (no code needed), so you may want to stock up while the savings are high. 

Peter Millar

Golf season is in full swing (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves), and John’s favorite brand, Peter Millar, is taking advantage by slashing prices on performance polos, sweaters, and more, so you can save up to 25 percent. 

Spanx

Shapewear, swim, and more are on sale right now at Spanx, including Katie’s favorites from the brand’s AirEssentials line. Stock up on everyday necessities like tank tops and tees, or add a travel-friendly piece like this reversible dress to your rotation.

Tory Burch 

Tory Burch’s semi-annual sale is still going strong, but time is of the essence, as the sale ends July 3. Everything on sale is eligible for an extra 25 percent off, so rest assured you’re getting the best deal out there. 

Kate Spade

An extra 50 percent off sale styles? Don’t mind if we do. Punchy accessories from beloved Kate Spade start at $28, and our jaws nearly dropped at the deals you can snag on handbags. Can you believe this stunning number costs less than $160? Just don’t forget to use the code EXTRA50 at checkout to lock in the low price.

Kate Spade

$398 (50% off)

Kate Spade Katy Medium Top-handle Bag

$159 at Kate Spade

lululemon

While it’s not technically a sale, lululemon is constantly adding new styles to its We Made Too Much page. We’ll be shopping for clothes that feel like sweats but look polished, like these mid-rise trousers and these smoothing cropped pants. And even though it’s full-price, we’re probably going to pick up the new version of the brand’s famous Everywhere bag, too.

L’Agence

One of Katie’s favorite brands is L’Agence, but they hardly ever host a sale — which is why we were so excited to see that they’re having a summer sale now until July 7. Select styles, like this slip dress Katie has in multiple colors, will be 25 percent off.

Ann Taylor

For the brand’s Go Fourth in Style event, you can snag 40 percent off everything now until July 3 at Ann Taylor. From breezy linen shirts to flouncy floral dresses, you’re sure to fall in love with something on the site. 

Coach

This is not a drill: Some of our favorite Coach bags are on sale for up to 50 percent off. This carry-all tote is currently half off, and the brand’s classic Tabby bag is marked down, too. 

Best Beauty and Wellness Sales

Dermstore

Right now, you can save an extra 10 percent on sale items over at Dermstore with the code EXTRA10. Fan-favorite brands like First Aid Beauty and Weleda are part of the offer, so now is the perfect time to stock up on your dream creams and cleansers. Plus, if you spend over $200, you’ll get two free gifts with your purchase. 

Sephora

Why do we seem to run out of moisturizer smack dab in the middle of summer, right when we need it most? Thankfully, Sephora has tons on sale right now (from brands like Kate Somerville and Elemis), along with plenty of makeup, so you can restock your empties or try something new. 

Best Tech Sales

Best Buy

Along with daily deals, Best Buy has a whole page dedicated to can’t-miss discounts on brands like Keurig, Apple, and Arlo. Some deals are member-exclusive (which requires paying for a membership plan), but most of them are available to anyone, like saving up to $1,000 on an iPhone 15 when you trade in an old one. 

Best Buy

$28/month (Up to $1,000 off with trade-in)

Apple – iPhone 15 Pro 128GB – Black Titanium

$25+ Payment Per Month With Trade In

Best Home Sales

Wayfair

If you have outdoor space of any kind, we’re jealous, but we also want you to take advantage of the savings Wayfair has in celebration of July 4. Save up to 70 percent off across categories from June 28 to July 7. 

Brooklinen

Get rewarded by saving more when you bundle at Brooklinen. From June 28 to July 7, you can take 20 percent off the entire site, and you’ll save up to 35 percent on bundles of sheets, pillowcases, and duvets.
