These deals are hot, hot, hot.
Once the hot weather hits, so much changes: our wardrobes, our environments, our moods, and even our behaviors (hello, glass of rosé at lunch!). But one habit that isn’t seasonal is online shopping, which is a yearlong practice in the Katie Couric Media household. 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 major summer sales happening right now.
Everything from outdoor furniture for maximum lounging to vacation-ready clothing is on sale. Before the heavy-hitting Labor Day sales begin, we rounded up the best sales of the season from some of your favorite stores. And be sure to check back because we’ll update this list to bring you the latest and greatest deals all summer long.

Best Sales Overall
Curling up in a cool bed with crisp sheets just got a whole lot easier because we secured you an exclusive discount at Cozy Earth: Use the code KATIECOURIC at checkout to get up to 35 percent off your purchase of sheets, towels, or whatever else you choose to buy.
In the name of summer, Walmart is rolling back the prices on thousands of items. Right now, you can get a Ninja Creami for under $175, and we even found a 75-inch LED TV marked down $900.
Our eyes are always peeled for deals on our favorite kitchen appliances from Ninja, and we found some superb savings at Target. Air fryers, coffee makers, and blenders are all on sale right now, some up to 30 percent off the regular price. With prices under $100, we’re finding it hard not to pack our kitchen full of small appliances immediately.
We squealed with glee when we found out Wayfair is offering up to 60 percent off all kinds of outdoor furniture and fixtures until August 22. Thousands of styles are marked down right now, from comfy patio seating to at-home pickleball courts. The hardest part will be narrowing down your favorites.
When we saw the words “up to 50 percent off designer” at Saks, our eyes popped out of our heads. We’ll always take the opportunity to score savings on Katie’s favorite brands like Vince, L’Agence, and Veronica Beard. If you’re not looking to splurge right now, don’t fret: Deals on beauty and home items start as low as $10.
You don’t have to be parked in front of your television late at night to score the best deals from QVC: Now until August 19, the brand is marking down thousands of items as a part of QVC Outlet. We’ve got our eyes on a mosquito trap that claims to banish bugs from an area of up to half an acre large and a pair of shoes Katie was recently gifted and loves.
Tommy Hilfiger, Sperry, Hoka, and more are currently on sale at Zappos. Need a new pair of shoes for an upcoming summer wedding? Try these leather wedges that cost $50. Want to enhance your pickleball game? Invest in these proper shoes to ensure comfort and improve your playing.
Best Fashion Sales
The Anniversary Sale may be over, but there are still plenty of markdowns happening over at Nordstrom. Tory Burch shoes and bags are currently marked down by up to 40 percent, some men’s clothing (including designer pieces) are 75 percent off, and an exclusive beauty sale now includes much-loved brands like Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier.
Investing in leather accessories is a great way to build a forever wardrobe, but it’s not always budget-friendly. That’s why we love Coach Outlet for its designer steals. Right now, you can take up to 70 percent off classic work totes, chic shoulder bags, and more.
Looking to steal Katie’s look? Right now, some of her favorite pieces have landed in Madewell’s sale section, which is updated daily. She has these wide-leg pants in multiple colors.
Shapewear, swimsuits, 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 tees, or add a travel-friendly piece like this reversible dress to your rotation.
Until August 19, select summer styles start at under $20, and sale products are an extra 50 percent off with the code EXTRA at J.Crew. We’ve got our eyes on this gauzy maxi dress that’s only $24 with the extra discount.
Punchy accessories from beloved Kate Spade start at $28, and our jaws nearly dropped at the deals you can snag on handbags right now, like this convertible number that’s nearly $100 off.
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 high-rise trousers and these smoothing cropped pants. And even though it’s full-priced, we’ll probably pick up the new version of the brand’s famous Everywhere bag, too.
Best Beauty and Wellness Sales
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.
MysteryVibe is currently offering 30 percent off all of its award-winning sex toys as a part of its pre-Labor Day sale. The brand’s devices are obviously designed to give those using them pleasure, but they’re not just for fun. Each toy is made to help alleviate common concerns like pelvic pain, dryness, and reduced arousal.
Best Tech Sales
Along with daily deals, Best Buy has a whole page dedicated to can’t-miss discounts on brands like Keurig, Sony, and Apple. 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 Home Sales
Finding a mattress that ticks all your boxes can be a challenge, but we’ve found that Avocado beds are truly what dreams are made of. They’re made with all-natural materials and assembled in the U.S., and they’re also GOTS-certified, donate one percent of mattress revenue to 1% For The Planet, and are a Certified B Corporation. Right now, you can save up to $1,540 on mattresses and 50 percent on bedding as part of the brand’s early Labor Day sale.
Want up to 30 percent off everything? Head over to Casper’s sale page to score savings on mattresses, pillows, and more. All bundles are 30 percent off, including this one, which includes a mattress, pillows, bed frame, and mattress protector for under $2,500.
