FAQs

When Are Fourth of July Sales?

This year, the Fourth of July fell on Saturday, July 4th, 2026. Most retailers start their sales way before Independence Day, but some continue to drop further discounts on the day and across the long weekend.

If you see something you've had your eye on and it's discounted before July 4th, we would advise not to wait around – it's always best to make the most of the deal when you see it before anything sells out.

What’s Best to Buy on July 4th?

One of the best things to buy in the July 4th sales are grills. Most people buy a new grill in the run-up to July 4th so that they're ready for a cookout. This means that most big box retailers buy lots of stock of grills so they don't run out in the key selling period. Afterwards, they have lots of stock they need to get rid of to make space for new products, which means you can find grills that should be worth thousands of dollars on sale for a lot less.

It is also a great time to shop seasonal decor and furniture before summertime properly hits, so if you're thinking your patio set or planters need a refresh, now is the time to hit the sales.
