What To Buy For The Best Deals In July

The retail world works in cycles as seasons change and new models of big ticket items tend to release at the same times every year. That means retailers are almost constantly busy clearing out older merchandise to make room for the new. Luckily for consumers, this means there is opportunity for bargains all year.

What are the best things to buy in July? We have compiled a list!

Seasonal Clothing And Accessories – Flip flops, sunglasses, swim suits and summer dresses are just a few of the things you’ll start seeing on sale this month. Stores need space for back to school clothes and coats so they are looking to unload warm weather items before shoppers start preparing for the cold.

Ice cream – July is National Ice Cream Month. It’s also the dead of summer and the absolute best time to relax with a cold treat. Stores are currently running great sales on ice cream and novelty ice cream items. These things will last in the freezer for a long time (if you can resist eating it right now) so be sure to stock up for later!

Produce – With so much fresh produce in season, you can eat the rainbow while getting a deal both in stores and at local farm markets. Find a bargain on something you can preserve for later? Go for it! Even if you aren’t into canning, things like berries, corn and peaches can be flash frozen to enjoy later!

Lawn And Garden – Thinking about updating your outdoor living space? July is traditionally a good time to seek out bargains at big box retailers on things like outdoor dining and living furniture, perennial flowers, shrubs and trees. Buy now for a great deal and you’ll still have a few warm months left to enjoy them this year.

Early Back To School Deals – While most students don’t head back to class until mid-August, stores are preparing for the annual rush on school supplies. Even if you don’t have kids in school, you may benefit from deals on paper, pens, note pads and other office supplies you use around the house.
