WHAT TO EXPECT, BUY AND AVOID:
I spoke with Sara Skirboll, the Shopping and Trends Expert with RetailMeNot. She echoed those findings and more! Click here to see RetailMeNot's list of what to expect this Fourth of July by category.
Sara previewed some deals at Old Navy. "T-shirts are starting at $6, shorts at $10, and they're offering up to 60 percent off the entire store and site," she said. On the site, it also says up to 75 percent off clearance items.
With a festive display, Sara continued to showcase savings at Target with designer inflatable pools. She showed the discounts at Walmart for party supply must-haves, and explained that Dick's Sporting Goods has great deals on lawn games and more with their Summer Garage Sale event, where some items will be up to 75 percent off.
In regards to Dick's Sporting Goods, she added, "Hydro Flasks are 25 percent off. Select camping gear will be up to 50 percent off. Bikes, bicycles, are up to 30 percent off."
Sara also says you can expect deals on grilling gear. Labor Day is typically best, but the Fourth of July offers great options as well.
This is important. She wants you to know that there is one shopping category you should avoid.
"Bottom line, don't buy electronics this weekend. Wait until Prime Day is announced or wait as long as possible for Black Friday," Sara explained.
Have a great Fourth of July!
