Did you know that there are different things on sale each month of the year?
I have a Month to Month Shopping Guide that lists the best items to buy each month to save money!
Here I am highlighting the best items to buy this month!
July
July 4th is Independence Day and there are many great sales this weekend on everything from food to clothing to mattresses.
July 5th is National Hop a Park Day. What’s your favorite Twin Cities park?
July 8th is Cow Appreciation Day. Visit a dairy farm!
July 8th is also National Freezer Pop Day.
July 8th – 11th is when Amazon’s PRIME DAY is in 2025. This is the BEST time to get Amazon devices (Fire Sticks, tablets, etc.) and many other goods. Shop here!
July 14th is National Macaroni and Cheese Day.
July 16th is National Hot Dog Day.
July 20th is National Ice Cream Day! (It’s the 3rd Sunday in July.) Look for ice cream deals and freebies.
July 25th is National Wine and Cheese Day.
July 28th is National Waterpark Day. We love Lost Island Waterpark in Waterloo, Iowa!
Look for deals on these days!
What to Buy in July
July is the best time to buy:
4th of July items. Decorations, clothing and anything else that’s patriotic.
Back to school supplies debut (woohoo, right?). Great time to stock up on office supplies.
Furniture! Great deals as stores make room for new lines. But try to watch for 4th of July sales when prices are best. If you miss sales this month, there will be more on labor day weekend.
Month-to-month gym memberships (Gyms are more negotiable now to keep numbers up, which dip in the summer)
What NOT to Buy in June
Avoid large outdoor items like grills, patio furniture and lawn mowers as they’re in such high demand now, and thus pricier (if you can wait). HOWEVER, there are often sales on July 4th, so if you get them this month, get them then. They’ll be marked down starting now through summer and even more so later this summer.
