Independence Day is when we celebrate our country’s freedom. Many of us also get to enjoy the 4th of July holiday with a vacation from work, offering plenty of opportunities for fun, rest, and relaxation. It’s also the perfect time to celebrate your freedom to save. Read on for our top tips!
If you’re planning to entertain this summer, check out deals on home and garden merchandise. From patriotic décor and lawn furniture to gardening supplies and grills, department stores have great sales on these items at this time of year. Check out major department stores in your area for great holiday savings. Specialty items for the pool and beach are usually on sale by the time 4th of July rolls around, too.
Don’t forget food, drinks, and snacks. Make sure to stock up on barbecue favorites such as hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken, drinks, and chips while they’re on sale. You can also buy these items in bulk from a shopping club. Then, you’re certain to have plenty for guests when the grilling season or special event rolls around.

Swimwear, shorts, and sandals have been drastically reduced in price by the time 4th of July arrives. Take advantage of these markdowns. Not only can you and your family members enjoy a fashionable summer wardrobe this year, but you can purchase items for next year, too. Summer jewelry and handbags can be also found at great prices this time of year as retailers begin making room for back-to-school merchandise.
And then there are electronics and appliances. Probably not something you typically consider during the summer season, but it is a great time of year to purchase this type of merchandise at reduced prices. From televisions and refrigerators to mixers or printers, don’t discount the opportunity to save!
Don’t forget that you can save on your seasonal allergy and other medications during the summer season. Use your FamilyWize discount prescription drug card and maximize your savings on your prescription needs. Get your free card or download the app here.
