It is also discounting specific items like Rubbermaid storage sheds, Miracle-Gro garden soil, and Iris smart home products. Even better, many of these items will be on sale past the holiday to July 9.
Macy’s
As the sponsor of New York City’s annual fireworks extravaganza, Macy’s has long been associated with Independence Day. As such, it’s fitting that the department store has a big sale each year. It is discounting items in every department. Plus, you can get an extra 25% off if you donate $3 towards helping veterans and their families, or get up to an extra 20% off using coupon code “FOURTH.”
Kohl’s
It may seem like Kohl’s is always having a sale, but its Fourth of July Sale will its biggest of the summer. Expect discounts of up to 80% off, with summer clothing at clearance-level prices. To sweeten the pot even more, you can expect to score Kohl’s Cash when purchasing many items.
Amazon
Amazon may not have a big Fourth of July sale, but as a prelude to its annual Prime Day, it will be rolling out promotional deals to entice customers to purchase Prime membership. As such, look for discounts on items directly related to the perks included with a Prime membership.
Kmart
In addition to a bevy of seasonal items on discount, look for Kmart to offer coupons for additional discounts. If this year is anything like last year, expect $5 off purchases of $50 or more and $10 off purchases of $100 or more.
HP
Last year, HP had one of the strongest Fourth of July sales when it came to tech. If it follows suit this year, expect the store to take up to 50% off items including laptops, desktops, printers, monitors, and more when it launches its sale June 28.
