I track deals for a living: Here are the only 4th of July sales sitting in my shopping cart
Epic sales from Lululemon, Best Buy and more
4th of July celebrations usually involve fireworks, trips to the beach, or backyard barbecues. However, as deals editor-in-chief at Tom's Guide, for me Independence Day is all about the 4th of July sales. To be fair, 4th of July isn't the biggest retail holiday, but it's still a great opportunity to score deals on any big ticket purchases you need to make.
If you're shopping on a budget, Amazon Haul has 4th of July sales from $3. Amazon Haul is Amazon's bargain storefront and while it's generally populated by off-brand accessories, if you dig around you'll find great deals on brand-name apparel like Adidas, New Balance, and Under Armour. Styles can sometimes be limited, but if you're flexible you'll find deals that are cheaper than they are via Amazon direct.
Another deal I think worth mentioning is Walmart Plus for just $49/year. That's 50% off its full price and a rare sale that Walmart only offers twice a year. Below I've rounded up my favorite 4th of July sales on TVs, apparel, appliances, and more. Want more deals? Make sure to check out the Tom's Guide Savings Squad for more personal recommendations.

We gave this device an excellent 4-star rating in our Acer Chromebook Spin 514 review, because it performs well in pretty much every category — it runs fast, it has long battery life and it's got a gorgeous display. Sure, it's one of the more expensive Chromebooks out there, but at a discount it's a great buy.

While that is an excellent deal, we have tracked a small MSRP increase on the classic, which, until a few days ago, was priced at $2,139. Still $400 is the best deal you'll get on the best hybrid mattress we've tested.

Side sleepers account for roughly 60-70% of all sleepers and the Helix Midnight Luxe is our favorite mattress for those who prefer this popular sleep position.

The Stilosa is De'Longhi's most affordable espresso machine. My colleague Erin Bashford, an ex-barista, gave it a lovely 4 stars in her review, and although it looks pretty plastic, it actually makes a mean cup. The model's Panarello steam wand may not be versatile enough to impress you if you're after Instagrammable latte art, though.

TVs
The QM5K has built-in Google TV features for all of your streaming needs, plus Dolby Vision support. Its handiest feature is its Mini-LED backlighting, which is difficult to find at this price point.
