How to shop Fourth of July sales

A long-weekend sale, with Prime Day next door

Fourth of July sales run across the holiday weekend, and when the Fourth falls midweek they stretch to the nearest weekend. Prime Day usually lands within a couple of weeks: 16–17 July in 2024 and 8–11 July in 2025. In 2026, the year of the 250th Independence Day, Amazon moved Prime Day to 23–26 June instead.

Tools and appliances are the sleeper deals

Grills get the attention, but the deepest Fourth of July discounts are often on power tools and major appliances. In 2026 Home Depot had Ryobi up to 51% off and Milwaukee and DeWalt up to 45%, and Lowe's went from up to 35% off appliances on Memorial Day to up to 45% on the Fourth.

Grills and patio: halfway through the season

Grill prices on the Fourth are much like Memorial Day's: Traeger's Pro 22 was 29% off at Home Depot at both in 2026. If you want choice, buy now. If you want the lowest price and can wait, leftover stock usually gets cheapest around Labor Day.

Check before you buy

  • Large items: confirm delivery, assembly and haul-away costs before you compare prices.
  • "Up to 70% off": usually means a few items. Check the price of the one you want.
  • Prime Day: if it is close, compare. Amazon often undercuts on small appliances and tech.

Add a tested code

Many brands add a holiday code on top of the sale price. We only list a code after it works at a real checkout.
