Summer is officially here! There’s sun, there’s sand, and there are definitely sales. Beyond the typical July 4th discounts and back-to-school offerings, there are plenty of seasonal sales events that you probably have never heard of (or if you did, maybe they slipped past you).
GOBankingRates asked Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, Rakuten‘s shopping and savings strategist, for recommendations. Here are her four best summer sales you’ve never heard of.
Walmart Rollbacks
“Walmart Rollbacks offers up to 50% off electronics, kitchen appliances and outdoor gear from July 8th to the 13th,” Feinstein Gerstley shared. “It’s a great way to snag more home upgrades and summer fun items at steep discounts.”
Feinstein Gerstley recommended the SUGIFT Electric Pressure Washer, 3500 PSI Max 110V, 2.6 GPM Max on sale for $90 (typically $407, $160 at Target), as well as the Apple Airport Pros 2 on sale for $169 (from $249) and Ninja Creamy Ice Cream Maker on sale for $169 from $199 as your best bet for deals.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Running from July 12 to August 3, Feinstein Gerstley described how the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale “… is beloved by shoppers for offering new arrivals and staples at rare markdowns before prices go back up.”
Shoppers can preview the sale here, but Feinstein Gerstley, who is a fan of Rothy’s, recommended Rothy’s Mary Janes on sale for $89.99, down from $159, and added that she’s been living this summer for the Beyond Yoga Bike Shorts on sale for $44.99, which were originally $68.
Target Circle Week
“Target Circle Week, running from July 6th through the 12th, includes major savings like buy one, get one 50% off kids’ and toddler basics,” said Feinstein Gerstley, highlighting that it is perfect for back-to-school shopping while staying on budget.
“Kids’ and toddlers’ basics are buy one, get 50% off. Great for back to school,” Feinstein Gerstley pointed out to any parents looking to get a jump start on their fall shopping.
Rakuten’s the Big Stack
“From July 7-11, Rakuten is running its annual Big Stack event where shoppers can stack an additional 10% Cash Back on top of the season’s best deals across hundreds of top retailers,” Feinstein Gerstley said. “Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe, upgrading patio furniture, or stocking up on your favorite beauty essentials, it’s the perfect way to double down on summer savings.”
Average price varies by retailer, Feinstein Gerstley described, but customers can stack an extra 10% cash back on top of existing deals. “I’m eyeing the 65% cash back on Factor Meals and 15% cash back on Dermstore to replenish my EltaMD sunscreen,” Feinstein Gerstley shared.
