July is finally here, which means trips to the beach, hiking excursions and more. But July is also one of the best months for shopping deals. That’s right—there are so many sales on high-end essentials including luggage, Instant Pots and more. That’s why we spoke to retail expert Jeanel Alvarado, who is the founder and CEO of RetailBoss. She told us the best things to buy in July, to help you gauge what to upgrade, replace and splurge on right now.
“July is one of the best times of year for smart shoppers to score great deals,” Alvarado says. “Retailers are eager to sell products with lower demand during the summer, which means you’ll find deep discounts.”
