Do you know what to buy in July? Do you know what you definitely should NOT buy in July?

This goes for food, clothing, furniture, vehicles and almost everything.

Christmas in July: Think Black Friday (-ish) pricing in July. Sales extend throughout July and many stores drop prices to semi annual lows.

Back to School: Yes, I know school JUST let out, but now is the time to start stocking up for back to school! Clearance: Believe it or not, many stores will be starting to clearance their summer inventory to make room for fall. Check out Lowe’s, Home Depot, Amazon and basically any major retailer during the month of July and you’ll find deals for dad.

Air Fair – Sometimes you can find good deals on air fare in July. Seems strange, but flights need to be filled and everyone is traveling! .

Laptops – Some back to school laptop sales start in July much to every teacher’s dismay.

PC Games – Many PC games go on sale during the month of July.

Air Conditioners – “On average, air conditioner deals we saw last July were 16% cheaper than deals we saw in June, and 14% cheaper than deals we saw in August. ” – Deal News
