Nordstrom
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale doesn’t open to the public until this Saturday, July 12. But you can start saving now with these early deals on home goods, skin care, beauty tools, and sneakers—so many sneakers. Hoka’s flat foot-friendly Arahi 7 and Nike’s of-the-moment V2K running shoe are both included in the pre-sale, but sizes and colors are going fast. Add your pair to cart before someone else snaps them up.
Best Buy
When we talk about deals at Best Buy, we’re really talking about some of the best tech deals on the internet. You can go small and save on earbuds from Bose, or go big and snag a smart TV for a big chunk of change less than usual (what better way to watch the Love Island US finale?)
Got Apple deals specifically on the brain? You’ve come to the right place—we’ve spotted AirTags, the Apple Watch Series SE, and more key pieces from the brand marked down at Best Buy.
Walmart
The tech-y goodness continues with Walmart’s deals this week—check out wireless headphones from Sony, Samsung Galaxy Watches, and Bluetooth speakers. But this sale doesn’t end at the electronics aisle. Kitchen appliances like KitchenAid’s beloved stand mixer are also discounted for a limited time (and we’d recommend jumping on that KitchenAid ASAP—when there’s such a good deal on this bad boy, it doesn’t stick around for long).
Dyson
The Dyson summer sale has basically brought Black Friday to July. Site-exclusive deals on the brand’s sleek stick vacuums abound—we’ve gone on record saying they’re worth the splurge at their regular prices, so naturally we’d recommend scooping one up while it’s a couple hundred dollars off.
If the recent heat waves have drawn your attention to a subpar home cooling setup, consider one of Dyson’s air purifier-fan combos. They’re super quiet and impressively powerful.
REI
Adventurous folks can always find high-quality outdoor deals at REI Co-Op, especially in its outlet section, where markdowns can be as big as 40% off. Just a quick scroll through the retailer’s clearance drums up major brands like Altra, Osprey, Patagonia, and more. You can gear up for a summer hike and nab a puffer for next season in one fell swoop.
Ulta
Ulta’s big summer beauty sale has deals of all sorts ready to peruse. Shark hair styling tools are $100 off; jumbo beauty supplies are 40% off; certain items come with a BOGO deal. In other words, however you like to save on your skin care and hair care, Ulta is your one-stop shop.
Lululemon
The activewear finds are good—like, very good—at Lululemon’s Summer Scores event. The brand’s We Made Too Much section is overflowing with fan faves like the Align Pant and Scuba Half-Zip. This is another situation where specific sizes and colorways are selling fast, so make your purchases sooner rather than later.
