The 10 Best and Worst Retailers for Summer Savings
Looking for sure bets on finding some cool summer bargains? You can expect big sales from these 10 retailers, some of whom will offer more than 80 percent off clearance items during summer. Get ready for deals on patio furniture, shoes, computers and back-to-school supplies.
1. Walmart. It's no secret that Walmart is a great place for low-priced products any time of the year, but summer is especially thrifty, said Benjamin Glaser, features editor at DealNews.com. "Walmart is my top pick for summer deals because of the deep discounts and the broad range of goods they sell," he said. "There are great deals on everything from patio and dorm room furniture to back-to-school supplies." You can find discounts of 65 percent and more on summer favorites like patio furniture and kitchen appliances during the store's Labor Day sale, for instance, and patio items as low as $2.36.
2. Target. Here's another retailer that made its name on discounted items, and Target shoppers can expect some of their best summer deals at the discount giant. Target offers a virtual one-stop-shopping deal center, said Glaser, with deep discounts and clearance sales on items in a huge variety of categories. So if you missed its Black Friday in July Sale on July 10, don't worry, because deals will run straight through September, said Glaser.
