Fourth of July Weekend

On July 4, 1776, the United States of America broke free from British rule. That's right, the land of the free and the home of the brave went solo only a short 241 years ago.

Every year around the U.S., Americans celebrate Independence Day by firing up the grill and gobbling up classic foods like hot dogs and hamburgers. After spending hours enjoying the warm sunshine, Americans end the day with a colorful display of fireworks.

Fun fact: Fireworks are part of the festivities because of John Adams, a founding father of the nation. On July 3, 1776, he wrote to his wife, Abigail, that the occasion should be celebrated with "... Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."

Joining the celebration is easy even if you don't live in the U.S. Lucky for you, retailers love offering discounts on merchandise during this holiday, and you can take advantage of them all with Borderlinx.

Shopping Fourth of July Weekend: Sales to Expect

The Fourth of July may be a one-day celebration, but sales are firing up the entire holiday weekend. Some stores begin advertising deals up to a week before the holiday, and they don't necessarily end on July 4. You could find some deals spilling over a few days past the holiday.

Here are some categories you should definitely look out for if you're bargain-hunting this month.

  • Summer Clothing

    You'll see the biggest savings on summer apparel with retailers offering up to 50% discounts. Some, like 6PM, have even hit the 88% mark! So enjoy the warm weather with some new threads to keep you cool.

  • Outdoor Gear

    It's a beautiful time to be outside and retailers, like Dick's Sporting Goods and Back Country, are slashing prices on the gear you need to make the most of it. Find camping equipment, hiking gear and more.

  • Swimwear

    Swimsuit season is halfway over, but good deals are just heating up. Last year, Victoria's Secret offered up to 60% off its coveted swimsuit line. Check out Macy's and similar department stores for deep discounts.

Tip: If you're looking for deals on laptops, wait until next month when they go on sale during the U.S.'s Back-to-School season.
