Memorial Day marked the start of a string of major shopping sales events. With Amazon Prime Day just around the corner, we’re breaking down the major shopping events to expect for the remainder of the year, so you can get planning.

The Remaining Major Sales of 2024

Planning ahead can go a long way in saving you money. Knowing exactly when you’ll have a chance to score the best deals can help those savings add up. Here’s what to expect through the rest of the year:

Amazon Prime Day

The first Prime Day event of the year takes place in July and usually has discounts across every category, including tech, everyday essentials, and school supplies. You’ll also find deals on some of Amazon’s own devices, including smart speakers and displays, security cameras, tablets, and everyday essentials.

Labor Day

During the fall event, you’ll find end-of-season sales on patio furniture, grills, yard tools, and gardening supplies, summer apparel, laptops, TVs, and mattresses.

Amazon Prime Day 2

Amazon has launched a Prime Day-like event in the fall for a few years, and we anticipate this trend will continue, with deals on major electronics and home goods leading up to the holiday sales season.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday

What used to be two different shopping events has undergone a transformation over the years and has now morphed into a weeklong event of incredible deals for shoppers looking for discounts on everything from TVs, video game consoles, laptops, and other top tech to apparel, fitness equipment, home goods, small appliances, toys, and more, both online and in-store.

Shopping Tips to Make the Most of Internet Sales

Money is a finite resource, and finding the balance between spending and saving can be a challenge. Here are some shopping tips that can help you get the things you need while holding onto more of your cash:

Plan to Shop Major Shopping Events

If you’re looking for ways to save cash on big-ticket items, your best bet will often be to shop during major shopping events throughout the year. Often retailers will compete with one another, which may drive down the price of popular items.

Set a Budget Before the Event

While it can be exciting to find a surprise deal on something you didn’t expect, be aware of your spending habits. Budget for the things you would definitely like to have, and go ahead and set aside a little cushion in your budget for those impulse buys that may crop up.

Look for Ways to Skip Shipping Fees

Multiple retailers offer ways to save on shipping, whether that’s a minimum cost threshold, a membership perk, or even taking advantage of in-store or curbside pickup. By taking the time to find ways to skip shipping costs, you’ll ensure that the savings you earn stay in your pocket instead of getting absorbed into costly shipping and handling fees.

Save on shipping costs and keep your savings intact.

Check for Extra Savings Opportunities

Sometimes you can find additional coupons or promo codes to maximize your savings. You can also become a member for added perks at many retailers. Some cost money to join, like the My Best Buy Plus and Total tiers, but others may be free to join and still offer exclusive rewards, benefits, or discounts that make it worth signing up.

By following these tips and staying informed about upcoming shopping events, you’ll be well on your way to scoring massive savings on top brands and having a happy wallet by the end of the year!
