The Fourth of July weekend is basically here, and, for better or for worse, the harsh summer weather is too. To help keep you cool and save you some coins while doing it, we’ve unearthed the best deals on the internet this week, from Amazon and Walmart to Merrell and Wayfair, and they’re loaded with heat-beating favorites just in time for the weekend of fireworks and cookouts.
Below are the most wallet-friendly markdowns we discovered for the holiday weekend, including steals on items to make your life outdoors a little more comfortable.
The Real Deal: We use deal trackers and commerce experience to sift through “fake” hike-and-drop deals and other deceptive sales tactics. Products will usually be rated at least 4 stars with a minimum 15% discount. (And when there’s an exception, we’ll tell you why.)
A handy mosquito repellent that's perfect for summer (up to 25% off)
Thermacell's discounted rechargeable mosquito repeller is a compact pod that emits an odorless oil aimed to repel mosquitoes up to 20 feet from its placement. Nice of all, it has a fast-charging dock to set it on, plus it gives you up to 6.5 hours of power in a single use. Perfect for summertime hangs and keeping those pesky buggers away, nab it at 35% off.
An undeniably pretty summer dress you can wear anywhere (70% off)
Your summer dress collection could use a little more variety. This yellow Anthropologie frock is a perfect contender.

It's available in sizes XXS to XXL and you can get an extra 50% off its current sale price. That drops this beauty down to $70 — a major steal at Anthropologie.
Anthro's got some pretty good deal across a ton of inventory so be sure to poke around the site. A snapshot below:
A 1-year subscription to Walmart+ services, for free delivery, Paramount+ and so much more (50% off list price)
Walmart is offering the best deal we’ve seen for a subscription service in a while: 50% off a Walmart+ membership. Typically $12.95 monthly or $98 annually, you can sign up for only $6.47 per month or $49 for the year right now. This is a major deal for folks looking for an Amazon alternative, or a grocery delivery system that can help save you time and money, and trips to the department store!
For the uninitiated, Walmart+ is a service that offers exclusive benefits for its members, like no-minimum free shipping, free delivery on groceries and local in-store items (sometimes same-day, depending on your store), a free subscription to Paramount+, early access to sales events like Black Friday and summer deals, savings of up to 10 cents per gallon on fuel, free at-home returns and much, much more.

Promising review (for water fun): "For the price, these are hard to beat. We recently took two pairs of these with us to Hawaii and used them in the lazy river, the pool, and the ocean itself and they held up. No tears or anything, and water flows easily through as well as sand. Well worth the price!" — Michael
Promising review (for gardening): "Great everyday slip-ons. I order them to run around the house, yard & garden... not water shoes, all though they would be good for that as well." — R51
A toy puzzle for staying mentally fit AND having fun (38% off)
If you think games, particularly screen-free ones, are just for kids, you may be missing out. In fact, strengthening your brain with “mentally active” sedentary behavior can actually reduce your risk of dementia, according to experts (not to mention keep you off your phone). If you need a fun but reasonably challenging game to get started, Kanoodle has enchanted our newsroom as of late. But right now, you can get the "Cosmic" version of this 3-D logic puzzle game for less than $9 — the lowest price it's ever been at Amazon and Walmart. This is perfect when you need some summer fun away from the sunshine.

Joybird was founded to sell custom-made furniture inspired by mid-century modern design.

It’s summertime, so if you’ve got beach days, park picnics and backyard hangs on the mind, we found something to optimize that outdoor time: a cooler backpack that actually keeps your food organized. Instead of digging through a puddle of melting ice for a squished sandwich, or worse, pulling along so much weight through jagged and soft sand, this Ninja FrostVault has a separate compartment for snacks that’ll keep them “dry and cool, like it is in a refrigerator.” Even better, this luxe-looking Ninja is also on an unbeatable sale right now: up to 50% off. $100 isn’t such a bad price for something that can hold a whopping 24 cans of bevvies!

A pair of wide-leg, gardener cropped jeans (up to 55% off)
Everlane is marking an additional 15% off all women's and men's sale sections right now, which is, obviously, a huge deal. We spotted these wide-leg gardener jeans that are proof of that; they're up to 55% off depending on color. They're stylish, sitting at the waist and cropped way above the ankle for a nice roomy fit, perfect for keeping cool on warm days. They're available in three colors and in women's sizes 23-33.
The already on-sale price knocks these down by 40%, and the extra 15% off makes them so much more affordable.
Perhaps one of the most well-designed coffee makers ever made (35% off)
Nothing is quite as motivating in the morning as a good cup of coffee. But if you're looking for an upgrade to add even more delight to your daily ritual, let an aesthetically pleasing coffee machine be the reason. The Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV 10-cup coffee maker, aka, the “Rolls-Royce of coffee machines,” which you may have seen all over social media, is currently up to 35% off in one of its many colors, and shoppers swear it'll give you a cafe-quality drink with every brew.

Some bestselling Jungle Mocs (up to 40% off list price)
The Jungle Moc comes in regular, half and wide sizes as well as in a variety of neutral, easy-to-style colors. High-quality leather uppers even give you wiggle room to dress it up a tad. HuffPost’s sales editor, Kevin Cortez, said that he’s “owned four pairs at once, and with so many colors, it’s tough finding one you won’t vibe with.” Cortez also noted that his Mocs are “probably some of the most comfortable slip-ons I’ve ever worn.” He added that “they feel snug yet super comfy.” Grab these must-haves while they're 25% off in women's sizes 5-11.
A reacher you don't think you'll need until you drop something (28% off)
Ask me how I know? 🫠 Truly, I've been there and I must say, buying a reacher has helped me a million times more beyond the time I bought one to reach the dryer sheets I dropped behind my washing machine. This one doesn't just grab bigger items; it's also designed to pick up even tinier items that might be difficult to grab off of the floor (like pennies) no matter how good your mobility is. Lots of reviewers buy this to reach up high and pick up things down low. It's especially handy to reviewers who are recovering from surgeries.
Amazon says it's on sale is 38% off but per our trackers, the savings are really closer to 28% which still makes this a great under $10 purchase.
Promising review: "Handy! Can’t believe I’ve never owned one before. My sister has one and I was like what is that? Where’d you get that?! I didn’t even know these existed. This has really come in handy in the kitchen and laundry room, and I’ve also bought another to keep in my closet. Not for heavy things really, but so convenient, quick, lightweight and simple to use." — Picky Shopper
An umbrella to make your backyard fun way more comfortable (35% off)
This patio umbrella doesn't just provide shade; it actually provides UPF 50+ protection to help prevent sun damage more thoroughly. You can also snag it in a ton of colors to suit your yard, pool or patio vibe as part of Wayfair’s Fourth of July sale.
Some popular waterproof walking shoes perfect for snow (28% off)
These Siren Edge walking shoes have a waterproof membrane to keep out moisture, but is still breathable with a mesh lining. It's popular for hiking, but reviewers also love it for everyday walking, especially in the winter when snow and slush pile up. Nab a pair in women's sizes 5-11 for 28% off.

Tip: The Wayfair sale may end in a week, but the black version of this ottoman already sold out. Grab this gorgeous color before it's gone too. 👀
A secret weapon for getting the PERFECT smash burgers (and more) at the cookout this weekend (33% off)
It's not too late to elevate your grilling game for Memorial Day and beyond! This easy-to-use press is good for grills, griddles and pressing various meats (including ensuring perfectly elongated bacon with good heat distribution). It's 33% off with Prime!
A Waterpik water flosser that's actually cheap this week (34% off)
Water flossers are a popular dental hygiene tool for many, and Waterpik is one of the most recognizable names in the game. The brand’s American Dental Association-approved tools are highly regarded by reviewers for their effective plaque-busting abilities. Still, some of the more heavy-duty models can occupy more real estate, making them inconvenient for smaller bathrooms and unfeasible for traveling.
Luckily, this streamlined option is available at Amazon right now — Waterpik’s cordless “Pulse” model — for less than $35, 34% off its typical price of $49.99. It's also at a less-than-average price at Walmart right now, in case you prefer shopping there instead.
A portable upholstery cleaning device that's “literally an eraser” against stains (41% off)
HuffPost readers should already know the legend of the Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner — an extremely popular portable cleaning device that can easily soak and suck up spills from carpets and upholstery. Well, today, we actually found something that reviewers say is “much more powerful” than the Little Green guy, and it’s even cheaper.
Eureka’s portable upholstery cleaner is slightly larger and stronger than the Deluxe version of Bissell’s Little Green, with reviewers deeming it “literally an eraser” against pet stains, spills and accidents. It has separate clean and dirty water tanks for a longer cleaning time, a lengthy hose so you can reach stains without lugging it around and a flexible hose you can wrap around it when finished for easy storage. Right now, it’s on sale at a big 40% off the list price. Just clip that on-page coupon.
Some trail running shoes for agile runs and hikes (40% off)
Merrell's Agility Peak 5s are for trail running and agile hiking, built lightweight and with a mesh upper for high breathability and moisture-wicking. These shoes have a rock plate, which is designed to protect your feet from debris and rugged terrain, plus they have a toe cap to block accidental stubs.
These are 40% off in men's sizes 7-15 and women's sizes 5-11 as part of Merrell's current sumemr sale.
Promising review: “Move over Hoka, the speed goat has nothing on this shoe! Cushioning in all the right places makes for an amazing run. Add in the Vibram outsole and i never need another trail shoe. I also just wear these as my everyday sneaker because they are so comfortable.” — WestP
A Coleman leak-proof rolling cooler (20% off list price)
This insulated, wheeling cooler from Coleman is a must for outdoor entertaining. Users say it's great for parties (especially if your kitchen isn't close to your backyard) but people also use it for camping and long days at kids' sporting games. The main draw though, is the ice retention, with users saying they saw full ice cubes well after 24 hours. Grab it for 20% off.
The beloved Apple MagSafe charger back in stock and on sale (15% off)
Everybody knows it’s best to use proprietary Apple products to charge their Apple devices (or so says the company) when maintaining optimal battery life. However, that doesn’t stop some users from resorting to off-brand options — like the HuffPost reader-favorite 3-in-1 charger design — to save a few coins. But today, I’ve found a good deal for Apple purists and non-purists alike: the official Apple MagSafe charger is only $33 on Amazon right now, which is a 15% off deal.
A 20-pack of expert-recommended vacuum storage bags (28% off)
Summer is soon. If you find yourself staring down an enormous pile of woolly scarves, knit hats and puffy quilted jackets, wondering where the heck you’re going to find space to stash these items, you’re in luck. We have a problem-solving product (courtesy of a small-space organization expert) that’s on sale today for 28% off its typical price on Amazon: Cozy Essential’s 20-pack of vacuum-sealable storage bags.
HuffPost previously spoke with Never Too Small founder Colin Chee, who recommended these exact vacuum storage bags for getting oversized items to fit into nooks and crannies beneath furniture like beds or higher-profile sofas. “[They] are great for storing blankets or extra pillows for occasional use when you have visitors, as well as winter jackets during the off-season,” he said. “I store them in my large travel luggage, which is only used occasionally.”
The 20 polyethylene/polyamide bags come in one of five sizes: jumbo (about 39 by 27 inches), large (about 33 by 22 inches), medium (about 28 by 20 inches), and small (about 24 by 16 inches). You can remove the air from each of these double-zippered bags using the included hand pump. (The set also comes with four additional 24-by-16-inch “roll-up” bags that are intended to be compressed manually and aren’t equipped with the suction valve that’s used in conjuction with the pump – ideal for travel situations where you may not want to lug anything extra around.)
A popular — because it's SO chic — rattan chair and table set (22% off)
By "popular," we don't just mean trendy. We mean this Bay Isle chair and table set is nearly sold out in every color. The remaining color is this black option that should go with just about anything you've got going on in your outdoor space. Nab it while this option remains in stock as part of Wayfair’s Fourth of July sale.
200 mini wipes for lenses and tech (18% off list price)
Who doesn't hate dirty glasses? Right now, you can grab a box of 200, individually-wrapped, pre-moistened wipes from Wowflash for 30% off. Users call them “quick and convenient” and “a small must-have for anyone who wears glasses or uses devices with lenses!” And because of their compact size and versatility, once you buy a box, reviewers say you’ll start carrying them everywhere you go. Infused with a gentle but powerful cleaning formula, these wipes remove dirt, dust and smudges from glasses, sunglasses, goggles and binocular lenses and all sorts of screen-based tech. “The cleaning performance is excellent, leaving my lenses streak-free and clear every time,” one review said. “I also appreciate that they are safe for my lenses and don’t cause any scratches.”
Cozy, Kitsch silk pillowcases (20% off)
You'll need to be fast aout these because this is a lightning deal but the top-rated Kitsch silk pillowcases are 20% off right now in select colors. Get 'em while the getting is good!
