Amazon
Whether you use it in your kitchen, bedroom, guest room or even as a monitor, this 24-inch Insignia Smart TV has all the bells and whistles of a much bigger TV, but for just $90.

That includes massive savings on famous Coach bags, like the best-selling Zip Top Tote in Signature Canvas. On sale for 61% off and just $109, down from $279, it's got a roomy interior ideal for toting your laptop, your makeup bag — and all the cash you just saved. Available in three gorgeous shades.
QVC
QVC is a reliable source for deals year-round, but today is truly one for the history books. One of the biggest markdowns is on a pair of Clarks Cloudsteppers — these have an adorable bow and are impossibly soft, so we bet you won't be satisfied with just a single pair. They also hardly take up any space in a carry-on, making them the perfect shoes to take with you for your summer travels. Don't forget: You can score $15 off your first QVC order with code OFFER.
HSN
This 4th of July, the only thing that should be cooking are burgers on the grill. Avoid getting burned and give yourself a safe, shimmering tan with this foolproof mousse from Tan Luxe. Packed with hydrating vitamins, raspberry seed oil and aloe vera, it deepens the color of your skin in four to six hours. Smooth on the lightweight, foamy formula in the morning before you hit the pool, and you'll have suntanned legs before you hit the beach.
Target
While Target has no shortage of deals at any time of year, the retailer has pulled out all the stops for July 4. One of the biggest markdowns is on this stunning fire pit, which effortlessly adds a touch of class to any outdoor tabletop you're working with. It's easy to set up, and provides just the right amount of flame for even a small space. After-dinner s'mores, anyone?
Walmart
Over 50% off —that's how affordable this best-selling TCL Roku Smart TV is during Walmart's stellar July 4th sale. Why is it so popular, you might ask? Well, in addition to its sparkling HD display, it's equipped with the most straightforward user interface ever. No more scrolling back and forth from app to app, trying to remember which one lets you watch Law & Order: SVU for free. Your MFSP (most frequently streamed programs) get saved on your home screen for instant access. The remote also has fewer than half the buttons most remotes have. Our input? Excellent!
Home Depot
Home Depot might not be at the top of your list of places to shop for a new mattress, but it should be. The retailer has an expansive selection of options, and many are on sale right now for the 4th of July. This Lucid gel-infused foam mattress is arguably the biggest steal of the bunch, at $268 off. It's 10 inches thick, infused with cooling gel, and ventilated throughout so it won't feel stuffy, even on hot nights like these.
Amazon Fashion
Amazon is, of course, the place where you can get just about everything — and that includes a wide variety of wardrobe essentials — on sale! What's more popular and necessary right now than a pair of adventure-ready sneakers? You can expect to save big on a ton of styles, including our favorite comfy kicks, the STQ Women's Fashion Sneakers.
Backcountry
Have a camping trip lined up for this summer? Backcountry has virtually everything you need for the ultimate trek (or hike, or ski, or surf...basically any sort of outdoor activity). One standout? This inflatable sleeping pad for two. Unfurl it for a comfy night's sleep, then deflate it and roll it up to get on with your adventures.
Nordstrom
Stop your search: The ultimate wear-everywhere summer dress is right here. It has a pretty V-neckline, an empire waist and flowy, fluttery skirt. Pair with sandals, heels or even a pair of sneakers — there's no wrong way to wear this effortless frock.
Are you a Nordstrom cardholder? Select cardholders can start shopping the sale early, on July 6, before it opens to everyone on the 15th.
REI
Leggings with pockets —what could be better? Well, leggings with pockets for 50% off. This durable, opaque REI pair is just $35 now during the outdoor outfitters' July 4th sale. They come in seven colors (including black and gray in case lilac isn't your thing). Some workout pants that cost over $100 need to be treated like delicates. Consider these the hiking boots of athletic wear. The only reason you need to line-dry them is if you're doing the wash in the creek by your campsite.
Wayfair
Whether you need to zhuzh up your patio, cozy up your bedroom or make your kitchen a place you actually want to be in, Wayfair's July 4th sale is going to make it easy (and cheaper!) to do just that.

These Clarks sandals come in 20 colors and are comfy enough, according to one satisfied shopper, to get your feet through an entire day at Walt Disney World unscathed. (The Theme Park Test is the true test for any shoe that claims to be comfortable.) No blisters, no problems.
Kate Spade
Nothing says "class" like a Kate Spade bag.
