Looking for 4th of July deals on menswear or mattresses? GQ Recommends has you covered.
The Best 4th of July Tech and Appliance Sales
Amazon: Amazon’s biggest sales are usually reserved for its tentpole events, like Prime Day or Cyber Week—but rest assured, the retailer has more than a few tech and appliance deals going on this weekend. (We’re eyeing this specialty home projector optimized for laid-back sports watching.) If there’s an item you’ve had in your cart for awhile but haven’t pulled the trigger on yet, it’s worth heading over to the site to see if the price dropped.
Apple: Apple isn’t running a formal 4th of July sale, but if you’re a student or educator you can snag free AirPods with the purchase of select Mac and iPad models. (FYI: The Apple Watch Series 6—the latest version—is currently on sale at Amazon, too.)
