Attention
online bargain hunters: it’s time to get “primed” for some explosive deals this
month.

As we celebrate Independence Day, retailers are rolling out big
bargains. Don’t click buy without checking with Consumer Reports for the best
ways to save on top-rated products.

This month kicks off with 4th of July
sales on big-ticket items like grills, mattresses and major appliances.

Keep
things cool with the top-rated LG LFCS22520S
French-door refrigerator. It
earned high marks in CR’s lab tests for temperature control and noise, and
right now it’s more than $600 off at The Home Depot.

If
you want to sleep tight this summer on a new mattress, check out the Leesa
Legend Hybrid,which is on
sale for under $2,000 on the company’s website. CR tests found that Leesa’s
combo of innersprings and foam is great for back sleepers.

There’s been plenty of buildup to Prime Day, which runs from
July 8th to the 11th. Just about everything is on sale for Prime Day, and
plenty of other retailers have competing sales at the same time.

If you want to
upgrade your TV, check out the Amazon
55-inch 4K TV from
its Omni series, which is now $700 on Amazon. It’s a QLED model with a Mini LED
backlight, which CR’s testing has found can help boost contrast and improve
black levels.

And
if you’re ready to soak up the sun this July, don’t forget the sunscreen! The pricey
La
Roche-Posay Sunscreen Milkis a favorite of skin care influencers and CR testers. It’s almost $10
off at Walmart right now.

Because what’s better than saving a little green while
celebrating the red, white and blue? Happy Fourth of July and happy shopping!

And with August just around the corner, like it or not, it’ll
be time for back-to-school shopping!
