Select editor Justin Krajeski recently purchased this Pottery Barn bookcase for his studio apartment. It has a slim silhouette and is constructed from steel — its legs also sit on anti-slip pads to keep the shelf in place and prevent floor damage. Krajeski said the bookcase — which has four shelves — can house around eight books. It’s available in a black or white finish and comes with mounting hardware.
At about 10 inches wide and 12 inches tall, Breville’s compact juicer is one of the brand’s smaller models, allowing you to keep it on your countertop or tucked away in a pantry if you have limited kitchen space. It extracts juice using a stainless steel cutting disc surrounded by micro mesh and sports a 3-inch-wide shoot on top to drop whole fruits and vegetables into, eliminating the need to cut them beforehand, the brand says. The juicer comes with a 25-ounce juice jug that has a built-in froth separator and a cleaning brush.
The Brooklinen Down Comforter comes in three weights depending on your sleeping preferences, and all three versions are on sale during Fourth of July weekend.

The down comforter is stuffed with a down cluster fill and has a cotton sateen shell. The brand says the comforter is treated with antimicrobials and is equipped with loops on every corner to attach a duvet cover.

Below, we rounded up sales across reader favorite categories to shop this holiday weekend.
Summer is full of sales, from Memorial Day at the end of May to Labor Day in early September, and Fourth of July sales — as well as Amazon Prime Day and adjacent retailer offerings — are scattered in between. Cullen said this allows shoppers to budget and spread out their purchases throughout the season.
However, there are some specific product categories experts recommend keeping an eye on during July Fourth sales specifically, which typically start around July 1, said Vipin Porwal, founder and consumer savings expert at cashback browser extension Smarty. He noted that portable and window air conditioners are usually on sale during July Fourth sales, as well as other types of cooling products like fans and other air quality items like air purifiers. Many Americans travel and spend time outside during the summer, so retailers often discount hiking, camping and fishing gear, as well as pools, outdoor toys and games. Porwal suggested looking for these types of products at big box retailers or sporting goods stores, which he said often host “huge weekend sales on these items.”
Clothing and footwear is also commonly on sale during Fourth of July weekend. “Online shoppers should be on the lookout for sitewide sales at popular branded clothing stores to feature summer clothing for children and babies, swimwear and beachwear,” Porwal said. He also recommended browsing sales at activewear-focused retailers.
As for products you may want to wait on purchasing until later this year, Porwal said most back-to-school sales kick in between late July and August. That’s when you’ll find a bigger selection of laptops, tablets, computers and other school-related tech for lower prices. Fall fashion is also likely to be discounted later in the summer into autumn. Porwal noted that 2022 Tax Holidays and student discounts can also help shoppers save when it comes to back-to-school purchases.
Amazon Prime Day 2022 takes place on July 12 and 13, which is only a week after the July Fourth weekend. In addition to Amazon, many of the larger retailers that host July Fourth sales also usually have them around Prime Day as well, like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Lowe’s and Kohls. But while July Fourth sales extend to all shoppers, Amazon Prime Day sale is only open to Prime members. Because of that, July Fourth is the largest summer sales event of the year, Porwal said.
If you plan to shop on Amazon during Prime Day, Porwal said that you can expect to find deep discounts on Amazon products like Kindles, Fire tablets and TVs and Alexa-enabled devices. Some of these products may also be on sale during July Fourth sales, but prices won’t be as low as they will be during Prime Day, he said. Overall, the period that spans July Fourth weekend through Prime Day is when shoppers should expect to see lower prices than any other time this summer, Porwal said. If you have an immediate shopping need or there is something you’ve been keeping your eye on, now is probably the best time to buy this season, experts told us.
