Best June sales: Father's Day deals include discounts on apparel, tools and more
Retail experts expect that shoppers can find solid deals on home improvement supplies this month, but less so on tech and appliances.
Garmin Forerunner 745
The Garmin Forerunner 745 is one of our favorite fitness trackers. It features health-monitoring features like wrist-based heart rate and sleep tracking. The fitness tracker also allows you to store music from streaming services on the device, which can connect to Bluetooth headphones for easy listening while on the go. If you find yourself out shopping, the Garmin Pay feature allows for contactless pay on the go. The brand says the device also has location tracking that allows you to stay safe by sharing your real-time location with select emergency contacts.
Bee’s Wrap Forest Floor Set of 5
If you’re hoping to reduce plastic use in the kitchen, Bee’s Wrap clothes are washable, reusable and form a tight seal like plastic wrap for packing lunches or leftovers. While the brand just had a sale around Earth Day, you can nab this set through REI for 25% off. This set of five, which perish after one year of use, includes one large, two medium and two small wraps.
Craftsman 26.5-inch 5-drawer Tool Cabinet
This 5-drawer tool cabinet can support up to 1500 pounds of tools, according to Craftsman. It features an internal locking system to keep your tools safe and comes with built-in wheels and a handlebar so you can maneuver it easily.
JBL Endurance Race TWS
These wireless earbuds have an IP67-certified water- and dustproof design and a 30 hour battery life according to JBL, which makes some of our favorite Bluetooth speakers. JBL says the earbuds were designed to alleviate discomfort and create a tighter seal in your ear while exercising. The earbuds offer an ambient sound awareness listening mode and can pair with the JBL app so you can easily adjust your earbud settings from your phone.
Personalized Wood Watch
This watch is handmade with Indonesian Blackwood and luminous hands so you can tell the time in the dark. The watch can be engraved with up to four lines of text on the back, and you can also order the watch with extra links if you need to adjust the size. The watch also comes with a complimentary tool to adjust the extra links with.
DudeRobe Luxury Hooded Men’s Robe
This men’s robe is designed more like a hoodie than a traditional robe, which means you won’t have to deal with floppy arms, according to DudeRobe. The robe has an extra inside pocket, and a belt that is permanently attached to the robe, so you don’t lose it. DudeRobe says the inside French Terry cotton is “comfy [and] extra absorbent.” You can also bundle with the DudeShorts or DudePants for a discount.

What to buy in June
“The first 2 weeks in June are all about the boys,” said Vipin Porwal, founder and consumer savings expert at cashback browser extension Smarty. Porwal said to look out for potential Father’s Day deals on power tools, cordless tool kits, tool storage and automotive tools. The discounts might reach as high as 50% off popular tool brands and these price cuts will extend to bargain brands as well. Additionally, Porwal said to look at other items that you might need to complete your “honey-do” project list, such as paints, building materials, fixtures and hardware. He advised these items could be discounted by 20% or more from a variety of retailers.
Additionally, Porwal said that Father’s Day sales will extend to both casual apparel and activewear and there will also be timely savings on outdoor sporting gear and equipment.
As workers return to offices, Porwal believes shoppers might find deals on office furniture, air fresheners and cleaning supplies. He warned that you should compare prices and models, as some of the items “may be older technology that retailers are looking to move.” However, if the discount matters to you more than the newest model, it may be a good time to jump on these items.
What to skip in June
Shoppers looking to purchase computers, tablets and similar tech may want to wait for better pricing during back-to-school sales in late July and August, Porwal said. Shoppers that missed out on larger appliance and mattress deals during Memorial Day will likely want to hold out until August during Labor Day sales events if they can help it. Porwal said that if any of those items are on your list sooner, you should keep your eye out for “special weekend sales at big box and home improvement retailers.”
