Best buys in July: Mattresses, large appliances, a charcoal grill

With Fourth of July sales wrapping up and Amazon’s Prime Day coming later this month, Consumer Reports says July is the perfect month to score big savings on some of its top-tested products.

Consumer Reports tracks the prices of many of its top-rated products all year long, so they know exactly when they go on deep discount. Here are top products to look out for in this month’s Best Time to Buy.

Mattress sales are associated with the Fourth of July. Look for sales on large appliances as well. Retailers start to roll out their July Fourth sales well ahead of the holiday and many deals continue through this week.

As we approach the middle of the month, make sure to mark your calendars for July 12 and 13. It’s Prime Day at Amazon, one of the best times of the year to shop. You’ll see deals comparable to Black Friday, and not just at Amazon. Other major retailers have sales as well.

But keep in mind that this price may drop for Prime Day.
