Slashing prices on homeware, kitchen items, clothing and beauty products, Macy’s is hosting a Black Friday in July sale with huge discounts that match those you would normally see around Thanksgiving. Brands like KitchenAid, Tommy Hilfiger and Martha Stewart Collection are participating, giving shoppers the opportunity to purchase thousands of high quality products at low prices. The sale is active through July 13.
While Macy’s typically holds a clearance event towards the end of the summer, Michael Bonebright, consumer analyst for DealNews.com, said this year’s sale is earlier and filled with “unusually good” discounts. He attributes the sale to Macy’s need to get rid of inventory it’s holding on to, which Bonebright said is a challenge many department stores across the country are facing in the midst of the coronavirus. Bonebright does not expect Macy’s July sale to impact its Black Friday sale in November, but urges shoppers to take advantage of great prices on items like Instant Pots and designer watches.

Deals to look out for, according to an expert
Shoppers should expect to see the biggest discounts on Macy’s exclusive items and spring products, especially clothing. Bonebright said Macy’s is offering a pair of diamond earrings for $24.99 when you spend $25, similar to a deal it offered during November 2019. Macy’s also has special Daily Deals that will pop up throughout the sale, ranging from 60 percent off fine jewelry to 50 percent off handbags.
Bonebright also pointed out that shoppers can get an extra 10, 15 or 25 percent off select items with code JULY online. However, he said there are a lot of exclusions to this promotion, so it might not be as beneficial to shoppers as it seems. Exclusions range from Macy’s Deals of the Day and Doorbuster items, to sales from brands like Crocs and Kate Spade New York apparel.
Here are some of the best products to shop during Macy’s Black Friday in July sale, from mattresses to shoes.
