July 2025 is set to break price-cut records with Amazon Prime Day (Jul 8 â 11), Walmart Deals (early access Jul 7), Target Circle Week (Jul 6 â 12) and competing back-to-school sales from Best Buy, Kohlâs & others. Get key dates, insider tips and SEO-rich strategies to save big all month long.
Introduction
If youâve been waiting for the perfect time to stock up on tech, school supplies, home upgrades and everyday essentials, circle âšJULY 2025âš on your calendar. The month kicks off a tidal wave of deep discounts led by Amazonâs first-ever four-day Prime Day extravaganza, quickly followed by rival mega-sales at Walmart, Target and dozens of other national retailers. Savvy shoppers can expect price drops as steep as Black Fridayâonly with swimsuit weather instead of snow boots!
Amazon Prime Day: Jul 8 â Jul 11 (96 Hours of Deals)
Prime Day turns 11 this year and Amazon is stretching the party to four full daysâfrom 12:01 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, July 8 through 11:59 p.m. PDT on Friday, July 11. Thatâs 96 hours of Lightning Deals, Invite-Only Drops and exclusive coupons across every department. Categories historically scoring the steepest cuts include:
- Amazon-branded devices (Echo, Fire, Ring)
- Premium laptops & tablets
- Smart-home gear
- Fashion basics & athleisure
- Beauty bundles and single-serve coffee makers
Why it matters: U.S. shoppers spent an eye-popping 14.200 billion USD during Prime Day 2024âproof that deals are real and inventory moves fast. houstonchronicle.com
Pro tip: If youâre new to the Prime life, start a free 30-day trial on Jul 7 to score every hour of the sale without paying the membership fee.
Walmart Deals: Jul 8 â Jul 13 (Early Access for Walmart+ on Jul 7 @ 7 p.m. ET)
When Amazon slashes prices, Walmart claps back. The retailerâs âWalmart Dealsâ event runs Tuesday, Jul 8 to Sunday, Jul 13, but Walmart+ members get a full 24-hour head-start beginning Monday, Jul 7 at 7:00 p.m. ET. Expect rollbacks on:
- Large appliances & patio furniture
- Chromebooks & gaming consoles
- Diaper mega-boxes and household staples
- Small kitchen electrics (air fryers, blenders)
Because Walmart+ offers free shipping with no order minimum plus fuel savings, the membership often pays for itself during this one week. corporate.walmart.comaxios.com
Target Circle Week: Jul 6 â Jul 12 (Early Access Jul 5 for Circle 360)
Targetâs answer to Prime Day is Circle Week, loaded with back-to-school pricing and category-wide âSpend X, Get Yâ gift-card promos. Circle 360 paid members can sneak in on Saturday, Jul 5, a full day before standard Circle loyalty users. Look for:
- 20 % off backpacks, lunch kits and school uniforms
- BOGO 50 % on kidsâ denim, tees and dresses
- Partner-perks (Starbucks, Ulta Beauty in-store offers)
- One-time 20 % store-wide coupon for teachers & college students
Stack those Circle deals with Target RedCard 5 % savings or manufacturer coupons for double-dip discounts at checkout. axios.comshopping.yahoo.com
