July deals include discounts on mattresses, grills, appliances
July is a good month for saving money, with several sales events coming together during the month.
Consumer Reports said July sales center around Independence Day, Amazon's Prime Day and early back-to-school sales.
"July 4th sales have already been going on since late June, and you can expect big discounts on things like mattresses, large appliances and also summer items like grills," said Samantha Gordon, of Consumer Reports.
A Samsung top-freezer refrigerator is priced as low as $694 at Walmart. Consumer Reports said the 28-inch fridge is excellent at keeping internal temperatures constant throughout the appliance.

Next, out with the lumpy old mattress and in with a new one to help get some sleep during those hot summer nights.
Casper's queen-size The One mattress is now as low as $995. The foam mattress-in-a-box aced CR's mattress durability tests and is a great option for back sleepers.
Good sleep doesn't stop there. With a top-rated pillow, you can feel your best as soon as you start the day. The Original Pillow from Coop Sleep Goods is a CR "smart buy" and is $75 at Amazon and Coop Sleep Goods.
Take the savings outside with a brand-new grill. The Monument Grills Mesa Grill is as low as $425 at Walmart.
And mark your calendars for mid-July, when the online sales heat up.
"Amazon Prime Day falls on July 16 and 17 this year, and what we tend to see are Black Friday-level prices on pretty much everything Amazon has to offer, but you do need to be a Prime member to shop the sale," Gordon said.
And although it might seem early, toward the end of the month, look out for back-to-school sales.
"Whether you're looking for new tech devices like a new set of headphones or a laptop or a printer – anything that you're going to need for the back-to-school season – you're going to see discounts this month," Gordon said.
Looking for something else? Consumer Reports said you can expect discounts on dishwashers, washers and dryers, home security cameras, sunscreen and insect repellents, as well.
