As we head into the summer, last season’s deals give way to a new host of budget-friendly items. Stay up-to-date on monthly discounts, and time your shopping trips so you can take advantage of the best deals. You’ll find that saving money in June is all about planning your purchases.
How to Find the Best June Deals
June is a month when most people would rather be enjoying the summer outdoors than spending time shopping in a store, so it’s harder to find good deals. There are a few, however, if you’re looking to buy certain items.
For example, retailers are lowering prices on athletic gear you can enjoy outside. And a spike in weddings leads to sales on common registry items, while Father’s Day contributes to a couple of discounts on man-friendly items.
1. Gym Memberships & Sporting Goods
Jan. 1 is ancient history, and all the people who made half-hearted resolutions to hit the gym or lace up their running shoes more often have given up by now. Luckily for you, that means gyms are competing for your patronage by lowering rates.
Additionally, sporting goods stores are discounting sports equipment and apparel during this off season, so it’s a great chance to buy the gear you’ve always wanted. The same goes for anyone who would rather watch a sporting event rather than play in one — college and professional sporting gear should be on sale for most teams, too.
2. Tools and Hardware
Father’s Day this year is on Sunday, June 21. Kids always buy their dads tools for the occasion, so major retailers will be offering some great deals on everything from hammers to power drills. Even if you’re not a father you can still take advantage of the deals, and splurge on yourself instead.

3. Dishware
If you’ve ever shopped for items on a wedding registry, you know that soon-to-be couples like to stock up on dishes. Wedding season peaks in early summer, making it the perfect time to purchase dishware that’s being promoted especially for this reason. You might even be able to save 25 to 50 percent on a set.
4. Champagne
You have wedding season to thank once again for another great deal. It might not compare to New Year’s Eve, but everyone’s favorite month to get married is a great time to sell and buy champagne. Whether you’re toasting your father or a bride this month, cheap champagne is an excuse to stock up on several bottles.
