August Sales Guide: End-of-Summer Deals You Don’t Want to Miss

It might not feel like it yet, but summer is winding down. As we move into August and September, it’s the perfect time to score great deals on summer essentials, back-to-school supplies, and more. Retailers are clearing shelves to make room for fall merchandise, offering savvy shoppers deep discounts.

August

Summer Clothing

Despite the heat persisting, retailers begin clearing out their summer inventory in August. This is your best chance to snag swimsuits, sandals, and lightweight clothing at clearance prices—often up to 70% off. Buy a size or two larger for growing kids if you plan on saving them for next summer.

Back-to-School Supplies

While school supplies hit shelves in July, August is when the best deals kick in. Big box retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon compete for your dollars, offering notebooks, crayons, and glue sticks at rock-bottom prices (Target currently has school supplies as low as 15¢). Be sure to check office supply stores and use money-saving apps for digital coupons and cashback offers..

Laptops

August is the second-best month of the year (after Black Friday) to buy a laptop. Back-to-school promotions mean discounts of 8% to 25% on laptops, tablets, and accessories at stores like Best Buy, Staples, Amazon, Walmart, and even Target.

Office Supplies and Furniture

It’s not just students who benefit from back-to-school sales. Small businesses and remote workers can take advantage of markdowns on desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and all the office basics. Bonus: dorm-friendly items like lamps, bedding, and storage containers are also on sale.

Outdoor Furniture and Grills

If you’re eyeing a new patio set or grill, wait until the end of August—that’s when clearance sales heat up. Prices often dip even lower around Labor Day weekend, so plan your purchases accordingly.

Seasonal Produce

August continues to deliver a bounty of fresh summer fruits and vegetables. It’s a great time to visit your local farmers market or grocery store for peak-season picks and great prices on:

  • Berries – blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries are still in season
  • Stone Fruits – enjoy juicy peaches, plums, and nectarines at their sweetest
  • Melons – cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew
  • Pome Fruit – apples and pears
  • Summer Veggies – zucchini, bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and sweet corn are at their peak and perfect for summer meals

Take advantage of the abundance while it lasts—fall produce is just around the corner!

Root Beer Float Day

Cool off with a sweet treat! On Wednesday, August 6th, A&W is celebrating National Root Beer Float Day by offering a free small root beer float from 2 PM to 8 PM. Just join the A&W Mug Club to get your coupon.

Waffle Day

Celebrate your favorite breakfast classic on Saturday, August 24th. Many diners and breakfast chains offer waffle deals or freebies—check your local spots and food apps for the latest offers.
