Black Friday in July is here. Traditionally, we would be preparing for Amazon Prime Day by now, but not in 2020. The global pandemic has led to a surge in online panic buying, and retailers like Amazon are still playing catch-up. As a result, Prime Day is reportedly moving to October.

Fortunately, one summer tradition hasn't disappeared, and that's July's Black Friday sales, with retailers like Dell and Macy's offering sitewide discounts in an attempt to whip consumers into a Black Friday-like frenzy. But there are two things every shopper should know. First, Black Friday in July cannot compete with the real Black Friday. Additionally, not all July Black Friday sales are worth your time.

So we've created a mini-guide to the best July Black Friday sales of the year.

July Black Friday is an annual summer sale that mimics Black Friday; from Dell to Macy's, retailers offer site-wide discounts on everything from laptops to kitchenware. While no deals rival the actual Black Friday, many sales last throughout the month.
