Independence Day on July 4 sees pool parties, barbecues and fireworks, but many Americans can also enjoy thousands of special offers from retailers around the country this year.

Many retail stores and restaurants alike are gearing up for the Fourth of July by offering consumers all kinds of special offers and deals, including on items such as cars, home appliances, and toys, just to name a few. Fortunately, July marks a good time to shop for new items since the hot summer months are typically slower for clothing and apparel sales as well as car sales.

Moreover, retailers such as car manufacturers heavily promote deals during holidays knowing that customers have more time during Fourth of July to spend shopping. July deals are especially enticing since retailers have to compete against other ways that customers spend their money during the summer months, such as on vacations.

This year, The Christian Post has compiled a list of the best freebies and sales available on Independence Day this Friday, including some stores that are offering up to 40 or 50 percent off their entire stock – similar to Black Friday deals.

When it comes to clothing, shop at Aeropostale where everything is currently 50 to 70 percent off. However, there are some exclusions. Similarly, use the coupon code BRJULY for 40 percent off of your entire purchase at Banana Republic, now through July 7. Items in stores are also 40 percent off. H&M, Old Navy, Gymboree, Target and Easy Spirit are offering deals on July 4 as well.

Furthermore, in honor of Independence Day, Baskin Robbins is offering customers a free waffle cone upgrade with any double scoop order. At Bonefish Grill, three takeout orders of spicy Bang Bang Shrimp only cost $19.99, and Boston Market is offering a 50 percent off coupon for any family meal purchase on July 4. Omaha Steaks, Outback Steakhouse, On The Border and Red Lobster are also offering Fourth of July promotions.
