What you can do:
"Look for those sales and use a coupon code on top os it to stretch it further. You can go to a site like Coupon Cabin. They organize by store name. Also, earn cash back or rewards if you use a browser extension like Fetch. They’ll give you points, which you can then redeem for gift cards. This could give you a boost if you put that toward a future purchase, if you're earning that cash back or rewards for the purchases you’re making this week," explained Woroch.
But Woroch says hold off on buying patio furniture, grills, and summer apparel. She says they'll go down more on the 4th of July and end of summer.

You can go to a travel site like TravelZoo. They’ll list different deals and destinations. Or Hotels.com or the HotelTonight app to see what sales they have at different destinations that you have been thinking of traveling to," said Woroch.
