Retailers like Target and Walmart have events acting as thinly-veiled competition for Prime Day this year. That's obvious given their timing. And Home Depot is doing much of the same with its Fourth of July sale, offering excellent discounts of its own right now through July 9.

Whether it’s online or in-store, a trip to Home Depot can feel like a sea of appliances, grills, patio furniture and countless other items. How does one know what’s a good deal — and what isn’t?

The 4th of July weekend is here, and Home Depot's 4th of July sale is in full swing! Now's a great chance to shop massive discounts on everything you need for your home. From mattresses to grills, these are some of the best deals of the year so far.
