This is the steepest refrigerator discount in Best Buy’s 4th of July Sales
The Whirlpool - 19.7 Cu. Ft. French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator with its doors closed.

If you want to use 4th of July deals to shop for a refrigerator, there are two good ways to do so that you might not have even considered. The first is taking advantage of Samsung 4th of July deals. Despite being known for gaming supplies, phones, TVs and the like, they have smart refrigerators (and washers and dryers) that you might like as well. Your second set of possibly unconsidered options are Best Buy 4th of July deals. And, based on our analysis of everything in the sale, this Whirlpool refrigerator deal is the steepest appliance discount. You can get this French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator for just $1,700 today, which is $2,200 down from the usual $3,900. Just tap the button below and get it while the 4th's deals are still around or keep reading to see more about it before you make up your mind.

Why you should buy the Whirlpool 19.7 Cu. Ft. French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator
This is a three door refrigerator that meshes well with your countertops due to its depth of around 28-30 inches (we give a range because it depends on if you count the handle or not). The outside of it is a nice stainless steel that is easy to keep clean and shiny.

Should you buy a TV in 4th of July Sales or wait for Prime Day deals?
A couple shops for TVs at a retail store.

History, at least for your household, is about to be made. You're setting out to buy a TV and check out all of the best TVs. The prices are pretty high still, so you pivot to checking out the best TV deals. Smart. Then, you realize it is early July and all of your problems begin. Should you buy a TV now, taking advantage of 4th of July deals, or do you wait for Prime Day deals? The dissatisfying answer is 'Yes, no, maybe so.'

The fact of the matter is, there are reasonable cases for getting a TV during 4th of July sales and waiting for Prime Day. Here, we let each event plead its own case.
Buy now — The case for 4th of July TV deals
Before we even get into the plethora of deals available, we should state the obvious message that is incredibly easy to miss if you spend too much time crunching the numbers — buying now for the 4th of July means more time with the TV in the summer. Yes, the summer is a traditionally outdoor season. But, the nights are longer with the kids not having school and the family memories are to last a lifetime.

You won’t believe this Lenovo ThinkPad 4th of July deal
A designer sits by a desk as she works on a project with the Lenovo ThinkPad 15v next to her.

If you're thinking of grabbing yourself a new laptop for work or school, then a great option to consider is the Lenovo ThinkPad P15v. Not only is Lenovo one of the best laptop brands on the market, but ThinkPads are well-known for being great work and school laptops, so they're a perfect option if you won't be gaming or anything like that. In fact, the ThinkPad P15v is currently a whopping $2,050 off as part of the 4th of July sales, and you can get it from Lenovo for just $899 rather than the usual $2,949 it goes for.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad P15v
One of the best things about the ThinkPad P15V is the Intel Core i7-12700H, which is great to see at this price point, especially as a mid-to-upper range processor. It will work great for most productivity tasks that include things like Excel sheets, and it should let you handle a bit of graphic design as well. In fact, the ThinkPad P15V has an NVIDIA T1200 graphics card, which is an entry-level professional graphics card akin to something like a GTX 1650 but with more CUDA cores for graphical performance. That means you'll be able to do graphical rendering and simulation tasks that rely on GPU processing power, and while it's not a very powerful GPU, the inclusion of one makes a big difference, especially at this price.
