This year the Fourth of July might look a little different: barbecues may be smaller or not happen at all, people will be annoyed by fireworks after seemingly the whole country has had them going off in their neighborhood for a month, and beach days might be replaced with movie nights.
The only thing that will never change? Online shopping.
As always, there are a ton of deals this weekend to celebrate the U.S. in the most American way possible. Grab a cheeseburger, pull out your laptop, and check out the best nerdy sales for July Fourth below.
