Fall is near (next week), and the fall sales are rolling in quickly. The fashion deals are the strongest right now, with 40 percent off at Banana Republic and Lands’ End, 30 percent off at Madewell, and much more. But if you’re excited for fall cooking, Sur La Table has up to half off dutch ovens, saucepans, and other essentials. And in case you missed it, Prime Day is returning on October 7, and early deals have already launched, so I included a few of the actually good ones below.
As always, sign up for the Strategist Sales Alert newsletter to receive each day’s best deals in your inbox (as well as sales just for newsletter subscribers). And if you want even more, sign up for our regular email newsletter for tons more newsletter exclusives.
