Letās talk about Belk Black Friday in July. Because letās face it ā Amazon isnāt the only sheriff in town anymore. And Belkās deals are worth an honorable mention. Their sale is on now and goes through July 16, with savings up to 65% off.
Because of all the Amazon Prime Day buzz, tons of stores started dropping their own mid-summer deals to compete with the retail giant. Belk was actually an early adopter, starting their Black Friday in July sale back in 2016 (we love a rebel).
While the July discounts are similar to the November Black Friday deals, the main difference is seasonality. You wonāt find summer dresses, sandals, and swimsuits in November. And you wonāt find Christmas decor, boots, and outwear in July. So it takes a little strategizing to know what to buy and when.
Iāll show you the main differences between Belk Black Friday in July and their November Black Friday sale, plus fill you in on which deals to shop in one sale versus the other. And Iām sharing what I am buying right now.
