LAS VEGAS, NV — (Marketwired) — 08/01/13 — With July 2013 coming to a close, let-s take a look back at the best deals of the month and make some predictions for the best bargains and coupons coming up next month.
July 2013 Review
Deals on video games and apps surged this month. Apple celebrated the 5th year anniversary of iOS by offering free apps including Infinity Blade 2, Galaxy Battles and more. Also, PC gamers went crazy at Steam-s annual summer sale, which kicked off early July with digital downloads of Torchlight II, Civilization V, Tomb Raider, and other hot titles.
Similar to last summer, we found restaurants offering a variety of great deals. The most popular deals this year came from Smashburger-s $5 off $5 coupon, Cold Stone-s Buy 1 Get 1 free offer, and Papa John-s 50% off coupon.
Magazine subscriptions performed extremely well in July. The Slickdeals community saw daily bargains from DiscountMags on subscriptions to ESPN, Popular Science, Cosmopolitan, and more.
The hottest tech deal this month was Google-s new Chromecast, which streams media directly to your TV. Retailers kicked off the release with a promo code for a free 3-month Netflix subscription.
August 2013 Preview
August signifies the start of back-to-school shopping. Expect to see huge discounts on office and school supplies from big retailers like Office Max, Target, and Staples.
There-s over a month left before summer ends, but merchants are already rolling back prices on apparel to coincide with back-to-school. Now-s the time to stock up on children-s wear, shoes, men-s and women-s clothing. We predict Sears, JCPenney, Toys R Us, and Crocs to be huge drivers in sitewide sales.
With the last month of summer fast approaching, merchants will be dropping prices on outdoor living, gardening, and home improvement items.
We foresee big electronics sales on computers and printers to close out the back-to-school season.
