PHOENIX \u2014 Retailers are rolling out deals ahead of the Fourth of July, giving shoppers ways to celebrate without overspending \u2014 including a ready-to-go cookout meal for eight for just $5 per person.<\/p>\n

Kimberly Sneed of Avondale, Arizona, is one shopper leaning on those deals to pull off a backyard bash for her family, including her 10-year-old son, Adrian.<\/p>\n

“I usually have it delivered because it’s a big time saver, but that’s, you know, how we kind of keep it on budget and make it really easy,” Sneed said.<\/p>\n

The family is turning to Walmart, where a ready-to-go meal deal<\/u> is just one click away.<\/p>\n

“This cookout prep meal comes with hamburgers, hot dogs, beef burgers, potato chips. You’ve also got your fruits and vegetables, cheese, and you\u2019ve also got your sides,” Vanessa Carcich, a Walmart Store Manager in Mesa, Arizona, said.<\/p>\n

Fireworks at Walmart start under $3. Festive apparel is also on offer, with holiday shirts for kids starting at under $11.<\/p>\n

Target is also offering Fourth of July savings<\/u>, including 40% off women’s apparel, buy-one-get-one deals on grill essentials, and up to 30% off parade day gear.<\/p>\n

“I love their sales. So I think it’s great,” Karla McKerley, of Phoenix, said.<\/p>\n

Kroger<\/u> is marking America’s 250th anniversary with limited-edition products and discounts.<\/p>\n

“We have 40% off our Americana apparel,” Daniella Lerma, a Kroger spokesperson in Phoenix, Arizona, said.<\/p>\n

The limited-edition lineup includes buttered corn-flavored chips and cheeseburger-flavored chips, both under $2 a bag.<\/p>\n

Kroger is also offering a full-size portable grill for under $70.<\/p>\n

“That’s a really great find,” Lerma said.<\/p>\n

At Ace Hardware stores, shoppers can enter to win a grill valued at $289.<\/p>\n

“This is happening at all Aces all across the country,” said Julie Buchkowski, President of Paul’s Ace Hardware in Scottsdale, Arizona.<\/p>\n

Ace Hardware’s Hometown Days<\/u> sales run July 3 through 5, with deals like a free citronella candle for shoppers who spend $40.<\/p>\n

With so many deals available, shopping expert Trae Bodge of truetrae.com<\/u> urges consumers to do their homework before buying.<\/p>\n

“For these big discount weekends, you really want to compare prices across retailers.<\/p>\n

Make sure that you’re finding the best deal, and never take a price at face value. So, look to your favorite coupon site to see if there’s a coupon or cash back offer that you can find,” Bodge said. <\/p>\n

For Sneed, the motivation to shop smart goes beyond saving money.<\/p>\n

“Especially right now, I think everyone’s kind of in a pinch budget-wise,\u201d Sneed said. \u201cSo it’s really important to still have a good time to celebrate these holidays, to gather with friends and family, but definitely not break the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n
