L.M. Montgomery once said, "I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June." With temperatures not too hot and not too cold, I feel the same way! This month is the perfect time for barbeques, picnics, family gatherings and even just relaxing by the pool with a cold iced tea. And along with the perfect weather and long days comes something else that we all love—hot deals! Although you may not normally think of June as a big-sale month, there are a few unexpected items on which you’ll find deep discounts and big promos this month. Here are four unexpected items to keep your eyes on this June.

1. Tools

If you’ve been meaning to replace that rusty, old screwdriver or those pliers that no longer open, you’re in luck! With Father’s Day, which falls on June 15th, comes a lot, and I mean a lot, of promos on items that men typically like. Of course, tools always fall into this category! Last June we saw promos like 30% off DeWalt Cordless Drills, free batteries with select tool purchases, and $20 off tool purchases of $100 or more. These deals will continue into July as well, making the summer months a great time to replace those exhausted tools of your own—and gift Dad a few new ones.

2. Dishware

If you’ve received a wedding invitation or two of late, you’re not alone. It turns out that June is the most popular month to say "I do." But before the big day, most couples tend to add some sort of dinnerware to their registries. Whether it be fine china or everyday dish sets, retailers take full advantage of the interest in dishes this month by enticing shoppers with some fabulous promos and discounts. In fact, according to Real Simple, shoppers will find dishware anywhere from 20-50% off during the month of June, making it a great time to replace your current dishware as well as get a few pieces for any newlyweds on your list.

3. Caribbean cruises

If you live near the water you probably know that June is the beginning of hurricane season. However, hurricane season doesn’t actually peak until July and August, leaving June with a relatively low risk for storms. If you’re the gambling type and you’ve been dreaming of a Caribbean cruise, June might be the perfect month to go for it! Since it’s technically hurricane season and there’s a chance for bad weather, cruise lines typically slash prices in an attempt to get folks on their ships this month. With one quick search, I found deals such as 4-night cruises to the Bahamas for $340 per person, kids sail free, free meals and tons of other offers. And with discounts as high as 78% off brochure prices, it might just be worth the risk.

4. Lingerie

If there’s one commercial that you can count on seeing every June, it’s the famous ad for Victoria’s Secret’s Semi Annual Sale! Many women clamor to this sale, which typically starts between the first and second week of June, where shoppers can save as much as 70%! Fortunately, other retailers have taken notice of Victoria’s Secret’s dominance during this month and have ramped up their savings in an effort to compete. Last June, Maidenform, Bare Necessities, Soma and Frederick’s of Hollywood all offered some pretty spectacular deals including free gifts with purchase, additional percentages off clearance items and 20-30% discounts on new arrivals.
