Question 1 of 8

True or false: Amazon has announced that it’s moving its Prime Day sale from July (when it usually happens) to June this year.

With Amazon moving its annual Prime Day sale to June (the specific dates haven’t been announced yet), shoppers will find an array of electronic devices and tech items marked down soon. “You’ll see major discounts on Amazon devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick, Amazon Echo Dot, Kindle Paperwhite and Ring video doorbell,” says Melissa Cid, a consumer savings specialist for MySavings, a coupon and deal website. Experts say other major retailers will compete for shoppers with their own sales during the Prime Day event, which could last two to four days, based on past sales.

Question 2 of 8

On Friday, June 5, you can start your morning with a snack and a deal because it’s:

Score a sweet at your local doughnut shop. Dunkin’ is offering a free doughnut with any beverage purchase for the 16th year in a row.  Krispy Kreme and other chains are also expected to have holiday specials.

Question 3 of 8

While you’re enjoying early summer now, cozy season is right around the corner. How much can you expect to save on candles and other fragrance products in June?

“June is one of the best months all year to stock up on candles, soaps and home fragrance products thanks to semiannual sales,” says Courtney Omell, an editor at the Krazy Coupon Lady, a website dedicated to finding coupons and deals. It’s an opportunity to not only replenish your supply but also load up on gifts for friends and family, experts say.

Question 4 of 8

Upgrade your summer snoozing by looking for deals on which bedtime product this month?

“Mattress brands tend to extend Memorial Day pricing into early June, and some retailers continue offering aggressive markdowns to compete before the next major holiday shopping event,” one expert says. “Hybrid and cooling mattresses are especially discounted this time of year.” Look for deals at Lowe’s, Mattress Firm and Saatva.

Question 5 of 8

Shoppers can find significant discounts on swimsuits, underwear and bras in June. Which retailer is known for a semiannual sale “offering deeper discounts than Black Friday in categories like bras, panties and swimwear,” according to one expert?

Victoria’s Secret’s Semi-Annual Sale typically kicks off in early to mid June and runs through early July. Its swimwear is typically marked down by as much as 80 percent, with bras dropping to $8 to $15, one expert says. Other intimate apparel retailers will follow suit with their own sales.

 

Question 6 of 8

Which grocery chain has recently been giving away thousands of pints of ice cream on the summer solstice/first day of summer (June 21)?

Last year, Kroger gave away 92,000 pints of ice cream through digital coupons customers downloaded. The year before that, the grocer handed out 45,000 pints for free. While the chain has not yet announced a giveaway this year, it might be a good idea to check its website ahead of June 21.

Question 7 of 8

About how much do families nationwide spend in total on gifts and celebrations for Father’s Day (June 21), according to the National Retail Federation?

The NRF estimated families spent $24 billion in 2025. June is prime time for tool and outdoor equipment sales, thanks to Father’s Day promotions on everything from drills to wrench sets to lawn mowers. Shop for yourself or drop a hint to your kids that your Father’s Day wish list includes these items.

Question 8 of 8

True or false: Stores often have discounts on outdoor living products in June.

Retailers promote outdoor living products in June as the weather heats up and people spend more time outside, one expert says. Patio sets, firepits and outdoor dining furniture are often marked down. Look for deals at Home Depot, Walmart and Wayfair.
