Best June deals include bargains on lingerie, trips to the Caribbean

I notice that the hotter it gets, the less I’m inclined to venture outside. And when I do decide to venture? I usually do it online because I can shop for what I want and I don’t sweat my pants off.

For example, getting those kelly-green candlesticks in the mail from Zgallerie was last week’s highlight for me. The week before, that cool Bettie Page T-shirt from Etsy. I’m looking forward to continuing my online prowling for good deals.

Here’s what you should consider buying in June, according to dealnews.com:

• Cool lingerie. Victoria’s Secret usually unveils its famed semiannual sale this month. Last year featured discounts on bras, panties and swimwear.

Price cuts might get deeper later in the month, as the store slashed prices further last June as the weeks went by. Frederick’s of Hollywood and Maidenform also offered lingerie deals last June.

• Grill deals. Deals on grills will continue to be less than spectacular this month. You may get a better discount if you wait for Fourth of July promotions.

According to last year’s trends, you could save as much as 50 percent, or $220 or more, on a midrange to high-end grill if you wait until July.

Keep in mind that beef prices are on the rise, so you might want to consider alternative protein for your barbecues.

• Caribbean vacations. Technically, June is the beginning of the Caribbean’s hurricane season. But, unlike the later months, the region is far less likely to experience tropical storms in June.

Still, there is the chance for bad weather, which means vacation packages and cruises in the area are much cheaper. If you’re willing to give it a try, look for last-minute Caribbean vacation deals for this month.

• Walt Disney World. Speaking of cheap vacations, you might want to hold off on a trip to Disney World this month. Priceline has reported that the cheapest weekend to book a Disney-accessible hotel is in August, whereas the most expensive time is the last weekend of June. Waiting a few months means you could save as much as 23 percent.

• Father’s Day deals. While you’ll likely want to get something for Dad that’s in line with his interests, keep in mind that many restaurants will offer Father’s Day discounts on the day itself.

Look for offers that include free entrees for Dad or discounted extras such as dessert. Typically, this is a favorite promotion among nationwide chains, but your local restaurant might similarly have a special that’s worth your time.
