Our experts track prices throughout the year, not just when the sales are on. That means we’re able to cut through retailers’ spin to bring you only the deals we consider to be genuinely good value.
All the deals in this round-up are on products we've rigorously tested. Our lab tests are objective and reflect how products are used in real life, so you can trust the accuracy of our reviews.
However, even though these products scored well in our tests, the best way to see if something is right for you is to read our reviews before you buy.
Best TV deal
LG 55QNED816QA (typical price – £799)
This mid-range 55-inch 4K TV makes use of LG's QNED technology, which lights an LCD screen with mini LEDs. It's speedy to navigate through menus, although the smart features are weighed down and cluttered by ads.
The remote is intuitive to use, and it has a decent range of gamer-centric features, such as built-in cloud gaming services and support for AMD FreeSync Premium.
This TV released at £1,149, but before these sales you could find it for around £799.
Best laptop deal
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch 2022 (typical price – £1,249)
This 2022 Apple MacBook Air is the latest iteration of Apple's vastly popular lightweight laptop. It has the M2 chip.
This version also features Apple's Liquid Retina display, which is a big selling point if you're looking to edit photos and videos.
Best broadband deal
Now Broadband Super Fibre 63Mbps
£24 a month for the first month, then £27.50 for the rest of the 12-month contract£5 upfront costWe like: We don't like: This is a particularly attractive deal because you're only tied down to a contract for 12 months, so will be free to shop around again after a year.Now's one-off price increase means it will only be £24 for the first month. After that, it's £27.50 per month, but it's still a competitive price for the speed offered.CheckBest mobile phone deal

Best tablet deal
Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 2021 (typical price – £219)
The A8 is from the lower end of Samsung's range, but the 1,200 x 1,920-pixel display should make it an ideal choice for Full HD videos on Netflix and YouTube (although it won't be able to show the improvements in 4K content).
It comes with a small 32GB hard drive that you can expand if you add a micro-SD card. A quick charge of 30 minutes will give you just over an hour and a quarter of battery life.

SleepSoul Heaven
You could argue this mattress is more of a hybrid, but we've classed it as pocket sprung thanks to its large pocket spring core. This is topped with layers of foam, a pillow top and 'coolgel' foam.
At 24kg, it's not overly heavy compared to other sprung mattresses we've tested and comes with four built-in handles to help you move it.

July sale shopping tips
Check the Which? website
As well as telling you which products are best and which are lacking, we’ve also put together a list of the best and worst shops.
We’ve quizzed thousands of Which? members on their experiences of shopping in some of the country’s best-known stores and websites, as well as with lesser-known brands.
Watch out for sneaky tricks
Some retailers use underhand tactics to pressure you into making a purchase.
These include anchor pricing (when products are on sale more often than they aren’t), pressure selling (‘30 people are viewing this right now!’) and dubious claims about the ‘before’ price of a product.
Research customer reviews
It’s always a good idea to read reviews before you buy a product, but not all reviews are trustworthy.
Some sellers incentivise people to post fake positive reviews to drown out genuine negative ones. If you’re in any doubt, check out our expert guide on how to spot a fake review.
Returning goods
The regulations give you a 14-day window to return a non-faulty product, which begins on the day you receive your goods. Many retailers will give you longer than this, but it's always best to check before you buy.
