Get Some Great Deals Today Before The Fireworks Begin in Alpharetta Tonight

Many local stores are offering fantastic deals in honor of the holiday today.

Holidays always bring the sales and this one is no exception. Most stores will be open on the Fourth but be sure to check their hours if you plan on going in later as many will close early. But, before the fireworks, be sure to check out the great deals that local stores are offering. Here is a list of the best ones I found going on right now in Alpharetta and Milton.

has some great promotions throughout the entire store. If you are in the market for appliances, televisions and large purchases, this is a great day to do some shopping around. Most of the larger stores can compete with the prices at Best Buy today. Smaller purchases like video games are a good purchase here today. Best Buy has some video games for Xbox, DS, PS3 or Wii on sale 2 for $30. When games first come out, they are priced around $50 a piece so if you may be thinking gifts for the kids for the winter holidays, this is a good one to  get in on. Ipod accessories are on sale for $5. Some of these are regularly priced slightly above this so these do not make an amazing deal but some are regularly priced almost $20. If you need a new case, arm bands, screen protectors, plugs, or other accessories for any of the Ipod devices, today is a good day to do it. Skull Candy headphones and other items are also discounted at Best Buy. This is a good place to stop in for people who are doing big appliance shopping or those who are looking for video games and music accessories today. 

is an excellent shop to head over to if you are looking for ladies clothing. They have up to 90 percent off on many items in the store through the holiday. Tanks are $3, shorts are $5 and dresses are $6. There are some great deals and this store is larger than so many of the mall shops, buyers are sure to find some excellent bargains.
