Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It doesn’t have to be an explicit sale season for us to enjoy snapping up a bargain – and thankfully our favourite stores seem to agree, with many of them currently hosting mid-season sales and discounts.
Perhaps there were those jeans you couldn’t justify buying at full price or that trench coat that was just a little steep for your budget – well, fear not, as there are plenty of sales to shop now.
It’s a great time to get any basics missing from your wardrobe or to give your home a little mid-season pick-me-up with purcahses that are now a lot more feasible. From your favourite fashion brands to discounts across home and beauty, there’s so many deals to snap up.
However, we completely understand that the sales sections of websites can be daunting places, so, to help you, we’ve done the work and gone through our favourite brands to select some of the best they have to offer – at the best prices, too.
