It's the weekend of summer sales so treat yourself without spending too much money at shops along Fourth Avenue and at Saguaro Market, on St. Mary's Road east of the freeway. 

There's the weekend-long Fourth Avenue Super Summer Sale and the two-day Saguaro Market Summer Clearance Sale. Here's what you need to know:

Fourth Avenue Super Summer Sale

Fourth Avenue is the place to be this weekend. The Super Summer Sale means participating merchants on Fourth are giving out discounts that are too good to pass up. Deals like 50 percent off clearance items and 15 percent off all regular-priced items at Creations Boutique. You can find a full list of discounts here, but to name a few more, they've got:

• 20 percent off everything in the store (with almost no exceptions) at Antigone Books.

• $2 off nachos at Bison Witches.

• Free pint of gelato with a whole pizza order at Brooklyn Pizza Company

• 10 percent off all ice cream and candy samples at Chocolate Iguana.

• 20 percent off everything at How Sweet It Was Vintage

• All-day happy hour and $5 creative cocktails at Sky Bar.

There are 26 participating Fourth Avenue merchants, according to the Facebook event page. It's a mix of bars, restaurants/eateries and shops. And it's an all-weekend thing, so if you miss a day, you have two more days to shop. 

Pro tip: The Sun Link is celebrating three years of operation, which means free street car rides starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 22 to 3 a.m. on Sunday, July 23. Use it to get around Fourth Avenue. 

If you go

Hours: All weekend long, July 21-23. Hours depend on merchants.

Saguaro Market Summer Clearance Sale

Save big time at the hip Saguaro Market at their Summer Clearance Sale. Get 30-45 percent off most items. You'll be able to stock up Mother's/Father's Day cards, small gifts for friends and family or treat yourself without feeling guilty. You'll know what's on sale if it has a sticker: things with red stickers get a 30 percent discount, 40 percent for yellow stickers, and 45 percent for green stickers.

The best part is that the sale is going on in the evening so you don't have to worry about the heat. 

If you go

Hours: Friday and Saturday, July 21-22, 5-10 p.m.

Location: Saguaro Market, 657 W. St. Mary's Road
