The only thing right now I'm semi-interested in is Spec Ops because Yahtzee actually got me interested in it. Though it's only $5 off right now. Anyone think it'll go on sale or is it too early?
Never buy stuff on a steam sale unless its a daily/flash... until the very last day. Check what the end time of the sale on spec ops is on its page. If it says july 23, then don't buy it until july 22.
Daily and flash deals are almost always lower than the entire sale deals, and 9 times out of 10, if you buy something in the first couple days not on a daily, it will go on a better daily sale before the sales end.
Set aside some time on the last steam sale day to go back over the list of stuff still on sale and on your wishlist, and see if anything you want is still unbought (stupid steam still can't figure out how to properly automatically remove games you've bought from your wishlist), and on a reasonable sale, then buy the remainder on that last day.
