Milan is no exception: here too July (and August as well) is time for sales. The research (struggle?!) of good and cheaper stuff starts on the first Saturday of July.
The best area, and obviously still the most expensive, is Monte Napoleone.
Everywhere you go, keep the receipt just in case of a change!
