As shoppers are readying their wallets for Amazon Prime Day on July 11 and 12, other retailers are piggy-backing off the epic pre-holiday shopping event with their own rival deals.
For those looking to avoid shelling out extra money on an Amazon Prime membership (which costs $15 per month or $139 annually), the great news is that there are plenty of fall sales to shop elsewhere online. Best Buy, Target, Walmart and Petco are among the retailers that have announced their own shopping days to compete with Amazon Prime Day, while Overstock, Wayfair and others have already kicked off their rival blowouts. That means you don’t need a membership to enjoy savings on designer clothing, accessories, and eyewear alongside big-ticket items like smartphones, laptops, cookware, home appliances, televisions, soundbars, gaming systems, and more goods ahead of the back-to-school shopping season.
Shoppers who are upgrading their outdoor spaces, summer and fall wardrobes and back-to-school gear have plenty of ways to save this season. Amazon Prime Day and its rival events will follow 4th of July, another popular holiday for shopping.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best Amazon Prime Day competing sales that are happening now and beyond July 12. Stay tuned for more and bookmark this page as we’ll be updating our list as more deals are announced.
