With Amazon Prime Day just around the corner on July 11 and 12, many retailers are jumping on the bandwagon and offering their own competing sales. This is great news for shoppers who want to avoid the cost of an Amazon Prime membership, which is $15 per month or $139 annually. Companies like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Petco have announced their own shopping days to rival Amazon Prime Day, while Overstock, Wayfair, and others have already kicked off their own blowout sales.
The best part is that these rival sales offer savings on a wide range of products, including designer clothing, accessories, eyewear, smartphones, laptops, cookware, home appliances, televisions, soundbars, and gaming systems.
