Millions of shoppers will be saving big on thousands of deals during Amazon’s annual Prime Day on July 11 and 12, but it’s not the only sale worth shopping in July. Many of Amazon’s biggest internet retail competitors are launching their own sales and discount events to get a piece of the action. We’re talking big savings at Walmart, Target, and Nordstrom, as well as fan-favorite brands like lululemon and J.Crew. 

Today's Top Deals

Amazon is by far the biggest online retailer, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other places to save. Check out the best Prime Day alternative sales below and stretch your savings well beyond your Amazon shopping cart. 

Best Prime Day Alternative Deals

1. Walmart+ Week

Walmart, the internet’s second-largest retailer, is holding its first Walmart+ Week starting on July 10, directly overlapping with Amazon’s Prime Day. Walmart will be dropping the prices of thousands of products across their inventory, and the first 24 hours are available exclusively to Walmart+ subscribers. Similar to Amazon Prime, Walmart+ is Walmart’s subscriber program. It costs $12.95/month and comes with perks like free grocery delivery, free shipping with no order minimums, and a Paramount+ login. 

Starting on July 11, Walmart+ Week’s sales are open to anyone and are likely to pull some traffic away from Amazon towards better prices on the same goods. This type of competition will further drive prices down on pricey consumer goods like flat-screen TVs, headphones, and tabletsBose, Apple, LG, and Samsung are just a few brands we’ll be watching as Walmart rolls out the deals.
