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. Target, Walmart and Petco currently have ongoing sales to compete with Amazon Prime Day, while Overstock, Wayfair and other online furniture retailers are hosting major savings on back-to-school essentials. 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.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best Amazon Prime Day competing sales that are happening now through July 16. Stay tuned for more and bookmark this page as we’ll be updating our list as more deals are announced.
