16 competing Prime Day 2022 sales from big retailers like Target, Best Buy, and eBay — plus early deals to shop now

Walmart

In the past, Walmart held a “Deals for Days” event to rival Prime Day. However, the retailer announced it won’t hold the event in 2022. Instead, it will continue to offer daily deals, which we will track.

This year’s Target Deal Days event will be online from July 11 to 13. Target’s sales event often includes savings on vacuums, Apple products, kitchen appliances, and headphones.

There are also early deals, including “deal of the day” special discounts. These daily deals can include home decor, electronics, and more. You can also check out our dedicated Target Prime Day deals post for more details. You can already find discounts on popular products such as the Google Nest Audio, Apple AirPods Pro, Beats by Dre products, Casper mattresses, and Ninja blenders.

Best Buy’s Black Friday in July Sale takes place July 11 to 13. Best Buy’s competing Prime Day discounts are open to all shoppers. However, My Best Buy rewards members may get exclusive savings or early access to deals. (Not a member? It’s free to sign up.)

Best Buy’s Black Friday in July Sale promotions often include up to 50% off gaming laptops, small kitchen appliances, and phones. We expect the same this year and will add more deals as they appear. So far, you can already find up to 46% off headphones from brands such as Bose, Sony, and Beats — as well as 20% off TVs and up to 13% off smartwatches. But, you’ll likely see steeper discounts on the products that remain in stock closer to Prime Day.

Last month, Chewy ran its annual Blue Box Event with some of the best discounts we’ve ever seen on pet products, including food, treats, supplies, and flea treatments. To coincide with Prime Day, we expect to see their usual price matching along with some special deals.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?

This year, Amazon Prime Day will take place Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13. 

Are Amazon Prime Day deals worth it?

It depends on what you’re shopping for. Amazon Prime Day is an Amazon event. The best offers will be on Amazon products.

That includes its Echo smart speakers, Amazon Music Unlimited subscriptions, and Amazon-brand groceries. 

With major retailers like Walmart, Kohl’s, and Target running competing sales alongside Prime Day, you have some leeway to shop around for better deals on what you need.

Can anyone buy Amazon Prime Day deals?

Amazon Prime Day deals are for Amazon Prime members only. If you’re not a member yet and aren’t keen to purchase a full membership, you can take advantage of a free 30-day trial with full benefits. 

However, Prime membership comes with other benefits you can take advantage of year-round, so it’s worth signing up if you shop at Amazon often.

The appeal of competing Prime Day deals is that they’re open to the general public. Stores like Walmart may peddle membership offers, but outside of Amazon Prime Day, these sales are otherwise inclusive.
