Amazon’s “Prime Big Deal Days” may dominate headlines, but savvy shoppers know it’s also the week when competitors fire back with their own big discounts. From Walmart to Best Buy to Wayfair, plenty of retailers are rolling out aggressive deals designed to lure shoppers who want choice beyond Amazon.

If you don’t want to get locked into one platform, this is your moment. Below, you’ll find standout deals that rival Prime Big Deal Days’ specials — and then a full roundup of competing sales you should scope out while the hype is high.

Of course, we recommend perusing and shopping on Amazon during Prime Big Deal Days, too, because these are prices you might not see again until Black Friday rolls around (or maybe even then).

If you aren’t already a Prime member, no sweat. New members get a 30-day free trial before $14.99/month payments kick in.
