Shoppers have more than one major sale to choose from this week as Amazon’s Prime Day faces competition from similar events at Target and Walmart.
Amazon’s Prime Day runs through June 26, matching Target’s Circle Deal Days event, while Walmart Deals continues through June 28.
Experts say these sales can offer significant savings on big-ticket items such as electronics, vacuums, air fryers, and other household appliances. Everyday essentials, including cleaning products, paper goods, pet supplies, and skincare items, are also frequently discounted.
The sales may also provide an opportunity for families to get a head start on back-to-school and back-to-college shopping, helping spread expenses over time.
Before buying, consumers are encouraged to check a product’s price history rather than relying on advertised discounts. Amazon offers pricing history through its app and website, while tools such as CamelCamelCamel and CamelMart track past prices on Amazon and Walmart. Google Shopping can also help shoppers determine whether a sale price is truly a good deal.
