Look out, Amazon, you’re not the only major player in town this sale season. Sure, Amazon’s October Prime Day event, which kicks off tomorrow, unofficially marks the start of the holiday shopping season, but there are other options to consider. Retailers like Best Buy are currently offering their own deals, giving you a chance to save on everything from big-ticket items to budget-friendly finds. In fact, Best Buy has discounts right now on TVs, laptops, security cameras, headphones and much more ahead of their major competitor’s sales. Walmart is also offering major discounts, which gives you extra options to stock up on essentials, tech and home appliances while preserving your budget.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
While you don’t need a Best Buy membership to shop for most of the discounts right now, having a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership can score you some additional savings on select items. We’ve found some of the top deals available and will continue to update this page with more savings as new offers appear and others expire, so you can find all the best deals.

How do Prime Big Deal Days deals and competitor sales at other retailers compare with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days and competitive sales at other major retailers have many similarities with Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Anecdotally, Black Friday tends to have better deals on large ticket items such as TVs, home appliances and laptops, whereas Prime Big Deal Days will tend to focus on more everyday essentials and items under $50.
If you are looking for a good bargain on stuff you are likely to need all year round, buy them during Prime Big Deal Days. If you are looking for that “once-a-year” bargain, Black Friday is probably your best bet. If you want to beat the holiday rush, there will be plenty of items on sale that make great gifts for loved ones.
