The Best Amazon Prime Day Deals You Won’t Find on Amazon
Contrary to all the Amazon buzz, many of the top bargains during the next few days can be found at Prime Day competitors.
Whether you’re on the hunt for deals on leather sofas or Ninja air fryers, you can bypass even the best Amazon Prime Day deals by heading over to kitchen-centric retailers like Sur La Table, or everyone’s favorite midcentury furniture purveyor, West Elm. You might think that the best deals only apply to gadgets, like robot vacuums, laptops, Sony and Apple products, but there are even bigger discounts to be uncovered in home necessities, and decor as well. True to last year’s trends, larger retailers like Walmart and Best Buy have hopped in with even bigger deals leading up to the big day. Don’t worry, we already combed Target Deal Days for some standouts as well so just keep your wallet handy and your WiFi cracking along at high speed.
While there have been some early Prime Day deals on hot ticket items like Instant Pots and lots of vacuums, if you are still hoping to get ahead of the big two-day shopping fest, definitely give some of the other retailers a good once-over. We’ve rounded up kitchen appliances, rugs, patio furniture–just about everything you need from savings events around the web.
As per usual, we can’t say enough good things about Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. From cozy Barefoot Dreams blankets in the chicest of patterns to framed and un-framed art prints that will add a pop of color to your home, they’ve got you covered. While it’s only open to Nordstrom credit card holders right now, the actual sale will begin on July 15 and run through July 31.
West Elm has extended its warehouse sale for a limited time–so make sure to act quickly. That said, they have huge markdowns that rival even the best Prime Day deals, including living room, bedroom furniture and flooring up to 40% off.
This just might be one of the best shopping events in town. Sur La Table is offering up to 45% off on small kitchen appliances—and boy do they have some small appliance brands to choose from. They have marked down Vitamix blenders, KitchenAid stand mixers and just about everything else on your dream kitchen wish list.
Balsam Hill is celebrating Christmas in July by offering up to 50% off on some of their best-selling trees and decor. That’s right, go ahead and get it now so that it can go up first thing on Black Friday. Of course, it’s worth mentioning that they have the best faux Christmas trees in the game, so if you’re looking for an upgrade, you couldn’t pick a better option.
Wayfair is hosting their warehouse clearout sale, which is updated daily. In addition to that, they’ve got markdowns on area rugs, sheet sets and so much more.
From patio furniture to mattresses and even grills, Home Depot is offering deep discounts on everything you need. It’s a great time to update any of your kitchen appliances or other home-improving staples.
Go ahead and update your linens with bedding essentials, down comforters and even bathroom essentials. Brooklinen offers top-notch linens that are available in different patterns and fabrics that will make your home fee extra luxe.
One of the top Prime Day competitors when it comes to electronics, Best Buy is marking down items for back-to-school sales and end of summer clearances, so they’re a good outlet to keep an eye on. Right now, they have select TVs up to $500 off, which even includes a couple of Samsung and Sony options. They will be offering even deeper discounts July 11 through 13 as part of their Black Friday in July promo.
Of course Walmart will have to weigh in on the savings, and they have used the opportunity to mark down some summer essentials and smart home devices. Throughout the week of July 11 through 13, they will also be offering bigger discounts on other departments as well.
