Best Buy Kicks Off Black Friday On Oct. 13-14
With Amazon Prime Day deals arriving next week, other major retailers are dropping their own Prime Day sales to compete. Target’s Deal Days is happening next week and Walmart Prime Day deals have just arrived today.
While the obvious answer to this is to just shop whatever sale has the best prices, the two retailers have historically had very similar price points on a variety of tech categories. Amazon is going to be your go-to source for clothing sales and kitchen discounts, but Best Buy may have the advantage if you’re looking for Apple Deals on Prime Day.
