When is Amazon Prime Day 2020?

Amazon Prime Day is taking place from October 13 & 14, 2020. If you want to get technical, it officially starts at midnight on October 13 and ends at 11:59 PM PST on October 14. This gives you 2 days to get your hands on all the best deals and sales. 

While Prime Day hasn’t started just yet, there are some early deals available. Check out the list below to see what you can purchase right now.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is technically Prime Days because it is two whole days of deals on thousands of Amazon products - everything from home and garden items to electronics and books. This also includes Amazon specific products like the Amazon Echo, Fire TVs, and Kindles and e-books. 

You’ll have to be quick though. Some items will be on sale for the entirety of the event, while others will be Lightning deals, products that go on sale for a limited time and then go away. Products can also sell out, so if you want something make sure you buy it right away.

How Do I Participate In Amazon Prime Day 2020?

Are there Other Deals You Can Find on Prime Day Not on Amazon?

Amazon isn’t the only retailer one offering customers sales this week. There are other retailers jumping on the Prime Day train this year. Here’s where to find other sales and deals not on Amazon. 

Best Buy 

Best Buy is joining in on the deals with their own event. They are kicking off their Black Friday deals in October, on the 13th and 14th, to provide early and safe shopping for customers. The biggest deal being advertised is a 70-inch Samsung 4K Smart TV for just $529.99. They are also offering a Black Friday guarentee: if the price on one of the deals goes lower before (actual) Black Friday, My Best Buy Customers will be automatically reimbursed the difference. 

Target

Target Deals Days is taking place on October 13-14 as well this year. They are advertising 100’s of online-only deals through their free program Target Circle. They have 20% off fall decor items perfect to make your home spooky for the season as well as 10% off laptops and home theater items. Expect more deals in the coming days. 

Walmart

Walmart’s Big Save Event is running from October 11-15. They have deals on everything from home to electronics and toys and video games. They have Apple Watch Series 3 GPS for $167.31, LEGO Classic Bricks Set for $39.97, Beats Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones for $199.95, and much more! The deals seem comparable to Amazon, so make sure to check both sites before making any purchases.
