While Prime Day offers a plethora of epic deals for loyal Amazon customers, other major retailers including Best Buy offer temping discounts too. Amazon’s competitors stage their own savings events alongside Amazon to lure in bargain shoppers.
Last year, Best Buy held a 24-hour savings event during Prime Day. In fact, we saw staggering discounts on laptops, tablets, headphones and more from the big box retailer. This year, we expect more of the same from Best Buy along with the rollout of, “only at Best Buy” exclusive products.
For example, the Sony WF-C500 Wireless Earbuds (Green) (opens in new tab) which are currently on sale for $68 ($32 off) at the time of writing this article. We have not seen this color variant at any other retailer. Although Amazon offers the WF-C500 for the same price (opens in new tab), they’re only available in two colors — black and white.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?
Amazon’s April quarterly report spilled the tea and revealed that Prime Day 2022 will return to July. We expect Amazon to release the specifics of the actual start date and time of Prime Day 2022 within the coming weeks.
Prime Day typically occurs during the second or third week of July to coincide with Amazon’s July 5 founding date. However, there have been a few exceptions to the rule.
In 2020, Prime Day was pushed back to October 13-14 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The following year, Prime Day 2021 took place on June 21 and June 22 to kick off the summer. Although Prime Day 2022’s date remains a mystery at this time, it will arrive before we know it.
We’ll be tracking the top Best Buy’s Prime Day 2022 alternative deals this summer. Until then, here are the best Prime Day-rivaling deals you can get at Best Buy right now.
