Amazon October Prime Day is live — but so are these sales: From Walmart to Best Buy

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2026 is here, but they’re not the only retailer offering major discounts.

Prime Day runs between Oct. 6 and Oct. 7, and during that same time, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and more of your faves are also dropping big sales.

After you’re done stocking up on all things Amazon, check out some of the top competing deals below. The holidays are coming up, and we grant you full permission to splurge sooner rather than later.

A spokesperson for Walmart told FOX last month, “We plan our events around how and when our customers want to shop. We know many customers are starting to think about the holidays earlier while also shopping for their everyday and seasonal needs, so we wanted to give them a full week to save in early October.”

Among the items on sale are Halloween decor and costumes, just in time for spooky season.
