Amazon’s annual Prime Day sales event, which the retailer created in 2015, is back. For 48 hours, Prime members can score great deals on tech, home appliances, toys and more. This year, the annual sales event will kick off tomorrow but you can actually start saving today with some Sunday Prime Day deals and discounts on Amazon and from other retailers. Currently, some of the biggest deals are on smart home devices, which are up to 40 percent off. You can also save on some of the newest tech like the Apple AirPods Pro and home security gadgets like Ring Spotlight Cam Battery.
SKIP AHEAD Deals from other retailers and Early Prime Day deals
In addition to Amazon’s early deals, Target, Walmart and Best Buy are also offering their own special sales. One day before Prime Day kicks off — on June 20 — Target is launching its summer sale equivalent, Deal Days, which will run until June 22. The sale features hundreds of discounts on electronics, home essentials, beauty items, toys and food and beverages — and you don’t need a membership to save. Also on June 20, Walmart is launching its Deals for Days sale that will span three days and features similar deals on laptops, tablets, headphones and more. And starting today, Best Buy is having its Dads and Grads event, which will feature significant discounts on Chromebooks, Bose headphones, GoPros and more.
What’s on sale during Amazon Prime Day 2021?
Shoppers can expect discounts on smart home devices, pet essentials, clothing, beauty, and more — with some of the best discounts on air purifiers, bidets and home fitness gear, according to experts we previously spoke to in our guide to Amazon Prime Day 2021.
“Prime Day shoppers looking to score bigger ticket items like appliances, grills, tools, cookware and electronics should take a minute to compare prices at the major department stores and home improvement retailers who will also have competing sales,” said Vipin Porwal, founder of and consumer expert at Smarty. “Here, shoppers can stack added savings utilizing cashback sites where major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy and Target boost those rewards during Prime week.”

To help you find some of the best deals happening now ahead of Prime Day 2021, we compiled a few notable items on sale from multiple retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and more.
