During Amazon Prime Day, Here Are The Sales Other Stores Are Running
When stores compete, buyers win.
Amazon Prime Day is a 36-hour event that runs July 16-17 and offers savings on all kinds of products from the mammoth online retailer. You need to be a Prime member to take advantage of the deals, but you can get a free one-month trial and cancel it later if you want. But other retailers aren't just sitting around and letting Amazon soak up all the consumer spending. To stay competitive, several other retailers are doing sales of their own. Here are some of the best ones going on.
