Amazon Prime Day 2023 is now here, and it lasts from July 11 to the end of the day on July 12. There are hundreds of thousands of deals available to Prime members around the world. BGR Deals is obviously covering the event from start to finish. Be sure to check out our roundup of the best Prime Day 2023 deals available right now.

Of course, there is one big problem with Amazon’s annual summer sale: Prime Day is only for Amazon Prime subscribers. What about everyone else?

Lucky for you, plenty of retailers out there are offering great Prime Day alternative sales. The list includes Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and more. And beyond the mere fact that these retailers are running big sales to compete with Prime Day, some of these events extend through the end of the week. Meanwhile, Amazon’s Prime Day sale will be over at the end of the day on Wednesday, July 12.

Here, we’re going to show you the five best sales to shop instead of Prime Day 2023.
