ICYMI, Amazon Prime Day is coming on October 13 and 14 with two full days of endless deals across all product categories, from pricey tech gadgets to luxury beauty products. Normally, Prime Day is considered the “Black Friday in July” because it’s always taken place during the summer, but this year it was pushed back due to the pandemic, and we’re actually here for the date change since the two-day sale event is probably going to be the official kick-off of the holiday shopping season.

Following Amazon’s lead, plenty of other major retailers will also be holding adjacent (and massive) sitewide sales during Prime Day week, offering plenty of doorbuster deals on big-ticket items like TVs and AirPods, along with ample opportunities to stock up on holiday gifts for everyone on your list by supporting small and Black-owned businesses. Ahead, we’ve rounded up a few Amazon Prime Day alternative sales to shop next week and a few discounted items we’re already prepping our carts with. Make sure to bookmark this page, as we’ll be popping in to add updates and additional sales to shop as they become available.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
