Prime Day Competition



Who is ready to go broke in mid July? Just me? I mentioned in an earlier blog post about how a lot of retailers will have sales of their own to complete with Amazon Prime Day which is July 15-16 (48 hours!). Let's take a look at what retailers are going to compete with Amazon's Prime Day.


Target
Target is going to have it's own July "Deal Days" on both July 15th and July 16th. A draw to this online sale is that shoppers can pick up orders on the same day in the store if you can't wait for Amazon's 2-day shipping. Also, if you have a Target card, you will save another 5% if you use the card for payment. I love Target's in house brands, so I'm going to be watching this sale closely!


Walmart
Walmart has revealed that they are planning to offer thousands of deals on July 15th. Last year they joined in by offering free two-day shipping without memerbership fees and also promoted same-day pickup on a wide variety of items. They also heavily discounted Google Home Devices to compete with Amazon's brand.


eBay
eBay is promising "crash sale" deals on July 15th (for if, and probably when Amazon's site crashes, because let's face it this happens every year). I love prime day but it is frustrating that Amazon's site crashes every year. This year, if the sale causes Amazon's site to crash, eBay will launch what they are claiming as "too good to be true" sales. eBay will be launching a series of sale starting July 1st so crash or no crash, there will be deals to be had! On July 15th though, eBay plans to offer deals on LG, Apple, Samsung, KitchenAid and Garmin - with the prices dropping more if Amazon crashes.


Nordstrom
Let's not leave out Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale! This year, card members can access the sale early on July 12th, but the sale is live to the general public on July 19th and will run until August 4th. If you have not burned through all your cash on Prime Day, the anniversary sale is a sneak peak into fall looks and styles. It may seem odd to buy boots and coats in the middle of summer, but the sale has some great deals. Of course, if you are not in the mood to shop for fall/winter yet, I've noticed a lot of items do end up at the sale price later in the fall. If you do love something though, many items go out of stock during the sale and are not available after the fact. I always grab boots and coats for the kids.

#NSALE kids picks 2022

  The Nordstrom anniversary sale went live today for card holders to access the sale before the general public. The sale opens to the public on July 15th, but you can still preview the sale online and add items to your wish list!  It’s a rainy day here in Delaware, so my daughter and I decided to check out the sale in store and here are some of the kids items we snagged during the early access sale:  Boys : The North face Peril Glacier is an item I buy about every other year during the sale, and we’ve just been sizing up! This is a toddler size item so it goes up to 6T. If you have older boys check out the other north face options in bigger sizes . The Nike star runner 3 sneaker for my little guy is perfect because it’s lightweight mesh and has a Velcro closure. Toddler and little kid sizes for this one!  The Quicksilver kids rainy season long-sleeve cotton graphic tee comes in sizes from toddler to big boy it’s a great item for a rainy summer day like today, th...

Amazon Prime Day 2018

Amazon Prime Day is one of the best sales each year for those that love all things Amazon. The sale is open only to Prime members, so if you have been thinking of joining, now is the time! You can sign up for a free 30 day trial as well that will get you through the sale, but I think once you have it, you will find it hard to  live without! Beyond access to this sale, members enjoy free 2 day shipping, Prime video (think Netflicks  competitor), Prime music, Prime reading, Prime photos, and so much more. The membership is a yearly fee, but you can cancel at any time. It’s been announced that the sale will launch on July 16 th at 3pm EST through July 17 th at 11:59 pm for 36  hours. Last year there were also daily deals in the days leading up to the sale as well to take advantage of!  No one knows for sure what products will be included, but it’s across the board in all categories, so there is  something for every...
