UPDATE: Jul. 15, 2024, 10:25 a.m. EDT Best Buy's Black Friday in July has officially kicked off. We've updated this list with most up-to-date deals from the retailer's sale.
In the same way that Black Friday has become more of a season than a singular day, at this point, the entire month of July could aptly be called Prime Day season. Besides the shopping behemoth that started it all, it's become tradition for other huge retailers like Best Buy to host a major sale event of their own — which coincidentally falls on or near Prime Day, of course.
Hot on the heels of Best Buy's 4th of July sale, the retailer is hosting Black Friday in July sale from July 15 through 17. (Did anyone put money on that?) That not only sucks up some attention from actual Prime Day on July 16 and 17, but also offers one extra day for shopping — though a huge chunk of Prime Day deals are already live on July 15.
SEE ALSO: Just in time for Prime Day, Target's Circle Week is back July 7 through 13Now that Best Buy's sale has officially begun, we're sorting through the retailer's Prime Day-esque deals. Plus, based on past Best Buy sales, we can pretty confidently predict the categories where the tech retailer will outshine Amazon.
Where Best Buy beats Amazon
Amazon's discounts cover a wider variety of product categories, but Best Buy has a history of beating Amazon's deals in several major tech categories. Best Buy tends to have a more reliable slew of TVs and laptops on sale, especially compared to Amazon's smaller variety of laptop brands and iffy third-party sellers. Meanwhile, Amazon typically wins when it comes to the home and kitchen category, including robot vacuum deals.
Best Buy doesn't gatekeep its deals quite like Amazon does, generally leaving most discounts available to the public and reserving a handful of exclusive discounts on premium brands like Samsung or Dyson for paid My Best Buy members. Amazon does, however, surprise some shoppers with access to invite-only deals, which features some pretty jaw-dropping price cuts on items like headphones or Fire TVs that you definitely won't find anywhere else.
SEE ALSO: Walmart vs. Amazon: Which retail giant has the best deals?Best Buy also hosts regular "Best Buy Drops," a feature found only on the retailer's mobile app. Drops give mobile shoppers exclusive access to discounts on high-profile products in categories like gaming, cheap TVs, fan-favorite pop culture merch, high-profile hair tools, kitchen gadgets, and more. As long as you have the Best Buy mobile app, you can preview what's coming so that you're ready to click "add to cart" when the deal goes live.
Check out our favorite Best Buy deals below and our running list of the best Prime Day deals in every category. We'll be looking closely for Best Buy deals that match or beat Amazon pricing.

Why we like it
If you're eyeing a Fire TV this Prime Day season, don't automatically opt for the Omni on name recognition alone. While Amazon's own in-house Fire TVs areon sale, you definitely won't be seeing one of those 75-inch bad boys go on sale for less than $500. However, Toshiba's well-reviewed C35 Fire TV is a different story. Sure, the C350 is admittedly a basic 4K TV, but it's definitely decent enough for casual watching or light gaming, especially if you care more about getting the biggest screen for your buck over specs.

Why we like it
Despite every pair of AirPods dropping to record-low pricing the week before Prime Day, your itch for a pair of budget ANC earbuds may still not be scratched by the price tags that still exceed $100. You can find a solid alternative in the JBL Tune Buds True — at $69.99, they're just $20 away from the lowest they've ever dropped, which was only seen during the 2023 Black Friday season. The Tune Buds True can last for up to 32 hours on a single charge, unassumingly booming bass, and honestly, look a lot like the AirPods Pro.
