Prime Day deals are here and guess what? After years of Amazon dominating with its Prime Day sales, we’re not so convinced this time around. That’s because Walmart Prime Day deals (that’s their unofficial name; it’s really called the Walmart Deals for Days sale) have come out swinging and are actually way better with extensive discounts on quality products from big household names. Not convinced? Read on while we take you through our findings.

Why is the Walmart Prime Day sale better than Amazon?

Simply put, both Walmart and Amazon have gone for different methods in their sales. Amazon has taken the quantity over quality approach. The company has discounted millions of products that look initially amazing but it means the quality isn’t always there. While there are some big discounts in terms of the likes of Prime Day Fitbit deals or Prime Day AirPods deals, there’s also a lot of filler in there. That means you have to search far and wide to find a diamond in the rough. Granted, we’re on hand to help you find those gems but we’re not convinced that Amazon Prime Day is quite as great across the board as some may have anticipated.

So, how about Walmart? The Walmart Deals for Days sale is truly pretty special. Check out its landing page and you’ll see the retailer has gone for quality over quantity. It might not have quite as many items on sale as Amazon but there are still loads of fantastic items there, and they’re all at excellent prices. The sale includes a little bit of everything including cheap 4K TVs, robot vacuums, laptops, air fryers, and mostly everything you could need for your home. As we said, Walmart is all about quality here. Even better, you don’t need to be a Prime member to enjoy the Walmart sales. Unlike the exclusivity of Amazon Prime, anyone can shop the Walmart sale and enjoy its many benefits and sale prices.

Where should I buy from in Prime Day sales?

We’re not saying to ignore Amazon. Not by a long shot. There are definitely some good deals out there but if you’re short on browsing time and simply want quality over quantity, you can’t go wrong with the Walmart Deals for Days sale. Walmart has knocked it out of the park with some awesome prices for major brands that you’re sure to love. As always, keep it locked in here and check out all our Prime Day deals while we find the best prices for you, and don’t forget to consult our best products guides to find the right item for you. It’s a smart move to shop around, especially when sales are so competitive right now.

Amazon is a great retailer to turn to if you’re on the hunt for some deals, and this is especially true if you’ve got an eye out for the best TV deals. You can find some impressive savings for your home theater, living room, or basement viewing experience at Amazon right now, as the retail giant has a lot of TVs discounted.

Below we’ve rounded up what we feel are the best Amazon TV deals to check out right now. Amazon tends to be a place to grab budget TVs, so you won't find many examples of best TV brands, although there are some Samsung TV deals and LG TV deals below.

Insignia 32-inch F20 Series HD Fire TV -- $90, was $130

If you don't mind skipping 4K Ultra HD resolution and a massive screen in favor of a lower price, then you'll want to purchase the 32-inch Insignia F20 Series HD Fire TV. You'll be able to watch your favorite shows on HD resolution, and because the TV supports HDMI ARC, it can send audio directly from its HDMI port to a compatible soundbar or AV receiver to remove the necessity of an extra cable.

The budget TV even comes with an Alexa Voice Remote, so you'll be able to search for content, switch input sources, control playback, and many more using voice commands. It also supports Apple's AirPlay, which will let you easily share videos and photos from an Apple device to the TV's 32-inch screen.

Amazon Prime Day 2024: Amazon confirms the shopping holiday for July
Prime Day graphic with multiple products.

Amazon has confirmed another Prime Day for July 2024. Exact dates for Prime Day 2024 have not been announced yet. This year marks the tenth anniversary of Amazon's massive shopping holiday.

After ten years of Prime Day, this confirmation might seem a little obvious, like confirming that Halloween will happen again this year. But the dates for Prime Day shift slightly every year, and sometimes Amazon announces a second Prime Day in the fall. Some recent Prime Days have taken place in late June, so this announcement confirms a later-than-usual date. It's likely that we won't know the exact Prime Day 2024 date until a few weeks before it starts, perhaps in mid June.

Loved Fallout on Amazon Prime? Get Fallout 4 for PC for only $8

If you haven't turned on your TV recently, then you may not know about the Fallout show that was just released and one that we already consider more impressive than The Last of Us, which is saying a lot. The show is based on the games, and this surge of popularity has driven a lot of people to pick up the last game single-player game in the series, Fallout 4, to the point where even the studio that made it, Bethesda, is releasing a next-gen update for it. So, if you've never played it before and want to pick it up or want to revisit the world of Fallout but on PC, you can grab this deal from CDkeys that discounts it way down to just $8 from the usual $50.

Why you should buy Fallout 4
While there are a lot of great Fallout games, with one of the favorites among fans being Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 is still highly ranked, and if you're looking for a great single-player experience of the world with modern graphics, that's the one to go for. The world is truly massive in size, and there's an absolute ton for you to explore, with the character development and customization being pretty excellent, and while the story is a little bit predictable and derivative of older Fallout games, it's still enjoyable overall. Probably one of the biggest updates to the Fallout formula is the new crafting and settlement systems, which let you build . . . well, a settlement of your own making.
