🟠 Amazon Prime Day 2026 — June 23–26

Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs June 23–26 — four full days, which is longer than the traditional two-day format Amazon has run in past years. Deals kick off at 12:01 a.m. PDT on June 23 and cover more than 35 categories. Early deals are already live for Prime members right now across electronics, groceries, beauty, home, and more — so you don’t have to wait for the official start to start saving.

This is Amazon’s biggest sale of the summer and historically one of the best times of the entire year to buy Amazon devices, small kitchen appliances, beauty, clothing, and everyday essentials. Prices on competing products at Walmart and Target also tend to drop during Prime Day week because retailers don’t want to lose the sale — so it’s worth checking all three hubs even for non-Amazon purchases.

What’s Included in Prime Day 2026

Amazon Devices — Up to 65% off: This is almost always the best Prime Day category and 2026 is no exception. Deals include up to 60% off Alexa+-enabled devices like the Echo Dot Max and Echo Show 11, plus up to 65% off across Kindle, Ring, Echo, Fire TV, Blink, and eero — including the Kindle Colorsoft Essentials bundle, Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, and Blink Outdoor 4 bundle.

Today’s Big Deals — New drops 3x daily: Amazon is running “Today’s Big Deals” drops at 12:00 a.m. PT, 8:00 a.m. PT, and 1:00 p.m. PT every day of the event. Between drops, new deals go live as often as every five minutes during peak windows. Deals have included 70% off Blink Outdoor 4, 50% off top brands like Drunk Elephant, SHOKZ, Nespresso, and Levi’s, and 40% off Our Place cookware. These are limited-quantity and move fast.

Amazon Haul — Deals from $1: Amazon Haul is running 50% off sitewide on Day 1 (some exclusions apply). Deals include crafting essentials from $1, tech and gadgets from $3, fashion finds under $5, and home refresh items under $6. Plus Amazon Haul’s ongoing 5% off $50+ and 10% off $75+ stacks on top.

Fashion — Up to 40% off: Clothing, shoes, and accessories across top brands and Amazon Fashion. Early deals from brands like Hanes, Carhartt, Levi’s, and Crocs are already live.

Beauty — Up to 30% off: Beauty and personal care is one of the strongest Prime Day categories. Expect deals on skincare, haircare tools, and name brands. Early picks include Drunk Elephant, ELEMIS, Hot Tools, and more.

Electronics — Up to 30% off: TVs, headphones, laptops, tablets, and smart home gear. Top brands like Apple, Sony, Ninja, Bissell, Dyson, and Shark are confirmed for the event.

Back-to-School: Amazon is leaning hard into back-to-school this year with deals on supplies, tech, dorm essentials, and clothing. If you have a student heading back in August, this is a good week to stock up before prices go back up.

Groceries & Fresh: Amazon is featuring more fresh grocery deals in 2026 including meat, produce, and deli. Worth checking Amazon Fresh if you use it.

Exclusive products: Amazon has new colorways and products from Away, Bissell, Dyson, Hamilton Beach, Hydro Flask, LANEIGE, and K-beauty brand Mamonde available exclusively through Amazon during the event.

Prime Visa bonus: New cardholders get a $200 Amazon gift card instantly upon approval (offer runs June 11–July 9). Existing cardholders earn 10% back or more on select Prime Day deals. There’s also a $120 instant gift card for new Prime Store Card approvals June 23–26.

Do You Need Prime to Shop?

Yes — Prime Day pricing is exclusive to Prime members. If you’re not already a member, here are your options before the sale ends:

• Start a free 30-day Prime trial — most straightforward option
• Prime Student: 6 months free — for college students with a .edu email
• Prime Young Adults: 6 months free — ages 18–24
• Prime Access: discounted membership — for SNAP/EBT and Medicaid cardholders

🔵 Walmart Deals Week 2026 — June 22–28

Walmart Deals runs June 22–28 — the longest of the three events at seven full days, available both online and in stores nationwide. This is Walmart’s annual answer to Prime Day, and they compete hard: expect thousands of deals across electronics, fashion, toys, collectibles, furniture, skincare, and early back-to-school finds at prices designed to pull shoppers away from Amazon.

Online deals begin at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 22. In-store deals begin at 6 a.m. local time on June 22. The event wraps up at 11:59 p.m. ET on June 28 online and at regular closing time in stores.

What’s Included in Walmart Deals 2026

Walmart+ Early Access — Hot Deal Drops: This is new for 2026. Eligible Walmart+ members get an exclusive 24-hour online-only head start on a curated selection of “hot Deal Drop” items starting at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 22, while supplies last. Any remaining hot Deal Drop items open to all customers at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 23. Note: $1 trial members, free trial members, W+ Student, and W+ Assist members are not eligible for this benefit.

Categories covered: Electronics, fashion, toys, collectibles, furniture, skincare, and back-to-school essentials. Walmart tends to be especially strong on big-ticket items like TVs and furniture during this event window, and their fashion and essentials pricing is consistently competitive with Amazon.

Delivery options during the event: Curbside pickup, Express Delivery in 30 minutes or less, and standard two-day shipping are all available. Walmart has expanded 30-minute-or-less delivery to 33 U.S. markets, so if you’re in a covered area you can get deals delivered faster than ever.

The “Catchin’ Feels” campaign: Yes, Walmart made a fictional boy band. Their in-house creative team launched a group called Alwayz with an original pop song to promote the event — which is the most extra thing Walmart has ever done and honestly we respect it. The point is they’re going all-in on this sale event in 2026.

Do You Need Walmart+ to Shop?

No — all Walmart Deals are available to everyone. But Walmart+ members get first access to the hot Deal Drop items before they open to the public on June 23. If you want that early access and aren’t a member yet, try Walmart+ free for 30 days. Membership includes free delivery, fuel discounts, Paramount+ streaming, early access to sales events, and more.

🔴 Target Circle Deal Days 2026 — June 23–26

Target Circle Deal Days runs June 23–26, with Target Circle 360 members getting early access starting June 22.

Deals are available in stores, on Target.com, and in the Target app, with convenient fulfillment options including Same Day Delivery, Drive Up, and Order Pickup.

Target is positioning this event heavily around back-to-school and summer, with up to 45% off across major categories and daily Deal of the Day drops throughout the four days.

Back-to-school and college — 40% off: JanSport backpacks, Casaluna and Threshold bedding and bath items for dorm rooms, and writing tools from BIC, Expo, Paper Mate, and Sharpie. This is the strongest back-to-school sale event of the summer so far.

Women’s clothing — 40% off: A New Day and Universal Thread, Target’s most popular owned apparel brands. This is a great time to stock up on summer and transitional pieces.

Beauty — 40% off: Hot Tools, KISS, and Revlon are confirmed. Beauty at Target during Circle events is consistently one of the better values across all three retailers.

Outdoor and Sun Squad gear — 40% off: Outdoor toys, coolers, and summer entertaining items. Perfect timing for summer and great if you’re stocking up for the rest of the season.

Deal of the Day drops: New one-day-only deals will be revealed daily throughout the event from brands including Crocs, Igloo, Sun Bum, Goodfellow, and Pillowfort. These are limited and refresh each morning, so it’s worth checking Target’s app or our hub every day.

💡 How to Shop All Three Sales Like a Pro

Three overlapping sales events sounds overwhelming. Here’s how to actually navigate the week without losing your mind or your budget.

Check all three hubs before you buy anything. The same category — kitchen appliances, for example — may be on sale at all three stores this week, but at different prices and from different brands. Spending 60 seconds comparing across our three hubs can save you real money, especially on items over $30.

Amazon devices are almost always Prime Day’s best deal. Echo, Kindle, Ring, Blink, Fire TV — these hit their lowest prices of the year during Prime Day, usually by a significant margin. If you’ve been eyeing any Amazon hardware, this is the week to buy.

Back-to-school shopping starts NOW. All three retailers are actively promoting back-to-school deals this week — and these prices won’t come back until August at the earliest, and often not at all at these levels. If you have kids heading back in the fall, stock up this week.

Check back daily. Seriously. Amazon drops new deals up to every five minutes during peak windows. Walmart’s hot Deal Drops are first-come, first-served and quantities are limited. Target releases new daily deals every morning of the event. Checking once at the start of the week means you’ll miss 80% of what’s available.

Know your prices before you shop. A “40% off” badge doesn’t mean much if the price was inflated to begin with. We track price history on our deal posts and only flag deals where the savings are real. When in doubt, check CamelCamelCamel for Amazon price history before you buy.

Early access is worth it this week. All three retailers offer some form of early access for paying members. Walmart+ gets in on hot Deal Drops a full 24 hours before everyone else. Target Circle 360 gets early access on June 22. Amazon Prime members can shop early deals right now. If you’re on the fence about a free trial for any of these memberships, this week is the best possible time to try one.

Use our app to catch deals without refreshing all day. Set your preferred brands and categories in the Fabulessly Frugal app and get a push notification the moment something drops. That’s the most practical way to not miss anything during a week when deals are updating constantly across three different retailers.

🛒 Category Guide: Where to Shop What

Not sure which store to go to for specific things? Here’s a quick breakdown based on what each retailer tends to do best during this particular event week.

Amazon devices (Echo, Kindle, Ring, Fire TV, Blink, eero): Buy at Amazon. No contest. These are Amazon’s own products and Prime Day is when they discount them the deepest — up to 65% off this year.

Kitchen appliances (coffee makers, air fryers, blenders, instant pots): Check Target first for Keurig, Cuisinart, and Ninja — they’re discounting these up to 45%. Amazon and Walmart will both have competing deals, but Target’s appliance discounts this event are strong.

Clothing and fashion: All three have deals, but it depends on what brands you want. Target is best for their owned brands (A New Day, Universal Thread, All in Motion). Amazon has broad fashion coverage up to 40% off including Levi’s, Hanes, and Carhartt. Walmart covers a wide range of basics and everyday fashion at competitive prices.

Beauty: Amazon is usually the strongest for beauty during Prime Day, with 30%+ off a wide range of prestige and drugstore brands. Target also does well here with 40% off Hot Tools, KISS, and Revlon. Both are worth checking depending on what brands you buy.

Electronics (TVs, headphones, laptops, smart home): Amazon and Walmart are the strongest here. Amazon has up to 30% off across top brands. Walmart typically goes aggressive on TVs and big-ticket electronics to compete with Prime Day.

Back-to-school supplies: Target is running the most targeted (pun intended) back-to-school sale of the three events this week — 40% off JanSport, BIC, Expo, Paper Mate, Sharpie, and dorm bedding. Worth starting there for school supplies and then checking Amazon for any specific tech items.

Outdoor and summer gear: Target has Sun Squad at 40% off. Amazon has competing outdoor deals. Walmart tends to have strong pricing on patio furniture and grills this time of year. Check all three for outdoor items.

Toys and kids: Walmart is historically aggressive on toy pricing during this event. Amazon also runs solid toy deals during Prime Day. Target’s Pillowfort and kids categories are discounted as Deal of the Day drops throughout the week.

Groceries and household essentials: Amazon and Walmart are the strongest here. Amazon Fresh is featuring more meat, produce, and deli deals this year. Walmart’s in-store and online grocery pricing during Deals Week is a good time to stock up on household staples.
