[Amazon Prime Day](https://amzn.to/30TP8di) normally takes place in the summer, but because of the coronavirus pandemic it was [delayed in 2020](https://money.com/when-is-amazon-prime-day-2020/) and now kicks off on Tuesday, October 13. While Prime Day was created by Amazon (and its deals are exclusive only to members of the [Amazon Prime subscription service](https://amzn.to/2Ih5LsR)), it's become traditional for other major retailers to launch [competing sales](https://money.com/target-deals-sale-amazon-prime-day-2019/) around the same time. Target has a big ["Deal Days" sale](https://www.target.com/c/deal-days/-/N-xgolj) set for October 13 and 14 — the same days as Amazon Prime Day deals are live — and Walmart has introduced its ["Big Save" sales event](https://www.walmart.com/m/savings-spotlight) even sooner: The deals are live as of Monday, October 12. While Prime Day deals are available only to Amazon Prime members, who typically pay $12.99 per month or $119 per year after a [30-day free trial](https://amzn.to/2Ih5LsR), no subscription is required for the latest deals at Walmart and Target. It's easy to get free shipping on Walmart and Target orders too. Most orders of $35 or more come with free shipping from either retailer, and free in-store pickup is usually available as well. It's impossible to really know whether [Prime Day or Black Friday](https://money.com/prime-day-or-black-friday-best-deals/) will have the best deals this year, but one thing is pretty apparent: This week marks the unofficial beginning of the holiday deals season. Shoppers can look forward to aggressive sales and nonstop promotions starting now and lasting through New Year's. Walmart's "Big Save" sale matches the cheapest price we've ever seen on [Apple AirPods Pro](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-AirPods-Pro/520468661?irgwc=1&sourceid=imp_wWEz5Qz8WxyOR3AwUx0Mo3YSUkEzjWXYEULzQk0&veh=aff&wmlspartner=imp_137710&clickid=wWEz5Qz8WxyOR3AwUx0Mo3YSUkEzjWXYEULzQk0&sharedid=), and it features special deals on everything from pressure cookers to smart TVs, and from Levi's jeans to L.O.L. Surprise toys. Here are some of the deals that jumped out at us as particularly good, though one day into Walmart's sale some items were already listed as out of stock. The deals in Walmart's Big Save Sale are available through Thursday, October 15, assuming they haven't sold out. ## Walmart Best Deals: Big Save Sale ### Nintendo Switch Console, Animal Crossing New Horizons Edition: $299 ![](https://img.money.com/2020/10/Nintendo-Switch-Console-Animal-Crossing-New-Horizons-Edition.jpg) Nintendo Switch consoles have been [mostly sold out](https://money.com/nintendo-switch-deals/) in 2020, so while this is not a discount per se, it's exciting that Walmart and some other retailers have this special edition readily available for purchase. ### [Apple AirPods Pro](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-AirPods-Pro/520468661?irgwc=1&sourceid=imp_wWEz5Qz8WxyOR3AwUx0Mo3YSUkEzjWXYEULzQk0&veh=aff&wmlspartner=imp_137710&clickid=wWEz5Qz8WxyOR3AwUx0Mo3YSUkEzjWXYEULzQk0&sharedid=): $199 (list price $249) ![](https://img.money.com/2020/10/Apple-AirPods-Pro.jpg) Walmart and [Amazon](https://amzn.to/36W8ySB) both have AirPods Pro on sale at the [lowest price we've ever seen](https://money.com/airpods-pro-deal-walmart-prime-day/). ### **ionVac Robot Vacuum Wi-Fi Connected: $99.99 (list price $179.99)** ![](https://img.money.com/2020/10/ionVac-Robot-Vacuum-Powerful-2000Pa-Suction2.jpeg) Under $100 is dirt cheap for a [robot vacuum cleaner](https://money.com/best-robot-vacuum-roomba/), which can easily [cost hundreds of dollars](https://money.com/best-robot-vacuum-roomba/). ### **Lenovo Chromebook S330 14" HD Display: $199 (list price $299)** ![](https://img.money.com/2020/10/Lenovo-81JW0001US-Chromebook-S330-1422-HD-Display2.jpeg) With the [laptop shortage](https://money.com/laptop-shortage-deals-refurbished-macbooks/), it's been hard to find basic Chromebooks in stock at any price, let alone a sale price.
