Not the best "Prime Day" technology offers from Amazon

Most Amazon Prime Day offers may only apply to Prime members, but this day is no longer just about Amazon. Over the years, the evolution of Prime Day has spawned competitive promotions for Amazon's biggest competitors (such as Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy). In addition to exclusive sales that Amazon may not have, these retailers usually match some of the biggest deals on Prime Day—giving anyone a chance to grab them. If you want to save some money, but don't want to contribute to the Amazon machine, we have collected the best anti-Prime membership day offers here, so you don't want to find them yourself.
