Prime Day brings huge discounts on a wide range of home goods, and if you know where to look, you can get great deals on everything from bedding to small appliances.
But Prime Big Deal Day isn't the only sale. Walmart is one of several retailers offering counter sales to try and compete with Amazon. What the Walmart Deals Holiday Kickoff lacks in selection, the prices more than make up for. In fact, Walmart is hosting the best Dyson and KitchenAid sales I've ever seen.
With so many sales, it can be hard to know which ones are truly great deals, which is where I come in. As a shopping writer, I've spent hours combing through thousands of sales on both sites to determine which retailer offers the best deals.
Here's my golden rule: Walmart has the best deals on name brand large appliances. Amazon has the best deals on small appliances and bedding.

If you're not a Prime member or want to shop at Walmart, here are some things to keep in mind:
Which is better?
Amazon has a wider selection of deals than Walmart, and its bedding selection is much better. While Walmart has some decent sheet sets, there are dozens of Prime Day bed sheet deals that could save you hundreds of dollars.
But Walmart's deals tend to be a bit cheaper than Amazon's: For example, the KitchenAid Artisan 5 Quart is $379.95 on Amazon but only $354.99 at Walmart, and the Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System is $189.99 on Amazon but only $168 at Walmart. And there are plenty of other examples like this.
The difference between these deals isn't huge — in most cases, you'll save tens of dollars at Walmart instead of hundreds — but these savings add up. If you want to buy a variety of household items rather than specific items, you could save a lot of money at Walmart.
It's also worth mentioning that Prime Big Deal Days only offers discounts to Amazon Prime members, so if you're not already a member, it may cost you $14.99 per month to participate in the two-day sales event. The Walmart Holiday Kickoff sale is available to everyone, not just Walmart+ members.
