Prime Day week is here, but before you start rifling through page after page of Amazon deals, you should know Amazon isn't the only fish in the sea.
In fact, many companies are combating Amazon's Prime Day dominance with some fairly impressive sales of their own. That includes the Boing Boing Store and a full collection of 15 different everyday carry items that everyone should carry…well, every day.
With discounts of up to 58 percent, there's plenty of savings to be had already, but if you enter the code OCTSALE20 during checkout, you can even save an extra 20 percent off your final purchase price.
