The best offers competing with Prime Day
You’ve heard that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and this year it’s all about Prime Day. The big retailers left and right want to enjoy the fun of Amazon with their own sales. Target is just the latest, which is setting its bullseye from October 13-14 with a new Deal Days event. When you’re ready to shop around and prepare for the holidays, here are Target’s best Prime Day alternatives.

Of course, the event itself is still a few days away, so this list is far from complete. Some of these offers won’t even be valid until the Deal Days event itself. So check back regularly. You can also head over to Target’s website for even more Deal Days savings. Many of the deals are from third parties so you won’t find all of these discounts in stores.

You’re probably used to all of the remote work situations by now, but there’s never a bad time to update your home office. Right now, you can save up to 30% on a wide variety of devices and accessories to make things easier. The deals are kind of like a grab bag overall, but we’ve picked some of our favorites:
Refurbished Acer KA2 monitor
Working on a small laptop screen is only enjoyable for so long. Adding a larger monitor to your setup isn’t difficult and your eyes will surely thank you for it. Acer’s remanufactured 27-inch KA2 monitor is currently offering 30% off for just $ 139.99. The monitor is a full HD display with a refresh rate of 75 Hz and manages a brightness of 250nits. Buying yours early will also allow you to use it to search for other Target Prime Day deals from October 13-14.
Green Extreme T300 HD webcam
If you work from home for the rest of the year, you likely have a lot of Zoom meetings on your calendar. Unfortunately, many laptops have to sacrifice camera quality for space, and desktops simply skip webcams altogether. A Green Extreme HD webcam can ensure that you look sharp. It is capable of shooting 30 fps at HD 1080p resolution with a wide angle lens and auto focus. Green Extreme’s T300 webcam is currently priced at $ 59 (down from $ 149).
Lenovo Legion M200 mouse
Your work structure doesn’t have to be boring – it just makes your day longer. This Lenovo Legion M200 gaming mouse adds a bit of RGB excitement to your desktop and can be used anytime after work for stress relief. The M200 has a total of five buttons and a wired connection so you no longer have to worry about an empty battery. You can use up to 2,400 DPI and switch between four different levels at the push of a button. The M200 gaming mouse is now $ 20.99 ($ 4 off).
Safe + Mate x Case-Mate phone disinfectant
This Target Prime Day offer is more meant for everyday use, but you can save 50% on a Safe + Mate and Case-Mate phone sanitizer. It’s a handy box big enough for pretty much any device, and uses eight UV lamps to keep your phone sterile. Thanks to the minimalist white surface and the simple box design, the phone disinfectant fits right on your desk at home.

It is equipped with Dolby Audio and the soundbar supports bluetooth multipoint connection so you can share the DJ chores with your friends. Get yours now for $ 447.99 (10% off).
Vankyo Leisure 430 projector
You can skip the television in your home theater altogether as long as you have a blank space big enough for a projector.
