Several other tech retailers including Newegg, Best Buy, and Walmart are also jumping on the sales train and hosting their own events. Newegg has its Techtober sales event, while Best Buy is hosting a 48-hour flash sale and Walmart is having its Walmart Deals, so there are plenty of opportunities to hopefully pick up a bargain.
