We're getting to that time of the year when every major retailer seems to have a huge sale leading up to the holidays. Amazon's "October Prime Day" sale is the main event in the fall, which all the other retailers seem to revolve around. This year, Best Buy's having multiple sales spanning over nearly a month in the lead-up to Black Friday.
