Best Buy is taking on Amazon’s Prime Day by kicking off its Black Friday savings early this year, on Oct. 13-14 (concurrent with Amazon’s event), with dozens of deals and a "Black Friday Prices Guarentee" for loyalty members.
Though a smart shopping cart, Alexa integration and e-commerce services garnered much of the attention in Amazon Fresh’s debut, good value on stock-up trips for grocery shoppers is central to the format’s strategy.
