Amazon’s spring sale is halfway done, and we’ve done some work to single out the best deals available, but many other retailers—like Target and Best Buy—have been going tit for tat, matching prices and spinning up aggressive deals of their own. Amazon’s ongoing buy-two-get-one-free sale closely resembles the same one from Target, each offering mix-and-match bundles of books, vinyls, and DVDs at discounted prices. Here’s how each sale works, along with a few of the best items worth highlighting from both Target and Amazon.

The prices for the books, vinyls, and DVDs are virtually the same at both retailers, but each store may have different items in stock. For both retailers, you can mix and match the different types of items—in other words, you could get one book, one vinyl, and one movie—so get creative. Here are the links to each category to help you decide what items to throw in your cart.

Amazon’s sale

The Amazon items must be shipped together in a single order to receive the discount. You also don’t need to be a Prime Member to get the deal (but you’ll have to pay $6.99 for shipping).

Target’s sale

For Target, you can buy these products in person or online. You must add all three items to the cart to see the discount at checkout, and you must be a Target Circle member (which is free). The cheapest item of the three will be the free one.
