1. How to shop the Wayfair Way Day sale?

Forget Black Friday sales when you’ve got Wayfair’s Way Day deals for two days, April 28-29, 2021. In addition to Flash Deals, they have some pretty sweet savings throughout the store:

• Up to 80% off on rugs and wall art
• Up to 70% off bedding
• Up to 65% off outdoor furniture and mattresses
• Up to 60% off kids’ furniture and kitchen and pet essentials

Although every sale is timed, Flash Deals only last through April 28 at midnight ET. To shop a deal simply click on a category and place items in your cart. Wayfair is offering free shipping sitewide during the Way Day sale, but some exclusions do apply such as flooring, large fixtures, and non-standard items.

If you’re new to Wayfair, enter your email address to get a 10% off purchase promo code that you can use on sale items. If you already have an account, use a different email account to claim this one-time coupon.

2. How to shop the Overstock 48 Hour Flash Sale?

Overstock’s 48 Hour Flash Sale is pretty similar to Wayfair’s WayDay, which is not a coincidence, as they are each other’s biggest competitors. In addition to discounts, watch out for flash coupons that randomly appear on the sale’s webpage. I got an extra 12% off coupon.

Activate your coupon by clicking on it, and Overstock will automatically choose either a sale price or coupon for the best savings on any item. The one thing I noticed is Overstock doesn’t have a 24-hour limit on Flash sale items like Wayfair does. Prices are good for the whole 48 hours. Here’s what kind of savings to expect:

• Up to 70% off rugs
• Coffee and end tables from $49
• Outdoor seating under $499
• Sheets and pillowcases from $19

Like with Wayfair’s sale, you click on a category and select your items. Shipping is free.

3. Wayfair takes the win on rugs.

Even though Wayfair said the savings were 70% off rugs, I found some that were over 80%!:

4. Overstock takes the win on Adirondack chairs.

Looking for Adirondack chairs? Skip Wayfair and go straight for Overstock. I found a set of wood chairs for a fraction of the price on Wayfair’s plastic one.

5. Wayfair takes the win on window treatments.

Although Wayfair and Overstock both have flash deals on their curtains, I found Wayfair’s to be a better bargain.

6. Overstock takes the win on industrial bookcases.

Be sure to calculate any coupon savings in your final price. Remember, Overstock automatically chooses either a sale price or coupon for the best savings. An industrial bookcase I found had better savings with my 12% off coupon that beat Wayfair’s sale price AND 10% off coupon combo.
