The holiday sales and gifting season is here, and Walmart’s Holiday Deals event is still going having outlasted Amazon’s October Prime Day extravaganza. Thousands of massive deals are out en masse for tech, home, outdoor equipment and entertainment. From the Dyson V8 cordless vacuum to the MacBook Air and even work-from-home “essentials” like GE’s smart pellet ice maker, plenty of items are still available at huge discounts. What’s even better is that you don’t have to be a Walmart Plus member to avail yourself of these discounts — they are open to all.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
These sales, while exciting, can also feel overwhelming, so to help you shop, we’ve gone through all of Walmart’s best deals to find those worth your time and your hard-earned money. Our list includes everything from small phone accessories to big-ticket tech such as Samsung TVs and MacBooks. Be warned: while the Holiday Deals sale event may go until Oct. 13, we’re already seeing select items sell out, so don’t sleep on these deals or they may be gone by morning.
Best Walmart Holiday Deals on Tech
This isn’t the latest model on the market, but this price makes it hard to pass up, and it’s CNET’s top pick for the best budget MacBook. It has an Apple M1 chip with an eight-core CPU and a seven-core GPU. It also sports 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD and a long-lasting battery that can run for up to 18 hours between charges.
Although this deal is for a previous-gen pair, the Beats Solos are some of the best on-ear headphones on the market right now. The Solo 3 is equipped with Apple’s W1 chip, and boasts an impressive 40-hour battery life — although it lacks noise-canceling capabilities. Right now you can grab the black, red and rose gold variants on sale.
Best Walmart Holiday Deals for the Home
The Dyson V8 Absolute cordless vacuum is a convenient cleaning solution. It transforms into a handheld, so it’s not limited to just carpets or floors. You can tackle a variety of surfaces, especially those hard-to-reach areas and tight spaces.
A huge discount has been applied to this robot vacuum from Onson, which is designed as a two-in-one mop combination for tackling everything from hard floors to pet hair.
Best Walmart Holidays Deals for the Backyard
This trampoline has an enclosure net ringed with RGB lights and can hold up to 800 pounds, letting the kids (or kids at heart) keep bouncing into the night.
This Greenworks leaf blower can help you get your yard ready for the winter. It comes with a 4.0-Ah battery with an 80-minute runtime, and boasts power equivalent to a 28cc gas motor. It’s also significantly quieter than a gas-powered blower.
Best Walmart Holiday Deals on Games and Toys
This 2,660-piece kit is the perfect holiday gift for the Harry Potter fanatic in your life. The finished model stands at 8.5 inches tall, and includes iconic sites like the Astronomy Tower and Great Hall.
Sony’s latest sequel in the God of War saga has just arrived on PC, but can still be found on PlayStation 5 at a reduced rate. It picks up with Kratos and his son, Atreus, in the midst of Fimbulwinter as they prepare for the end of days. This action-adventure is one of the best games on the platform and provides a fantastic climax to the Norse saga that began with God of War in 2018.
When will Walmart’s Holiday Deals event sale end?
Walmart’s Holiday Deals event began on Oct. 8, with big savings available through Oct. 13. Walmart Plus members had first dibs on the deals, with a 12-hour exclusivity window on Oct. 8, with deals opening up to everyone at 12 a.m ET on Oct. 9 (or 6 a.m. in brick-and-mortar store locations). The deals are now live for everyone, so it is a great chance to grab your favorites before the sale ends.
What is on sale during Walmart’s Holiday Deals sale?
There are discounts of up to 30% on tech, kitchen, power stations and selected apparel. On top of this, many toys have a 40% price cut, candles have dropped by 50%, floor care and beauty by 60% and a huge 70% decrease has been applied to luggage.
Do I need to be a Walmart Plus member to shop Walmart’s Holiday Deals sale?
No, you don’t have to be a Walmart Plus member to shop Walmart’s Holiday Deals sale. Paying subscribers did have early access to the sale, but it’s now open to all.
Should I shop Walmart Holiday Deals or Amazon Prime Day?
The two events began on the same day and while the Amazon Prime Day is officially over, you can still find quite a few extended deals. If you are wondering where is it best to spend your money, the first consideration should be whether you have a Walmart Plus or Amazon Prime subscription. This is going to dictate access to some of the deals for some of the time.
As part of the event, Walmart has confirmed that discounts include 30% off tech, kitchen, power stations and select apparel, as well as up to 40% off toys, up to 50% off candles, up to 60% off floor care and beauty and up to 70% off luggage. If those categories appeal to you, it’s going to be worth at least perusing Walmart’s sales to find some bargains.
We’ll be highlighting the best deals from all the year’s biggest sales, so keep an eye on CNET.com/deals and the CNET Deals account on X for all the latest updates.
Does Walmart price match Amazon deals?
No, Walmart.com and Walmart in-store purchases will not price match Amazon or any competitor store’s deal pricing. While Walmart will price match in-store items to match Walmart.com prices on identical items sold by Walmart.com — not third-party vendors who sell through Walmart’s marketplace — on regular days, the retailer’s Price Match Policy, Walmart explicitly states it will not match online prices for in-store items during special events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Rollback/Clearance.
However, many deals in Walmart’s Holiday Deals event are also currently available on Amazon, even after Prime Day has ended.
How Did We Choose These Deals?
The deals highlighted here have been curated to meet our standards for value, quality, and worthiness of your wallet. They’re not all glamorous — yeah, steel storage shelves aren’t sexy, but they are incredibly useful in our increasingly-cluttered homes — but they are all deals of the highest quality and products we believe in. Many of them are also at or near their projected prices for Black Friday itself next month, or match their deal prices from last Black Friday, so that you can buy with confidence without getting deal FOMO.
