As a Professional Deal-Finder, I'm Stunned by Walmart's Record-Low Discounts

After a whirlwind 48 hours, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days has come and gone for another year — but there's still another chance to save on everything from Apple watches to faux Christmas trees. Walmart has its own savings event called the Walmart Holiday Deals Event, running now through October 13. We did some digging, and in some cases, Walmart's current deals rival the deep discounts we saw during Prime Big Deal Days.

To help you navigate these pre-Black Friday deals, our shopping pros scrolled through hundreds of listings (including checking price history data) to determine which deals are actually worth shopping at Walmart — and where you're better off saving your money.

Head Right to Walmart to Shop the Deals

Right now, the most worthwhile deals include Good Housekeeping Institute-tested home items, like the Samsung Frame TV for a record-low price, beating the current deal on Amazon. Lots of items from Walmart's 2024 Top Toys list are on sale too, at up to 50% off.

Beautiful by Drew Barrymore is one of Walmart's most popular home lines, and you can shop the brand's stunning espresso machine for under $100. Also score over $300 off this three-piece luggage set ahead of holiday travels, which comes with a hard-sided carry-on suitcase and two checked roller bags.
